How do I paste over selected text?
In earlier versions of Word, I could copy some text, highlight some other
text and hit CTRL-V and the copied text would replace the highlighted text. With word 2003, nothing happens when I hit CTRL-V with other text selected. It just sits there. I have to hit DELETE and then CTRL-V to get it to work, but after hitting DELETE, my cursor is usually in a table or somewhere else I don't want it. Help! |
