| microsoft word... from all the software thats the one i hate the most... simply i dont have time to know everything about it... so just of the sudden now when i select a text and hit the backspace button or type something on top of the selected text, it doesnt erase it. I just want to know if i put any option by mistake cause I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts in other programs (like winamp) so maybe i pushed any shortcut for my winamp and by mistake i activated this on word... Or if is a problem in general. Had happened in other pcs that i have but usually i dont even know how that fixes but eventually that dissapears... but now Im really curious... wtf is going on.  |

| Oddly enough my Mum had the same issue a few days ago when I was at home.

| No worries. Strange coincidence though. Probably one of those things that gets turned on and off by some stupid keyboard shortcut. |
