I have just installed Office 2003. For some reason, when I select text, the
delete key will not delete it, and I have to use the cut function. On my
other machine, delete selected text works fine. How do I change the setting
so it will work on this machine?
 
In Word, click on Tools | Options | General | uncheck the two boxes for
WordPerfect help and navigation | OK.
 
Thanks. I can't believe it was something so simple. I couldn't remember
what editing change I had made that would cause this deleting problem all of
a sudden.
