In Word. I highlight a section, hit backspace, doesn't delete
If you highlight a selection in Word and then hit backspace, it should delete
tthe selection. This no longer happens on one of my PC's. I've clearly changed something - I just don't know what. |

Hi ?B?SWFuIE5lbGRlcg==?=,
If you highlight a selection in Word and then hit backspace, it should delete tthe selection. This no longer happens on one of my PC's. I've clearly changed something - I just don't know what. If Track Changes is turned on, that will lock out this keyboard shortcut. Could that be what's happening?

Thanks for trying. Unfortunately this didn't sort the problem. My son has
now discovered what the problem was: Tools Options Edit tab and ensure 'Typing replaces selection' is checked "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?SWFuIE5lbGRlcg==?=, If you highlight a selection in Word and then hit backspace, it should delete tthe selection.

Tools | Options | Edit: Check "Typing replaces selection." Word considers
backspacing "typing." For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...DeleteText.htm -- Suzanne S.
