That's what the backspace key is supposed to do. It moves back a space
and deletes the character there.

If you want to move the cursor without erasing things, you use the
cursor keys.

Hello & Ty for the reply I'm new to this & a bit lost .. I don't tap
the
insert key, when I'm composing letters or replying to emails in
Outlook 6
when I tap the Back Space key to fix something or change it.. the
letters/
words in front, of the blinking cursor disappear.

Tap the Insert key once. Is that what the problem was?

ideas or a
fix please ? Thx, Katt
