How do I stop automatic deleting when i go back to edit?
I'm writing out a long outline very much in draft form, and when I go back to
edit or change anything Word is automatically deleting each character that follows. For example, when I go back to to put a space before "the sky is blue" the quotation mark is deleted by the space and if I try to replace the letter "t" is also deleted and so on. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks! |

Hi,
Press the Ins key to switch from overwrite mode to insert mode. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz "katem" wrote: I'm writing out a long outline very much in draft form, and when I go back to edit or change anything Word is automatically deleting each character that follows.

You've managed to get into OverType mode -- most likely by accidentally
pressing the Insert key if using a version other than 2007 [version info is always helpful]. Press Insert again or dbl-click the black OVR characters in the Status Bar. In 2007 see if the word Overtype appears in the Status Bar [Window Frame]... if it does, click it. You may also want to right-click the Status Bar & select the feature to turn it off. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "katem" wrote in message ...
