How come I can't erase selected text with backspace anymore?
Hi there,
I have this annoying problem where I can't replace the selected text in word with something else simply by typing it in after I select the text with my mouse. I'm reduced to having to cut the text before I type. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks! |
