when text is highlighted and backspace button is pressed nothing . chris_masters5 21.09.2006 19:31:01 When i highlight text in a word document and press the 'backspace' button or type some more text the original text is not deleted. If i press the 'delete' button the text is deleted though. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem. I don't have this problem in notepad or explorer! Thanks

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check the "Typing replaces selection" box | OK. chris_masters5 wrote: [Quoted Text] > When i highlight text in a word document and press the 'backspace' button or > type some more text the original text is not deleted.
