Why won't my backspace key delete a word while I'm in MS WORD?

I was working in Word today, when suddenly my backspace key would not enable
me to delete a selected word. The back space key does work in this
field--just not in Word.

Any thought

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Edit | check the "Typing replaces
selection" box | OK.
