What happens when you press the space bar or type other text? Does existing
text in front of the cursor get deleted?
If so... then you're in Overtype mode. Press the Insert key to toggle
Overtype off. There should be an indicator at the bottom of the Word window
in the status bar. You can also toggle Overtype on/off by clicking that
indicator. If you don't see it, then right click the status bar and choose
Overtype.

Hi. When I edit a Word doc and place the "blinking bar" in front of a line
of
text (on the left margin) why doesn't the space bar push the text forward?
If
I move the "blinking bar" after the first character in the line, the space
bar works. I have Word 2007 but it's the same in all versions of Word. Why
is
this? Is it possible to fix this so the space bar push text from the
beginning of the line? Thank you.
Jimmy
