I've got a user here using Office 2003 on XP SP1. They are using an HP
laptop with the docking station and external keyboard. In Word and
Outlook (Word is using Outlook for the email editor) they can not
highlight a section of text and delete it using the Delete key on the
keyboard. This happens on the laptop keyboard also. This leads me to
believe it's not some keyboard setting.
Instead of the highlighted text being deleted the words "Delete Block
No (Yes)" appear in the lower left hand corner where usually the page
number is listed.

They can delete text from Excel and Note pad using the delete
keyboard key. With this only happening in Word and Outlook when
Outlook is using Word as the text editor, this leads me to believe
this is a Word setting.

Searching for Delete Block in Word help and the MS knowledge base
turns up nothing.

Any Ideas?

TIA
