Using insert(overtype mode) with two documents
Unable to use the insert key on one document when two are open. The insert
key seems to tie itself to one document, even if the document you want to work on is on top the insert key will still toggle between insert and overtype on the bottom. |

That's because Insert mode is a Windows level setting.

What is a windows level setting?
And is there a way to fix it so that the insert mode works when multiple documents are open?

Using insert(overtype mode) with two documents
A Windows level setting is a setting applied by Windows universally. It is
not posible to have multiple documents open, some with Insert mode some with Overwrite mode. It is either one setting or the other for all. Word simply reports the current mode applied from Windows. In fact insert/overwrite is even older than Windows itself and operates at a hardware level irrespective of the operating system. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nate11 wrote: What is a windows level setting?
