Delete Block & Home problems

I used to Block text, hit Delete, and it was gone. Now I
get a little message on the left end of the Statue Bar
that says "Delete Block No(Yes)"-- how do I get back to a
simple one-step delete?? (It works OK in other programs,
just not Word).

Also, when in mid-page in Word, I used to hit "Home" and
the cursor immediately jumped to the beginning of the
line. Now it does nothing until I hit the left arrow too
(after)-- then it jumps to the beginning. "End" works
fine. Again, how to get back to one step??

Thanks in advance for any "HELP"........

Hi, Ents,

Go to Tools > Options > General and uncheck both options that mention
WordPerfect.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/UnableToDeleteText.htm.

Answered in another newsgroup. Has to do with the options for Word Perfect
navigation / help.
