No - you use Ctrl+V to paste.

Way to use insert key to paste in Word 2007?
Yes, by clicking on Office Button | Word Options | Advanced | check the
"Use the Insert key for paste" box | OK. But turning on this option automatically turns off the "Use the Insert key to control overtype mode" option in the same dialog. So you need to decide whether it is more important to you to use the Insert key for pasting or for toggling between insert and overtype modes.

Way to use insert key to paste in Word 2007?
Thanks garfield--
Ctrl+V" to paste LOL I know, although in fairness, Jo Ann may have thought I didn't know the age old key combo for paste. But that was the first place I looked and while I did find the "Insert key to control overtype mode", I found ***no options whatsoever either connected with that or separate that had to do with "Insert key for paste". I also looked under the paste options and it wasn't there. I'm curious as to why I don't have the "insert key for paste option" (even checking the "insert key to control overtype mode". The reason I pitched this question not because I want to use it to paste (lol I got Ctrl+V), but because we got it on the Vista general group and I help an awful lot there. We try to refer them to the specific groups that can best help them with the most expertise, but many won't pay any attention and we get a number of Office, Outlook and Word broken not so much functionality questions and it's just faster to help them fix them on the spot.

Are you sure it isn't there? In the Advanced dialog, scroll down to the
second grouping "Cut, copy, and paste", and you should see five dropdown items and four checkbox items... this one is the second checkbox item.

Absolutely it's there--don't know how I missed it. I looked several times
and did miss it. Not too swift on my part. Thanks again. But I'm not sure I fully understand "insert" vs. "overtype mode" though. CH "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Way to use insert key to paste in Word 2007?
You won't notice that you're in Overtype mode as long as you're creating new
text, but if you start typing in the middle of existing text, what you type will overwrite the text to the right of it. Ordinarily the Insert key toggles between this and the normal Insert mode. If you assign the Insert key to the Paste command, you can still double-click OVR on the status bar to toggle between Insert and Overtype (or use the Options setting). -- Suzanne S.
