Hi Margaret-

Take a look at ToolsOptionsEdit where you will most likely find that there
is no check in the box for Typing Replaces Selection. Restore the check, OK,
and all should be well again.

I used to highlight text and then type in a word which would replace the
highlighted text. Something has changed in formatting, (I have kids) and now
when I highlight the word and type, the word is inserted alongside the
highlighted word. What would control that or cause that to happen?
