Deleting/overwriting highlighted text

Guest

I used to be able to delete highlighted text with "backspace", but now
pressing backspace puts the cursur at the begining of the word. Also if I try
to write new text instead of the highlighted text it puts the letters at the
begining of the highlighted text. How can I get this to work again?

Tools > Options > Edit > check "Typing replaces selection".

Hi Matt-

Go to Tools>Options>Edit and put a check in the box for 'Typing replaces
selection'.
