It's possible, I suppose that the key has somehow become disassociated
with the usual action.
There is a "Delete contents" command in the Edit category of Tools
>Customise but I don't know whether that is the equivalent of the
normal action.
You could check in Tools >Customise to see whether the key has become
associated somehow with some other action. The default action is not
shown so, if nothing is expressly associated, that's the default position.
Otherwise, I know it seems drastic but, if you have little in the way of
personal settings, you could try renaming your user folder (while the
software is closed) and see whether you then regain the use of the key.

Hi,
No the Del key itself doesn't seem to be the problem. Im using a laptop
so the keyboard is attached, and the key works fine with any other
program such as notepad, Thunderbird, even MS Works. Just with Writer
have I seen this problem. Would it be a problem with my version of OOffice?

Does this happen when you are in other programs such as notepad? Have you
tried other keyboards? Try unplugging and and replugging it in.

Subject: [users] Del Key Not Working in OpenOffice Writer
Hi,
I am using version 2.0 of OpenOffice.org. I am finding that when I use
Writer it will not allow me to use the Del key. When I press it nothing
happens, and I have to move the cursor forward a space and use Backspace.
Have you heard of this problem before, or have any idea how to fix it?
Many thanks
Dermot
