You can delete either a single character from the active document or a selected text fragment.

To delete a single character, use one of the following methods:

• Place the blinking cursor immediately before the character that you want to delete, then press the Del key or click the Delete button of the Edit toolbar .
• Place the blinking cursor immediately after the character that you want to delete, then press the Backspace key.

To delete a text fragment, select it, then press the Del key or click the Delete button of the Edit toolbar .

If the document selection contains only entirely selected table cells or rows, pressing the Del key or clicking the Delete button of the Edit toolbar clears the selected cells/rows but does not delete the cells/rows. To entirely remove the selected cells or rows from the document, press the Backspace key.
