Restore Original KEYBOARD Shortcuts only!
For the past 2 weeks I've been having issues with the Microsoft Office
programs. I am guessing somehow a new shortcut was added to my keyboard. When I type in any Office program, then highlight the word to type over it, it only adds the newly typed letters infront - not deleting the old word. The only way to delete the word or letters mis-typed is to press the delete key. I have tried hitting the 'insert' key and it doesnt help either. How can I restore the KEYBOARD original settings without restoring ALL office settings? For example, while in Office Word, if you hit HELP, the DETECT AND REPAIR, it gives you 2 options. It I do the first option only, the problem is not fixed. If I were to select the 2nd option, it would delete ALL Outlook express folders, emails and contacts which I DO NOT want to do (i've done it before and took me weeks to replace all contacts). What is the easiest way to restore the custome settings for the Keyboard Shortcuts - and only the keyboard shortcuts? Thanks! |

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the "Typing
replaces selection" box | OK. Jeff Timmons wrote: For the past 2 weeks I've been having issues with the Microsoft Office programs. I am guessing somehow a new shortcut was added to my keyboard.

Thank you!
This worked perfectly! Why do you think the issue occured in the first place? ~JT "garfield-n-odie" wrote: In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the "Typing replaces selection" box | OK.
