[mso] Re: New text eats old text (Word setting?)


===================
        I've had a problem with word processing that has stumped me for years.
 Sometimes when I am editing/making corrections to something I've typed --
it can be in a Word document, in an internet dialog box, in something to be
posted to a bulletin board, and most recently, in an Outlook97 Note -- the
new text "eats" the existing text.  I'll place my cursor where I want to
make the corrections or additions, and as I type, the new letters erase and
replace what was already typed.  WHY???  How do I fix it?  Is there some
setting in Word that is causing this?
Thanks, Ess
===================

Yes. It is the "insert" setting.

Tap the "insert" key (usually next to the "delete" key). Depending on the
software, you may see it change an indicator on your page. The two possible
modes are "insert" and "overstrike".
