Replacing Text by Highlighting and typing correct word over it. H Patriots 67 10.09.2006 15:39:01 When I'm typing in WORD (2003) and I want to make a correction (here's an example): If I want to replace a word (or letter) I HIGHLIGHT the word (or letter) and enter the word (or letter) I want to REPLACE it with. You would "think" it REPLACES the word (or text) I highlighted right? NOPE! When I replace the word (or letter) it ADDS the word/letter BEFORE the area I need to make the correction. How do I get it to REPLACE the word/letter without it adding the text/word before it? I wanted to "add" a word I could put the cursor to where I want it and do that manually myself but....I'm trying to REPLACE the text/word NOT add the text/word before the correction I need done. If anyone can assist me....it would GREATLY be MUCH appreciated! Please reply with your direct email so I can get faster responses. Many Thanks! Respectfully, Bill H. =)

Re: (2) Replacing Text by Highlighting & typing correct word over it Patriots 67 11.09.2006 01:59:01 JAY: You're a LIFESAVER!!!! MANY THANKS! P.S. The "link" I received in my email was "broken" or server "busy". You might want to notify MS Tech Support of this issue. When trying to access this info...the MS Website "hangs" or "times out" getting server errors. When I hit the REFRESH button THEN it will pull up the web page! P.S. I'm in the process of creating a 2007 Calendar. If you'd like one, I can email it to you come next month. Again...MANY THANKS for your help! I like this feature to email anyone with questions/problems because it's better than waiting on the phone (or paying) for Tech Support. Many Thanks again!
