How to disable overwrite mode?
Does anyone know how to disable overwrite mode?
My friend says she seems to accidentally hit a key (or combination of keys) with her right hand, and suddenly the mode is OVR. The Insert key toggle has been disabled, anything else? |

How to disable overwrite mode?
She can either double-click OVR or press the Insert key once (which is how

Clear "Overtype mode"? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Nigel Molesworth" wrote in message ... On Sat, 16 Feb 2008 08:58:16 -0600, "Suzanne S.
