Word 2003 won't accept del key to delete highlighted text!
The del will delete text in any other program but not in word. The glitch
materialized after an update. But even if I restore the system, I can't get the key to work. Anyone have a fix for this?!? It slows me down to use the highlight-RightClick-cut method. |

That was fast! You hit it right the first try. I never had the WP options set
so didn't know what they did. I never thought to look there since they were'nt "on" before. Your fix did it. (Now I just wonder why those were ticked after an update...) Thanks tons. You've save me time and frustration! The Kat "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Tools | Options | General: Clear the check boxes for both items that refer to WordPerfect.
