Yes, you can stop Word from deleting your text when you type in front of it. This issue is caused by the "Overtype" mode in Word, which replaces the text in front of the cursor as you type. Here's how to turn it off:

1. Open your Word document.
2. Look for the "OVR" button on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. It should be next to the page number and word count.
3. Click on the "OVR" button to turn off Overtype mode. The button should no longer be highlighted.
4. Alternatively, you can also turn off Overtype mode by pressing the "Insert" key on your keyboard. Press it once to turn it off, and again to turn it back on.

Once Overtype mode is turned off, you should be able to type in front of your text without it being deleted. If you still have issues, try restarting Word or your computer to see if that helps.
