Default Inserting a word or letter deletes letters to the right.

In WORD when needing to insert a letter into a word causes the next letter or
space to the right of the insertion to be deleted. This results in needing
for every thing after the insertion to be retyped to the end of the document.
This started to best of my knowledge without my selecting this as an option.
I can not find how to deactivate it.

This has also happened in Outlook Express on occasion.

Press the Insert key once to toggle off Overtype mode.
