I have a user that has two problems.  I am not sure if
they are related, but I do think it is a configuration
ussue.  The first and most troublesome problem is if the
user highlights a block of letters or words and hits the
Delete Key on the Keyboard it does not immediately delete
the block.  Instead it pops a message up on the bottom bar
asking to confirm the Block Delete with a "y".  Pressing
a "y" will delete the block any thing else will cancel the
delete request.  As none of my other users get this
response I assume this is an option I can turn onand off.  
Does anyone know where the control for this option is
located?  I have looked through all the option windows and
can not locate it.

The second problem is the Home Key on the Keyboard does
nothing when it is pressed.  I have looked at the area
where you can change the keyboard functions, but the key
has not been redefined.  Any ideas as to what else would
cause this?

Thanks

They are related.

Tools > Options > General

Uncheck both options that have to do with Word Perfect.
