You must identify your version of Word. I only know that you do not
have Word2007 (because you speak of normal.dot).
But somewhere in the set of Options, there is one that says something
like "Allow typing to replace selected text."

Kindly guide me more clarifications about the tool-option menu.

But pressing _any_ key while text is selected will delete the selected
text -- rather, it will replace the selected text with what you type.
You do not need to select text to apply a paragraph style; simply
place the cursor in the paragraph.
If you do not want typing to replace selected text, then uncheck the
Option to do so, which you will find on the Tools Options menu.
