Why is Word involuntarily switching to the insert mode?
Your description sounds more like you are doing something to switch *out of*
Insert Mode rather than into it - are you pressing the Insert key by any chance? That toggles Overtype mode on/off. It's particularly easy to do accidentally if you're pressing the Del key before typing the replacement text... Just select what you want to replace & start typing.

Then, more typing causes already typed words to disappear. This only happens when I am replacing a word that has been selected. Please help as this is getting frustrating. Thank you very much. |
