How are you using the spacebar to delete words? If Delete doesn't work, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...DeleteText.htm. If Backspace
doesn't work for selected text, make sure that "Typing replaces selection"
is checked on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.

Check your status bar--the bar at the bottom of the Word window that gives
you the page number, section number, etc. Is OVR in the middle grayed out or
black? If it is black, you probably pressed the Insert key by mistake. Press
Insert once more (or double click OVR) to gray it out and then the spacebar
won't "erase".
