Backspace key not functioning correctly

    Hey all,

    I have keyboard here and the backspace key is not working correctly.

    When I have a cursor next to some text it will delete just fine but when I select a section of text and try to delete the result is the same as hitting the left arrow key.

    Anybody know how to fix this or even what I am talking about?

    Cheers,
    j

    This happens system wide does it ?

    Not sure really myself some easy attempts to fix it without knowing the cause would be if this is a USB keyboard unplug it and plug into another USB port and Windows should re-install the driver.

    Double check the regional & language options maybe ?

    Hey 8T8,

    I changed the keyboard yesterday and the problem is still there.

    I also should have said that this was happening in office 2003 only, apologies for the omission.

    Ah!

    In Word I went to Tools, Options, Edit Tab and checked the Typing Replaces Text text box.

    Cheers,
