Default Why isn't the selected text replaced when I start typing?

When I select text and and start typing, the selected text is not replaced
and remains as it was after what I typed. This also happens when I paste.
This only happens with Microsoft Word. (I have Word 2003.) How can you stop
this from happening?

Tools | Options... and on the Edit tab ensure that 'Typing replaces
selection' is selected.
