When I highlight text and then hit backspace, the text does not delete. Also, if I try typing while highlighting text, nothing is replaced and instead I begin typing from the beginning of my highlight.

Thank you if you can help.

try to click on the Tools menu then click Options then click the Edit tab and turn on "Typing replaces selection" and check the other options for your other problem. hope this helps.

good luck

Thanks a lot. It was getting to be very annoying.
