Hi.

Recently when I have been using word if I highlight a block of text and then start to type over it the original text is not deleted as would be expected and also if I highlight a block of text and press backspace the text does not delete.

I while back I was using VBA in word and accidetly wrote my code in a module in the 'Normal' file, and was wondering if I could have changed the settings somehow. I don't remember having done anything to change any settings but can not figure out to get the above properties to work again.

Any ideas on what I might have done or how to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Try checking Tools-Options select the edit tab
look for: Typing replaces selection make sure it's checked.
