Very simple, very aggrivating MS Word Problem! A quickie to solve!
Somehow on Word I've managed to change the option of overwriting
highlighted text. I like highlighting sections of text i want to edit, and then retyping over the top. Before, this used to erase the highlighted text, and put the new text in its place. But somehow i have changed an option, so now it doesnt erase the highlighted text when i start typing, simply adds to it!! I can't get used to it, and its very annoying. I've been trawling the help and options for the fix to this (which is obviously very simple) but I just cant find it! Please someone tell me where the option is so I can finish my dissertation without pulling all my hair out!! Cheers all Happy New Year Phil Hiett |

You can keep your hair; just go to ...
Tools Options Edit tab, and check "Typing Replaces Selection". -- Enjoy, Tony "phil.hiett" wrote in message ... Somehow on Word I've managed to change the option of overwriting highlighted text.
