highlighting and overtyping bug?

B

Ben

I have noticed that when I highlight a word or sentence in word 2003 SP2
(and all hotfixes) that when I type the word or sentence does not delete.
Word used to delete the word and replace it with the word I was typing is
this a bug or a misconfiguration?

Thanks,

Misconfiguration.

Go to Tools > Options > Edit and check "Typing replaces selection".

Thank you. I have no idea how it got that way. I am just happy to have to
set again.

Thanks again,
