Your description sounds more like you are doing something to switch *out of*
Insert Mode rather than into it - are you pressing the Insert key by any
chance? That toggles Overtype mode on/off. It's particularly easy to do
accidentally if you're pressing the Del key before typing the replacement
text... Just select what you want to replace & start typing.

I am doing something when I type that causes Word to switch to the insert

happens when I am replacing a word that has been selected. Please help as
this is getting frustrating. Thank you very much.
