deleting highlighted with backspace

With previous versions of word I was able to highlight some letters or words
and press backspace and they would all delete. I could also highlight some
letters and press another letter and replace all of the highlighted letters
with it.
Now with word 2003 backspace does nothing and if I push another letter it
just inserts it where the cursor is.
Does anyone know how to change this back to how I'm used to?

thanks in advance,

Ian
