i need to know whether there is a way to delete words from notepad without deleting the space it took?
EX- lets say " i am a boy"

i need to delete "i am" straight away like selecting the unwanted text and pressing backspace once.. but when i backspace it automatically gets deleted and it says

"a boy"
i need it to be like " ______ a boy" (___ are free spaces)
is there any direct method to do that without pressing space until it return to the original position? thanx.
