Microsoft Word Question....backspace button?

Question

my backspace button works when i use it normally in microsoft word, but if i highlight something and then click backspace, nothing happens.
i can highlight things in other programs and the button works then, so i think its something with microsoft word.
Is there a setting i may have changed by accident. How do i fix it??
