problem with ms word

just wondering if anyone could help me with a minor, but yet very annoying problem that i have with my copy of ms word at home.
you see if i want to delete a whole word paragrapgh, etc; the standard routine would be to highlight the word/sentance or paragraph i wish to get rid of and press either backspace or the delete key.
however there is no reaction whatsoever when i do this.though significantly if i press the delete key on my keyboard, at the end of the screen is delete block: no(yes)
indeed a small cursor seems to be flashing yet there is no reaction whatsoever if i click a mouse, etc: please someone if you could gladly tell me how to remove this delete block i would be extremely grateful. strangely, it is just microsoft word this occurs in and no other program on my MSoffice package like,pp, excel, etc.
ps, also adding it is just of late that it has occured.

go raibh maith agat.
