I used to be able to highlight a word then type something over it, and it
would automatically delete that word and write whatever i needed. now it just
keeps that word and writes to left of it. or if i highligt it and press
backspace, it doesn't delete the word but only moves the cursor to the left
of the word. any ideas?

Click to expand...

In Tools > Options > Edit, check the option "Typing replaces
selection". Somehow it became unchecked.
