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.

In Word 2007, click on Office Button | Word Options | Advanced |
check the "Typing replaces selected text" box | OK. In Word 2003 or earlier, click on Tools | Options | Edit tab | check the "Typing replaces selection" box | OK.
