When this occurs, look down at your Status Bar and you will see OVR
highlighted. If you double-click on OVR it will turn off the overtype
feature.

Hello helpful people, I have a problem that occurs on occassion. When
I go back to insert a correction in a word in my text ,the next letter
I type takes out the next letter infront of it so that I end up having
to retype all the following letters. It is an image of the early game
Pack Man gobbling the next letter, with each letter I type I lose one
letter ahead. This quirk usually starts after I have been using word
for a paprgraph or two. What's going on? Have I described the problem
in an understandable fashion? Best regrds,Roblites
