I am writing a paper for school. When I started out I could go back to the
middle of a sentance and add another word or erase a word without altering
the rest of the text. Now when I try to add a word or correct a word, the
rest of the sentance is replaced with the new text. How do I get it to go
back to the way it was when I started?

Press the Insert key (again, since that's how you got into overtype
mode in the first place).
