When I'm in Microsoft Word I can't highlight a portion of text and use the backspace key to delete it. Also, I can't highlight a portion of text and paste something over it. Right now I have to use the delete key, which is a pain in the ass.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can change it?

By the way, I am able to do those things in other applications. This only occurs in Word.

Forget it, he's just kidding


Try this:
From the Tools menu, select Options and go to the General tab and uncheck the "Help for WordPerfect users" and the "Navigation keys for WordPerfect users" boxes.

should reset your backspace key to normal functionality ...

I'm using Microsoft Word though, I don't see anything that looks similar in the tools menu.  Crying or Very sad

well, on the options menue, look at the EDIT tab (if you find a checkbox that might cause the problem) and the COMPATIBILITY tab (where nothing should be selected by default)[/img]

I was just joking with Windows, some unusual stuff always happens on them, when i worked on MAC 4 years never had a single problem with anything, on Windows always something, now not to much 'cause i dont use much things.
