Why when I highlight text, then backspace, the text remains, and cursor
moves to start of selected text? I've tried switching the "insert" button
on/off. I suspect it's something to do with a choice I've made in AutoFormat,
but I can't figure out which one. Thanks.

Tools Options General. Uncheck the two WordPerfect options.
