Default Overwriting selected text in word

Hi,

If you select a text and start typying, selected text is removed and the
first key you pressed is inserted to text. It is something, selecting text,
pressing backspace and start typing.

However my word, started not to do that. Instead, it starts typing before
the selected text. Does anyone knows how i can remove this functionality?

Also my ex document loses their formating???
