When I have selected a word or paragraph in Word and try to delete it using
the DELETE key, I get a message at the bottom of my screen saying

"Delete Block? No (Yes)?" But nothing happens if I click near there. And
the only way I seem able to delete selected text is to use the backspace
button. I want it to just delete like it used to in Word 2000!

Go to Tools > Options > General and uncheck the two options that mention
WordPerfect.
