Backspace to Delete

[Ben]

When I highlight a section of text my backspace key
doesn't work to delete or when I highlight text and want
to type over it it doesn't delete. How can I get this to
work?

 

[Guest]

I am not sure if this may work for you but any answer is
better than none on this issue if its a good one right?

Open the file, click on tools there should be
an "options" selection there. You can then change your
options to utilize the backspace key to delete.

I hope this helps.

Hi Lori,

Yes there are two answers in this thread.

Go to Tools/Options/General and turn off both WP options: WP
Navigation and WP Help.
