How can I make it so when I type on microsoft word....?

Question

Everytime I am typing and want to go back and change the words, the words get "eaten up" as I type, and have to retype everthing over again. People know what im talking about but its hard to explain.

Answer 1

Press the "Insert" key. This will toggle the insert mode.

Answer 2

Look at your keyboard, where the numbers are off to the right side. Look at the O (zero) it has INS (insert) on it. Push Num Lock to turn it off. Then push the zero. Chow

Answer 3

Try hitting the "insert" key, or if you highlight what you want to change I think that keeps it from overtyping the rest of your sentence.
