Using a MBP with Microsoft Excel (Annoyed)

I love my MBP and use it a lot for Excel projects. My one beef is, as it pertains to the MBP, is that the delete key does not work like a delete key. When I want to clear a range in a workbook, I have to use the CLEAR menu choice.
Or I attach an external keyboard so I have a real delete key available.

So tell me, am I missing something? Is there a true delete key where I can cover something up and punch it to delete a range of info from a spreadsheet?

Thanks

 

Really ?? Cool

Thank you! I will check it out when I get home from work tonight.

Thanks
