Actually, using the Delete key in the first place would not cause the
problem (though it's subject to a different Options setting problem), but if you try to use Backspace, you will encounter it since Word considers backspacing "typing." -- Suzanne S.

When I use my delete key I get a confirmation bar in the bottom left of the
window. and have to hit either y or n to delete it. Is there a way to turn that off?
