The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a,
2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
An attempt to use the BACKSPACE or DEL key to move left sometimes may
not be allowed. This problem can be caused by one of the following:
- There may be hidden text between the insertion point and the text
to be erased. Select the Show Hidden Text option under Preferences
on the Edit menu and try again to move.
- The insertion point is at the very beginning of a paragraph, and
the preceding paragraph is formatted differently. Because paragraph
formats are stored in the paragraph mark (carriage return) at the
end of the paragraph, deleting the paragraph mark from the previous
paragraph would cause that paragraph to take on the formatting of
the paragraph the insertion point is in.
