Default How do I insert text without deleting the rest of the paragraph?

Press the Insert key once (or double-click the OVR indicator on the
status bar) to turn off Overtype mode.

In a paragraph in MS Word, I want to insert text without deleting

the rest of
the paragraph. Right now my settings doesn't insert text, it types

over and
deletes any character thereafter such as letters, spaces, and

symbols. How do
I change this back to plain old inserting?
