Default Can't Backspace :(

In Word 2003 or earlier, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check the
"Typing replaces selection" box | OK. In Word 2007, there is a similar
option in Office Button | Word Options | Advanced | Editing options.

Hi, i know this question has been asked a few times here but i can't see any
of the replies so here goes! When i highlight text i can't use the backspace
to delete or type over it, the cursor just goes back to the start of the
sentence. Help! It's really annoying, what did i do??? Thanks
