When I put in a sentence that I want to delete, then if I put my cursor at the end of the sentence and press ctl backspace, then I can delete each word as needed. On the other hand, if I put the cursor at the beginning of a sentence and press ctl delete, nothing happens. Why? Is it your software, or something that I need to fix?

Never used either, but maybe our PC Supermod will chime in. :)

I have use the CLT backspace... but never knew the other one worked. It does work in other Internet Exporer windows... so I am not sure... will look into it

Nope, it looks like IE doesn't use the shortcut (at least my version doesn't like it). It isn't one I was familiar with- so thanks for the tip! :)

Mozilla based browsers (including Netscape) utilize it, though. What can I say... if Microsoft doesn't care enough to patch their MAJOR security holes, I don't think familiar keyboard shortcuts are high on their list either. :D
