I am unable to select text and backspace it.

Recently I have found that when I highlight text and then press backspace the
text is not deleted, similarly when text is highlighted and I type something
else this does not replace the highlighted text.

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check the "Typing
replaces selection" box | OK.
