Delete key with a mind of its own
-- Kokopop. While working on a long document in Word 2007, I selected a paragraph and hit Delete. Nothing happened. After several failed attempts, I tried another tack: I selected the paragraph, right clicked and hit Cut. The text remained there unchanged, and a little box came up to say that €śThis is deleted text,€ť as if that explained something. The only way I was able to proceed was to copy the portions I wanted to retain and paste them into a new document, then delete the entire first document. Can anyone tell me what is going on? |

It sounds like you might have track changes turned on. In the status bar,
look for "Track changes". If you don't see it, then right-click the status bar and click Track Changes. It will now show you the status of track changes... click Track Changes to toggle it on/off. As it appears to have been turned on by accident, you'll likely need to Accept Changes in the Reviewing ribbon tab. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Kokopop" wrote in message ... -- Kokopop.

-- Kokopop Herb Tyson's answer was right on the money. I don't know how the Track Changes got on, but I am delighted to learn about this. Thank you very much. "Kokopop" wrote: -- Kokopop.
