Office 2000 Basics
Delete and Insert Text
Backspace and Delete keys
You can use the Backspace and Delete keys to erase text in your document.
- The Backspace key will erase the text to the left of the insertion point one character at a time.
- The Delete key (located under the insert key) will erase the text to the right of the insertion point.
Keep in mind that when text is selected, pressing any key will delete it. The Undo button often comes in handy for this common mistake!
