Highlighting a phase and replace them while typing
Hi,
By default, when I click and drag to highlight a phase of words, when I type something again, it will automatically delete the phase of words I highlighted and replace with the words I typed. But, not sure what I did, not doing the same, it will not replace the words but instead insert the words I typed. Even when I trigger the over-write command, it just over-write the first letter, and unhighlight the rest of the phase leaving it untouched. Can anyone advise me on how to resume it back to the default style, cuz I have also attempt to re-install the words, but the same situation occurs. Gonzen |
