how can I unlock automatic delete mechanism in word program?
while typing using Word, I encountered a problem. after typing, I went back,
and wanted to change a phrase; by inserting the cursor at the end of the phrase, I backspaced to erase the unwanted phrase. Now when I typed the new phrase, it simply is swallowing the text. So, I must have triggered a deleting mechanism. How can I resolve this? |

Turn overwrite / overtype off. If enabled, this is generally the function of
the "Insert" key on your keyboard.

You accidentally touched the "Insert" key while pressing Backspace.
