Word File - Backspace to Delete
I'm editing a file in Word 2007 (Vista) that was started in Word XP on a
different computer. Every time I try to use the backspace to delete, the characters highlight in blue with a strikethrough rather that delete. How do I turn this feature off? Very annoying, esp. the frustration in trying to find an answer through the Help feature. |

Sounds like you have Track Changes enabled. Turn it off and accept all the
changes. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Keith" wrote in message ...

Very annoying, esp. the frustration in trying to find an answer through the Help feature. First lesson in Microsoft products: Never expect any help in Help. Its the most obscure, irrelevant, mindless help system ever devised. Often you input the very phrase or error message in the program to no avail. Its like they forget to put in stuff in their Help area the second they create it in the program. Google is your friend here. MS Help is like a stupid, ignorant acquaintance that babbles incessantly about nothing. |
