Highlight and delete
In all other word-processing programs I've used, it was easy to highlight a
word, phrase, sentence, or paragraph and then either delete, copy, or cut it. I cannot do this with Word. Is there some "option" that I don't know about? Have I chosen something I didn't mean to choose? This is sooo frustrating and I feel so foolish because I can't figure out how this simple, universal editing choice is not available in Word. I have MS Office 2003 with Word that came with Microsoft XP Home Edition in late 2004. |

Highlight and delete
Ensure that you have the two Word Perfect entries in tools options
general unchecked and tools options edit typing replaces selection checked. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Leta31 wrote: In all other word-processing programs I've used, it was easy to highlight a word, phrase, sentence, or paragraph and then either delete, copy, or cut it.
