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
.
