When I select a paragraph and attempt to move it across
the page using the tab key it now deletes the entire text
instead of moving it as it had previously done. Please
could anyone advise on how to correct this.

On the Edit tab of the Tools>Options dialog box, make sure that
"Typing replaces selection" is not ticked.
