Highlighted word wont DEL when I use Bakspc only in office/word

When I highlight a word in and hit the Backspace key it will not delete the
word, this is only in outlook and word , however I can delete using the
backspace key using one key stroke at a time.

In Tools Options Edit, check "Typing replaces selection". (In Word 2007
this option is at Office button Word Options Advanced.)
