Deleting text doesnt work...
Ok, that's a little misleading, but what I mean is when I highlight
something to replace it and start typing, it just unhighlights it and starts typing where the cursor was. How do I make it so when it's highlighted and I start typing to replace the highlighted part, it deletes it? It does the same thing when I highlight it and hit the backspace button. But the delete key works. There is no issue with any other program. Thanks for your help. |

Tools | Options | Edit tab and check Typing replaces selection. Does this
solve your problem? -- Rae Drysdale " wrote: Ok, that's a little misleading, but what I mean is when I highlight something to replace it and start typing, it just unhighlights it and starts typing where the cursor was.
