Highlighting to delete text no longer works
Normally when I highlight a portion of text and start typing, the highlighted
portion is deleted and my new text is inserted in place of the deleted text. I must have accidentally struck keys in a pattern to remove this process... or something else strange happened. Late last week this "feature" stopped working. Now when I highlight text and start typing, the new text is inserted in front of the text I wanted to delete and nothing is deleted. Any ideas to fix this? (Another thing is that the flashing bar to indicate where my text will be inserted in a body of text is now really tiny... not sure if this is a related issue.) |

Edit tab Check "Typing replaces selection" |
