Default How can I delete a marked block of text without confirming it?

Microsoft Word 2003:

When I mark a block of text -- a word, line, sentence, etc. -- and press the
Delete key, I have to confirm it with Y. This is new behavior, and I would
like to disable the confirmation step. I can't find an option to do that.

Tools - Options - General, un-check both options that mention Wordperfect.

Thank you. It was the "Navigation keys for WordPerfect users" option that
was doing it. I would never have guessed it, because I have never used
WordPerfect.
