MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / January 2008Highlighting Text Not Deleting with Backspace
Hi, I have a problem using MS word; I wonder if you have encountered te following? When I highlight text and start typing the highlighted text doesn't get deleted (e.g. replaced by the first letter) as expected, infact what happens is that the new text enters before the highlighted text. The second problem, no doubt related, is that again if I highlight text and press the backspace the highlighted text is not deleted. This actually becomes quite annoying especially as my Outlook uses the word editor. I am using MS Word 2003 (11.8134.8132) SP2 Part of MS Office Pro 2003 Many Thanks, Oliver On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Typing replaces selection." Word considers backspacing "typing."  SignatureSuzanne S.
