Default When I delete block of text, it makes me confirm with Y or N.

I use Office 2003, and all of a sudden it takes an extra step to delete a
section of text. I used to be able to highlight a chunk of text, and hit the
delete key and it was gone. Now when I do that, Word makes me confirm by
answering "delete block? Y or N"

Is there a way to go back to not having to do that extra step?

Thanks

In Tools Options General, uncheck both options that mention WordPerfect.
