Checking in Tools>Customise was a good suggestion. I noticed that under
the Keyboard tag there was no actio associated with the Delete key, yet
when I changed the radio button on the right from Writer to
OpenOffice.org the Delete key is associated with .uno:ClearContents.
This might explain why it functions normally even in Calc, Base, Impress
& Draw. Does anyone know how to assign this function to this key as I
was unable to find in the Categories listed below it.
Thanks

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
