Press the Insert key on your keyboard once to switch between Overtype
mode (what you are in now) and Insert mode.

You've accidentally gotten into Overtype editing mode. If your version of
Word is something prior to 2007, look at the Status Bar & you'll see the
letters OVR in black. Double-click in that little box to return to Insert
mode. You can also press the Insert key to toggle OVR on/off (which is how
you probably triggered it in the first place:-))
