I am typing my term paper. Everytime I go back to edit, or change a
word, the new text I type writes over the old text I already had
written. This is very bad, because I cannot change anything, without
having to write the whol sentence, or paragraph, over. There must be
a setting somewhere I can change. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Do ONE of the following:
- Press the Insert key.
- Double-click the letters OVR on the status bar.
- In Tools Options Edit, uncheck "Overtype mode".

They are all equivalent.
