Answer:
To delete one word to the right press CTRL+DEL.
Both the Del or Delete key and Backspace key are used to delete text. However, when dealing with text, pressing the del key deletes text to the right of the cursor and pressing the Backspace key deletes text to the left (backwards) of the cursor.
If not, here's a quick way to duplicate the forward delete functionality on a Mac laptop. It's really simple: find the function key (it is abbreviated as fn) on the bottom left side of the keyboard. Hold down function and hit the delete key (fn+delete).
In Microsoft Word this is accomplished by pressing, often accidentally, the INS (Insert) key. This key is very close to the backspace key on a standard keyboard. The current status of the Overtype mode is indicated by the letters OVR on Word's Status Bar. Overtype mode is off.
