I can't delete highlighted text
When I highlight text in Microsoft Word, and press backspace, nothing
happens! the text cursor just moves to the beginning of the highlighted text. This is only happening in Microsoft Word 2003, not in any other program, and I do not have either of the WordPerfect options selected! Please help! Siobhan |

I can't delete highlighted text
This is a different one: on the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the box
for "Typing replaces selection." (Word considers backspacing "typing.") -- Suzanne S.
