Hi,

After using Word for 10 years, something new just happened. When I
double-click to highlight a word (or block of words), in the past, hitting
the <delete> key would delete whatever was highlighted.

Now, I get a small message on the bottom left of my screen that says:
"Delete Block? No (Yes)" Hovering the cursor over either choices and
clicking, does nothing.

If anyone has run into this and solved it, please let me know. Thanks.
