RE: Delete key problems

You don't mention what version of Word you are using. The following is for
2003 and prior, instructions for 2007 may differ.
Tools, Options, Edit tab, check the box for "Typing replaces selection".
Hope this helps

When I highlight some text to delete in Word and press the back space key,
the text no longer deletes. I have to hit the delete key. This has happened
all of a sudden it was working fine with the backspace key before. I'm
wondering if I've hit a button on the keyboard to make this suddenly stop
working? Any help to turn this function back on?
