Highlighting Text Not Deleting with Backspace   
Hi,

I have a problem using MS word; I wonder if you have encountered te 
following?

When I highlight text and start typing the highlighted text doesn't get 
deleted (e.g. replaced by the first letter) as expected, infact what happens 
is that the new text enters before the highlighted text.

The second problem, no doubt related, is that again if I highlight text and 
press the backspace the highlighted text is not deleted.

This actually becomes quite annoying especially as my Outlook uses the word 
editor.

I am using MS Word 2003 (11.8134.8132) SP2
Part of MS Office Pro 2003

Many Thanks,

Oliver

On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Typing replaces
selection." Word considers backspacing "typing."
