My coworker will highlight text and instead of replacing it, when he starts typing the cursor deselects the text and moves to the front of the selection and starts typing. If he uses the delete key it will delete. If he uses the space key it will also move to the front of the selection and add a space.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Carol  8/23/2006 11:18 AM PST   Answer   Tools | Options | Edit | Typing replaces selection -- Carol A.
