How can I lock the Backspace Key in MS Word?

[Guest]

Can anyone explain me how do I can lock the backspace key in the Micro Soft
Word 2002? What I want is I want to give training for typing.. In that the
students should not use the backspace key...

Any Idea Pls....

Before we get too embroiled in *how* to do this, you might want to consider
*why* you're trying to do it. I understand your motivation, but,
realistically, unless the students are going to be using conventional
typewriters rather than electronic keyboards, disabling backspacing is
rather pointless. Accuracy in typing is paramount when laying down ink on a
page but becomes much less of an issue when the text is written in
electrons. I'm a *terrible* typist but can produce quite accurate text on a
computer keyboard because I can back up and make corrections quickly as I
type.

Thank you! I too am a terrible typist but that doesn't mean that I am a
perfect typist. Sometimes my hands can't keep up with my brain. When that
happens, the backspace key comes in handy.

I type rather quickly, but not necessarily accurately. I'm not sure if
that makes me a good or a bad typist! I usually know when I'm
pressing (or when I'm about to press) the wrong key, but I can't stop it
from happening... It's a peculiar phenomenon. Anyway, I certainly
wouldn't manage without access to the Backspace key.

That's exactly my situation. My fingers usually know when they've typed
wrong, but I also watch the screen as I type (which makes me even slower
when typing from copy). I can backspace and correct a lot faster than I
could type everything right to begin with.
