Default Selected text does not delete when typing in new text corrections

How do I get selected text to automatically disappear when typing over with
corrections?
The original text and new text remain in the document until I select the
unwanted text and hit delete.

Hi ?B?SlJC?=,

How do I get selected text to automatically disappear when typing over with
corrections?
The original text and new text remain in the document until I select the
unwanted text and hit delete.

Check the setting "Typing replaces selection" in Tools/Options/Edit
