Word Confirm Delete (Word 2000)

I have a copy of Word 2000 that when I highlight some text and tap delete it requests that I confirm the deletion just like the old WordPerfect 5.

How the (expletive deleted) do I turn this off? It’s driving me nuts.

Select Tools | Options….
Activate the General tab.
Clear the “Navigation keys for WordPerfect users” check box (and “Help for WordPerfect users” as well, if applicable).
Click OK.

YES! That’s what I thought!

It does not work on this one machine. Think I’ll try a reinstall.

Many Thanks for your very quick reply. Wonderful place the Lounge

Before reinstalling, check if there is a macro named EditClear; this would overrule the built-in action of the Delete key.
