Back Space and deleting not working properly in word

R

Ricky

When I highlight some text and hit the backspace key in Microsoft Office Word
2003 rather then deleting the selected text the courser just moves to the
space immediately before the selected test and the text becomes unselected.
Also when I highlight text and then begin typing, rather then replacing the
highlighted text with what I'm typing it does the same thing as above then
adds my new typings before the previously selected text.

Any help on how to get this resolved is appreciated. BTW i am running XP on
a Toshiba Satellite A85 laptop if that helps.

Hi,

You will probably have more succes in the Word newsgroup, since this one is
dedicated to Microsoft Project.
Greetings,
