Why can't I highlight & delete text with backspace/typeover?
For some reason, Word settings have reset. The only way to re-write text is to
A) highlight and press delete B) backspace each letter Usual ways of highlighting and typing over or highlighting and pressing backspace are disabled. Help!!! Many thanks, Donna |
