Re: Delete Block

I get many relevant hits just on the subject line.



Interesting, when I search this news group for the subject "Delete Block" I
only get my post with the corresponding replies.


If you looked at the FAQ, you would have found:

Please point out where the FAQ to the
microsoft.public.word.application.errors news group is located. I've never
seen a FAQ for these newsgroups.


I make a habit of searching the news group before posting. I searched,
didn't find a single hit, so I posted a question.
I don't look for FAQs because I've never seen one in the many Win 2k
newsgroups I visit on a daily basis.

Note that I did do a search for "delete Block" within the message and
nothing showed up.

Searching again only shows up my post and the replies to my post.

How would this have saved me any typing?

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
