Highlighted text won't delete when I start typing
When I want to replace text in a Word document, I highlight the text and
start typing to replace it. For some reason that function stopped working. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it back on again? Now I have to highlight the text, hit "delete" and then I can start typing again. |
