Backspace not deleting paragraph number

Hi there, 

 

I can't delete the paragraph number with backspace. Does anybody know how to fix this?

 



The only way i can delete it is double clicking 3. and then delete. With backspace it won't let me. 

 

Anybody any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks

    Hmm, here I can delete a paragraph number when the option is activated

     

    I am not sure why it isn't working in your installation. 

     

    As a workaround, you can always re-apply an unnumbered style to text.

    Is the option to "Set left and first indent with tabs and backspaces" selected at File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type?
