Backspace delete problems in Word

Guest

Could someone tell me how to reset the "backspace" button so I can use it to
delete highlighted text? I think I accidentally changed some setting while
using the program recently, so now when I highlight then high "backspace"
nothing happens. Thanks

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the "Typing
replaces selection" box | OK.
