Default What is "delete" key for MS Word on Chromebook?

Using a Chromebook (newest version, HP), which has no Delete key. Suggestion is to use Alt + Backspace to delete characters to right of cursor. It works for me in some environments, including Word Online, but not in MS Word installed locally. I've tried numerous combos with the Backspace key, but nothing works. Very frustrating. Has anyone found the combination to emulate a pc's delete key in Chromebook, if there is one? Thanks.

To delete the selection, you should be able to press the Backspace key.
