About 2 weeks ago, the delete key stopped deleting selected text in MS Word.
The key is not the problem, as it will still delete items that are not
selected by highlighting them. The only way I can delete selected text is to
press the <Backspace> key twice.
I may have inadvertently, without realizing, touched a key or series of keys
that changed the keyboard programming??
Also, there has been an autoupdate that occured in the background about the
time that this function stopped working.
Thanks, Joe
