The Insert Key

Is there an add-inn that I need to install, or some other type of additional installation that I need to perform to make this work? Nothing additional, but you do need to check out a couple of configuration options. Easiest: Look in Tools Options Edit. If "Use the INS key for paste" is checked, clear it. Next: Go to Tools Customize and click the Keyboard button. Click "All Commands" in the Categories list, then click "Overtype" in the Commands list. If you don't see "Insert" in the Current Keys box, put the cursor in the Press New Shortcut Key box and press the Insert key. Click Assign before closing all dialogs. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Jay, I also am having this problem. The OVR in the bottom line being greyed out, and pressing the INSERT key, does nothing other than produce an audible "THUMP". I have checked both items you mentioned above, and still have the problem. I even "re-registered" the INSERT key. Now, here is the clue that I think that will make the solution clear to you, and then perhaps to me. This is only with a certain document that I received from someone else. Other documents that I have created, or from other people do not have this problem. Help ?? Chris |
