Default Why don't my highlighted phrases delete?

If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it. In Microsoft Word 2003 I cannot
delete any text that I highlight, in other words I cannot mass delete. Can
anyone tell me how to turn-off or fix whatever is causing this. It is very
frustrating and time consuming to delete a few pages of information using the
backspace key the entire time.

Thank you.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...DeleteText.htm. Also, make
sure you don't have Track Changes turned on.
