I'm not seeing "Delete" only "Cut", and it is grayed-out and non-functional.

BTW, I tried using section breaks rather than my original page breaks, and it achieved nothing, and since this document is time-sensitive, I'm running of time...I may just save as text, paste into a fresh .docx document and spend a few hours formatting it using the original as a guide...very frustrating for someone who is not a Word expert, and wish the application offered a "dummies" mode...99% of features I will never use, like for legal and scientific uses, just to cite a couple.

I appreciate the tip to stay with 2010 rather than going to Office 2016...I had read that 2016 would be needed for 64-bit Windows 10, but didn't save the link, and it might have been mis-information. I'll try the 2010 version first when the new machine arrives.
