Cannot Delete Selected Text or Backspace Key Won’t Delete Highlighted Text in Office Word 2003

Hi, I am running Office Word 2003 and whenever I select some text and hit the backspace key the text is not deleted and instead the text becomes unselected. If I select text and attempt to enter something else in its place the text is not cleared and instead the entered keys appear above this selected text.

Here is the solution I found to solve the problem:

  • On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Edit tab.
  • Click to select the Typing replaces selection check box, and then click OK.
