  Hi just wondering if anybody can help me regarding typing.

  Every time I type and hit a wrong key or incorrectly spell I can’t use backspace or delete. I have to undo and do it all over again.

  I tried to do a draft on Word and copy and paste over but this isn’t working either.

  If anybody can advise on a good typing experience on WordPress it will be much appreciated.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @clarkie71, sorry to hear it’s giving you trouble! I’m able to hit backspace and delete — honestly I can’t imagine not being able to do that.

  Can you clarify what’s happening when you do it? And also what’s happening when you paste from Word? We do have some tips for working from Microsoft Word here.

  Also, are you working on wordpress.com/post or https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/ , or wp-admin — or are you using an app? If you’ll send more information we can help you troubleshoot.

  Hi,

  Thanks for responding. When I type as normal like free typing making the odd mistake I can’t backspace or delete words.

  I tried doing draft on Word to copy and paste but that didn’t work either.

  I am not using the app at the moment but might try that and see if it makes any difference. If you have any other information on way round this it would be much appreciated.

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  Just clicked on the two links.

  The first one https://paulsgigography.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  I have had a look at it and it has never came up like that before for me.

  The second one https://wordpress.com/

  I think this might the be the interface I am using. I will try the first one and see if it makes any difference.

  Paul
