May I ask if you are working in a virtual environment (ie. using VMWare or Parallels on a Mac)? I have encountered this before, as well, but a colleague of mine working in a non-VM environment has not experienced this issue. So, just to ensure you and I are on the same page, let's say you've inserted a shape onto a slide. When you want to delete it, are you selecting it and hitting the Delete key? Or, do you have to select it, right click, and then choose Cut to remove it?
I am working on a virtual machine. Since I am working on a Mac, it looks like I needed to hit FN and delete. I guess this is because the Mac doesn't have a "backspace" key.

Thanks for your reply though.
Hi Colin
I work on a Mac through Parallels and yes you need to hit Fn Delete to delete elements from SL.
Mystery solved, Colin and Wendy! :) Thanks for the updates.
