Delete selected text not working in Word 2004

Z

Hello -

I recently installed Word 2004 and have been adjusting the preferences
in keeping with the recommendations in "Bend Word to your Will".

For some reason, now when I select a block of text and hit 'delete',
instead of erasing the text the cursur just goes to the head of the
text and the text unselects (ie, the highlighting that indicated that
the text was selected turns off). The only way to erase text now is to
place the cursor at the end of the text and 'backspace' over it.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
