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

Seems like you are in "type over mode".  "Shift, alt plus letter I"
should turn it off and also on if you need it.

Subject: [mso] 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

.
