= SUMMARY =

To remove the highlight from text that is selected, press one of the arrow keys.

If you press the ENTER key after highlighting text within the Microsoft Works for MS-DOS Word Processor, the selected text is deleted and a paragraph mark is inserted at the beginning of the deleted text. If you press any other key, the highlighted text is deleted and that character is inserted.

These deletions occur only in Works version 2.0 and earlier. Works version 3.0 simply removes the highlight and inserts the character pressed at the beginning of the highlighted area.

To undo a text deletion, choose Undo from the Edit menu. This process can be done only if no editing action has taken place after you have deleted the text.
