Default Delete Block? No(Yes) comes up in the status bar followed by a fl.

In Word 2002,When I try to delete selected text by pressing the delete key
nothing happens. Instead a message comes up in the status bar "Delete Block?
No(Yes) followed by a flashing cursor. If I type the letter 'Y' the selected
text is deleted. This has only just started happening and it is very
annoying. I can find no clues in the help files.

Kathy,

A very common issue. ToolsOptionsGeneral and uncheck the 2 WordPerfect
features.
