Why won't a highlighted word delete when I type over it?

In the past I could highlight a word or phrase then type in teh new word. The
highlighted word would delete. Now my Word has decided not to delete the
highlighted word so I have to do mulitple steps. What formatting has changed?
IT is very frustrating.
Thanks

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