Apparently I hit a wrong key upon occasion so that, from that point onward in
typing a document, the next letter I type in deletes the letter to its right.
Two questions: what causes that to happen and, when it does, how do I make
it stop?

Press the Insert key once to switch between overtype mode (what you are in
now) and insert mode.
