Highlighting sentance to delete.

Hi, I have a problem with MS Word. Every time i highlight a sentance and type a letter to replace this sentance, the letter simply appears to the left of the sentance and has not deleted what i wanted it to. For example i want to replace the sentance 'i am sam' to 'nobody liked bill' i would end up with nobody liked billi am sam. Now i know i can just press the delete button every time, but its become such a reflex that i forget and its really annoying!

I'm sure its a really simple setting! Can someone help!?!?!

RE: Highlighting sentance to delete.

Hi Howard, Thanks for the post, to sort out your problem, go to Menu Command; Tools, Select Options, in the Options dialog box choose the Edit Tab and ensure that the Tic box Typing replaces selection is ticked. Hope that sorts it.

Thats brilliant! thanks so much!

Word tip:

Using the Find feature outside the Find dialogue box

To access the Find dialogue box, press the F5 key. Type in the word you want to find in the document - the first instance of this word in the document will be highlighted.

To find further occurences of the word in the document, you can actually Cancel out of the Find dialogue box.

Once you do this, the two double-arrow buttons at the bottom of the scroll bar on the right of your screen will have turned blue. You can use the double-arrow buttons to jump between instances of the word in the document.
