title: VBA code for deleting a word
body: <p>I keep a button on my ribbon for "delete word," a little, easy macro that I've been creating for years on each copy of Word. Now I have word 2013, and I did this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>CTRL-ALT-R, M (record a macro)</li>
  <li>Select "Button"</li>
  <li>Do all the right things to choose an itty bitty image &amp; put it on the ribbon, then click "okay"</li>
  <li>F8, F8 (to select the current word)</li>
  <li>Delete</li>
  <li>CTRL-ALT-R (stop recording the macro)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Simple, right? Then why does this blasted macro delete just a single character?</p>
