I have a complex workbook template and added have a coversheet that has an embeded word document that i created as a form. when i go to edit use it, the "backspace" key is disabled and the only way I can delete anything is by maually highlighting the section i want deleted and press the "delete" key. Is there a solution? it is an extremely simple solution i am sure. The weird thing is that when the form is used on it's own in MS word, it is fine, but doesn't function properly once i embed it into excel...any help would be awsome. thanks!
