Microsoft word problem!?

Question

Hey!

I am doing a text document on microsoft word, and i wanted to edit a sentence, but when i type over it it deletes the words next to it!

And i really am not going to type it all again1

I know there is a method to change this setting because i have seen it being done, but just forgot how to do it!

Any help please :D

Answer 1

Hah Hah I recall a very long time in the past never knew how to solve this problem. I used to CLOSE the Word file than open it again in the "hope" the problem disappears :)

Answer 2

the insert key on your keyboard turns the "overwrite" mode on and off. Pressing it once turns it on, pressing it again turns it off.  When overwrite mode is on, you'll notice a "OVR" displayed on the very bottom status bar.

Answer 3

there is an insert button on the upper right corner of ur pc keyboard.  Press it while you are in microsoft word.  And the setting should change.
