: Could someone please help with a small annoying problem, I'm having with
WORD
: and OUTLOOK ( Outlook is using MS Word as its email editor ) I'm using
: Windows XP (with all current updates ) and MS Office 2003. The problem
: started last week, and I can't seem to find out what happened.
:
: Here is the minor yet annoying problem. Say I type a line of text " How
are
: you today" for an example. Before if I highlighted the word "are you" and
: then hit the back space, the words "are you" would disappear. But now when
I
: highlight them and hit the back space key, the highlight ( black
background )
: goes away BUT THE WORDS ARE STILL THERE. Yes I know I can highlight them
and
: hit the delete key, yes that works, but why doesn't the backspace Key
delete
: a highlighted area anymore.??? Or how do I re-enable the delete function
for
: the backspace key, (which begs the question of how did it get disabled?)
:
: Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated .
