Delete key not working
In Word 2007, how do I activate my delete key? When I hit the delete button
the cursor just moves forward without deleting. In previous answers to the posted questions you've said to go into Tools, Options... but I don't see a Tools menu. Thank you! |

Delete key not working
I'm still a Ribbon noobie but a lot of those type commands are now in the
Office button menu. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Jbear" wrote in message ...

Delete key not working
There's no checkbox option in Word 2007's Word Options that would turn the
Delete key off. It's possible that you reassigned it, but having it just move forward is very odd. Or, on some notebook computers, there are locking keys that can hijack the delete key. Alternatively, it is possible that a different language keyboard is turned on (do you see EN on the language bar?) Press Ctrl+Alt+[plus sign on number pad]. This should turn the mouse pointer into a cloverleaf. Press the Delete key. This should cause the Customize Keyboard dialog to be displayed. If the assignment is correct, it should say EditClear under Commands. If it says something other than EditClear, click on Del under Current keys: and then click Remove. This should restore Delete to the default assignment. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jbear" wrote in message ...
