Delete Key will not delete Selected Word

R

I recently had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall
the software. Now, for some unknown reason, Word will
not allow a selected word to be deleted using the delete
key. However, the delete key will delete one letter at a
time. And, the enter key or the backspace key will
delete the selection. I've checked all the options and
set up and can't find anything that relates. Does anyone
have a clue?
