Deleting Highlighted Text

[Guest]

Why when I highlight text, then backspace, the text remains, and cursor
moves to start of selected text? I've tried switching the "insert" button
on/off. I suspect it's something to do with a choice I've made in AutoFormat,
but I can't figure out which one. Thanks.

Tools > Options > General. Uncheck the two WordPerfect options.

Tools > Options, on the Edit tab check Typing replaces selection

Oops, sorry! Must have been thinking of something else when I posted that.
