Trouble deleting block in Word X

I hope this is the right place to put this.
I've used Word - and now Word X - for years. All of a sudden I am having trouble with the delete key not deleting a block of text.
Does anyone have any idea what has happened, and what I might do to restore the "delete block" function?
The delete key works fine, still, deleting one key at a time. But when I highlight a block of text and then hit "delete," all it does is flip me to the beginning of the highlighted text.
Word did quit on me unexpectedly yesterday and the preference for "insert typing" had been re-set. I wonder if this is another preference I need to change.
Thanks!

Thanks much, Tom.
In the words of Emily Litella, nevermind! I realized a few minutes ago that somehow the "Typing replaces selection" button had become unchecked. A quick check of it, and problem solved.

Speech to text feature deleting blocks after pause, what happened?

HTC Rezound
A week or two ago, my speech to text started to delete entire blocks of words, and start over in the beginning of a thought (spoken).
I have never had this problem and historically could speak to text an entire e-mail. I understand others with Google phones are seeing this lately as well.
I have tried to change settings, restart, pull battery/sim..etc... nothing fixes this issue.
I need to get details on how to correc this. It's a major problem as I use this often for work, but in current state its unusable.

I have, several times, as mentioned in the original message.
This seems to be a major problem for many people, seen below in this link. Its recent.
I need to know what the fix is. This is my work phone and its a major problem. Please help.

HT204053 my icloud id is not registered and having trouble deleting it from my ipad to replace with my original id. how can i delete my icloud if the system doesnt reconize it.

trouble deleting icloud account from IPad. The ID is not reconized and trouble resetting it.

Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Re: How do I delete blocked contacts appearing on ...

Urgent!!!! I hope this gets to Microsoft ASAP... My son who is a minor IS receiving these girlcam requests.... 2 of them so far and they are blocked and we deleted their chat history. They asked him for his credit card details of all things to verify his age. They say they are searching him on the members directory. They shouldn't be able to contact him at all if they are not on his contact list.
Please add age related restrictions to contact usage Microsoft and please fix the above issue of not being able to delete blocked contacts from the home screen. We cleared the chat history already.
Thanks.

Hi, Tazzajb, and welcome to the Community,
... and please fix the above issue of not being able to delete blocked contacts from the home screen.
This issue has been fixed; please ensure your son's Skype software is updated: Download Skype If your son is using v. 6.16, please post back to advise if he is still seeing the pictures or avatars of blocked contacts on his Skype Home window.
Thank you,
Elaine

How to delete unwanted microsoft word files...PLEASE!

I would love to know how to delete files in microsoft word that are saved under my documents. The only way I can delete a saved word documsnet is when it has ONLY been saved to the desktop, then I drag it to the trash. When it has been saved to my documents or on the harddrive anywhere, there is no way I can find to delete it. And since I want to clean up my word documents I need to delete the files I no longer use.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I know microsoft word is not an "apple software" but it did come on my mac, and when I had a PC (a compaq) it was easy to delete fiels I no longer used. So I thoguht the best way to get an answer for this would be to contact apple support.
Please someone answer, I have been trying to find this answer for months! Thanks!

Late post for the archives--another fix:
I'm guessing the problem is trying to use File | Open to bring up a window that shows files, and delete from there. This works in Windows, but not on the Mac (true for any program, not just Word).
On the Mac, you have to delete files from within the Finder (the equivalent of Windows Explorer). Go to the desktop and hit apple-N (cmd-N) to bring up a Finder window. Set it to Column View. Now you can browse to any location on your harddrive and drag a file to the trash.

Why i have to delete the Current word Text if i type wrong Previous word text in the sentence, my fingers are broad cannot accurately point the specific character, I am forced to delete current word text, its really making my mind to get rid of iPhone4.

Hold your finger on the word for a little time - after a second or so, a magnifying view appears showing the few letters around your finger, with a cursor. Roll your finger to move the cursor to just in front of the letter you want to fix. Then let your finger go. You can now backspace to delete and replace the incorrect letter.

Trouble deleting mail

Why am I having trouble deleting some email, especially from advertisers. Mail program tells me it cannot delete and then I have to force quit the program to get out of it.

I hate Lion. Why does the same mail have to into so many folders. Mail in "Important" deletes fine. Mail in Spam deletes fine, its only "All Mail" I have problem with. No matter how often I delete it and no matter how many I delete at a time, it always come back. I did what you suggested but it hasn't helped. THis morning all the mail was back again.
Any way I can ditch Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?

Trouble deleting songs off Music with new IOS7

Is anybody else having trouble deleting songs off their iPhone using ios7?

What sort of "troubles" are you having? It might be that the songs you're seeing are stored in the cloud and not on the phone
try Settings>Music and turn show all music off and see if you can delete after that

Trouble deleting content

Hello! I am having trouble deleting content off my internal drive. it is komplete ultimate which is a music production software and it has a ton of content on it that I just realized can be installed on my external drive instead. I am having trouble find the actual 180 gigs of "content" from my internal harddrive which was installed. any idea where I would start looking? I already looked under library. I deleted the actual application and it is still there installed as "other" in my storage. Any help would be appreciated thank you!

Ah thanks clinton!
I was able to locate the files. I am facing a related problem now I don't want to delete the 180 gigs but rather move them to my external hard drive. I have located them under the "shared" folder and can drag them to the external hard drive but when I do so it still shows in my actual music software that the file has been deleted. do you know a way to actually do this the right way with the path being directed to my external hard drive for the content? thanks! you have helped me a lot with computer questions!

Trouble deleting music off phone

I'm having trouble deleting music from my iPhone. When I downloaded the song and started to play it, it would skip completely or play and cut off and on, I want to know what I can do without having to plug up my phone to the computer to delete the song and repurchase it???? Help please!!
P.s match is off

If you're using iTunes match, until you update to iOS 6.1 you can't delete (or download) individual songs. All you could do is delete all the music from the phone by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete. You will then have to download the music you want on your phone again from iTunes Match.

Trouble Deleting

Hey
I am having trouble deleting files off my Network Storage Unit from western digital. When I delete a folder, it says that it's in use. It's not in use. If I delete a file within that folder, it's ok. But folders... it wont delete them because apparently it's in use. After a restart and a reboot... I can guarantee that the file is not in use.
Could it have something to do with the fact that the files that im trying to delete are from a MBP before it was formatted like permissions that were lost when formatting the laptop?
THanks, Grant.

Indeed...
I wasnt getting many responses with my previous question... No clue what going on here...
Is there a way to reset permissions without re formatting? I dont even know how to reset permissions on a network storage drive.
Thanks again K T

Trouble deleting music off Iphone

I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.

Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right. There is a box to the left of every song. If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone. To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it. When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right. When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

Hi sookeysox,
It sounds like you’re running into an issue deleting messages in Mail on your Mac mini. If you haven’t already, try adjusting the Mail preferences as suggested in the article linked below.

There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.
