How do I disable the Insert Key / Overtype function in Word?
I tend to accidentally toggle Insert when reaching for the Home or Delete
keys. How can I *disable* the Insert/Overwrite feature in Word so that it doesn't turn on OVR every time I hit the key? Please do not suggest purchasing an Office keyboard--I must use what my company provides. I really need a software fix to disable the key. |
