MS Word, highlight then backspace wont delete

[tom999]

Hey guys,

Strange one, In word, when I highlight a sentance then press backspace to delete it, the highlight goes but it does not delete it. Its really bugging me

Any ideas?

Cheers, T

have u tried the classic switching it on and off?

this is a total guess of the top of my head but it may be something u have accidently pressed on ur keyboard e.g. Insert?

Anyway good luck
