Default Composing Problem...

I'm not sure how to explain this .. when trying to compose or reply e
mails.. if I use back space to change something, it makes the words &
letters ahead of the blinking curser disappear.. so that I have to start the
letter all over in order to correct anything .. anyone have any ideas or a
fix please ? Thx, Katt

Default Composing Problem...

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.

OK. But have you taped the Insert key and tested to see if the problem
persists? It toggles between a /normal/ mode and deleting characters in
front of the ones you type in.

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.
