Highlight and backspace doesn’t work – Microsoft Word
My roommate just had this problem with Microsoft Word 2003, and I found the fix using the Google search engine. Here’s what you do:
Tools -> Options -> Edit
Check “Typing Replaces Selection”
That’s all my roommate had to do. For the sake of completeness, the fix also says:
Tools -> Options -> General
Uncheck both options that have WordPerfect in them
Hope this helps someone.
Amazing!
Thanks so much!
I was starting to get extremely annoyed
Thxxxxxxx
I was trying to fix this for past 2 or 3 days !
That was easy lol
Too me its not the fact that it was the voice deal it’s the fact that break downs and bsod sure happen a lot to m$ during their demos. Really…. How many have there been… not sure I can count that high, has it ever happened to apple? (i dont know, asking..)
I read that post, I think it was extremely entertaining and fair. Presenting it that way really brought out a lot of points, a lot of information and links thrown in as well. Can you rebut any of the points?
I’m bookmarking this! (please don’t change your link :D )

Jason might be a great guy but he accepted to be in the difficult job of being the open source representative in a company that doesn’t really have a track record of acting in the best interest of free software and open source.
