I was typing and highlighting a word I want to delete by clicking on the word
with the mouse, then hitting the space bar to delete that word. I can only
now delete a highlighted word using the "Delete" key. How do I get back to
that short cut with the space bar?

Tools Options Edit check "Typing replaces selection".
