Backspace Key
Hi
I know there have been a number of posts on this already but the fix isn't working at my site. The problem - the backspace key doesn't respond ... users can't click into a document to highlight with their mouse The suggested fix (which seems to have worked for most people here) - Word - Tools - Options - Edit - Make sure that "Typing replaces selection" is checked Any other suggestions please?!? Many thanks in advance. |

Backspace Key
Your problem is unclear: what should the backspace key (which deletes
a character to the left) have to do with clicking into a document to highlight with the mouse?

Backspace Key
Can any edits be done within the document? Is it only one document affected
or all? Not sure if this will help but it wont hurt to try. Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One (even if it already appears to be selected), then OK. If this solves the problem in a given document, and you are experiencing the same difficulty in all new documents, you'll need to make this same change in Normal.dot; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions on how to fix the template.
