I have the very odd problem that I cannot get rid of.

I am using Word 2003 and for some reason, I am not able to highlight
a word or phrase and type over it. If I highlight a word to change
it, Word inserts what I type and deselects the text I originally
highlighted.
I cannot figure out what I changed to make this happen.

Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean.
