When I highlight a word in and hit the Backspace key it will not delete the
word, this is only in outlook and word , however I can delete using the
backspace key using one key stroke at a time.

In Tools > Options > Edit, check "Typing replaces selection". (In Word 2007
this option is at Office button > Word Options > Advanced.)
