Default Unwanted Character Deletion When Revising

I find it all too easy to hit Insert when aiming for Backspace or Delete.

Press the Insert key once to toggle from Overtype to Insert mode.

Occasionally, with every version of Microsoft Word (from Word 97 to
Word
2003), while I am in the process of revising a document, suddenly
characters
I am typing begin replacing characters that I do not want to delete.
This
makes the document impossible to edit. I must be unintentionally
hitting a
key that makes this happen. Can someone help please?
