why is my Backspace botton deleting words from both sides?
I'm not sure what i did to cause the Backspace botton to delete from both
side instead of one side. Also, when i press the space botton in the middleof two words, instead of there being more space, it ends up deleting words to my right. Why is this happening and how can i stop it? |

G'Day Monique,
You can set Word so that, when you Edit, Word... EITHER Overtypes OR Inserts ....as you type new text. You appear to have it set to Overtype. Try: ToolsOptions Edit (Tab) Make sure that both boxes... Use INS key for paste Overtype mode ...are UNCHECKED. With these settings... a. Word will normally insert as you type new text AND b. You can switch to Overtype (and back) using the Insert key on the keyboard. In the Word status bar, at the bottom of the Word window, you will see a 'grayed out' OVR. When you press Insert, this will become 'black' to indicate Overtype mode, press Insert again to 'gray' it and return to Insert mode. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Monique" wrote in message ...
