Highlighting and typing doesn't overwrite text anymore.
I'm using MS Word 2003 and now for some strange reason, highlighting's messed
up. I highlight and start to type, and it just deselects the text and sticks my writing infront of it, i highlight and press backspace and it just puts my carrat in front of the selection and deselects it. normally doing both of these things would overwrite what i had highlighted and it doesn't anymore, to replace text i have to highlight and press 'Del'. This happens regardless of whether or not i have the OVR function on This happens in no other programs I've tried restarting the app and my machine Any suggestions? Thankyou, Matt Helyar |

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the "Typing
replaces selection" box | OK. M_Helyar wrote: I'm using MS Word 2003 and now for some strange reason, highlighting's messed up.
