Answer 1

if you accidently hit the insert button, your computer goes to overtype mode. to get rid of it go to Tools>Options click on the edit tab, deselect the checkmark next to overtype mode and hit ok

Answer 2

I'm twelve and I wrote a 7 page story and I left one little thing out went back to type it spaced it,it cut off a letter.Yes this is microsoft word.All I do is save the changes get off it and get back on it and open it up go back to type it and it works fine if it starts to do that later do the process again.My story was deleted by someone in my family so I had to start a new one.

Answer 3

Hit the insert key.

Word is n overright mode instead of auto-insert.

If the letters OVR are not grayed out at the bottom of the screen, you are in overright mode. (hitting insert shuts it off)

Answer 4

Drag your Ruler Margins Left or Right. Make sure they are at the end of the page. It should help.

Answer 5

Try pressing the insert button on your keyboard and then do the above senario, if it works you shouldn't have to do it every time.

Answer 6

you should also attempt clicking and preserving the left mouse button and highlighting the finished textual content you want to print, then hit print and %. "determination" on the print preview show screen. do not understand why that takes position yet this has worked for me previously.

Answer 7

Isn't that annoying? Your "Instert" button has been pressed. Just press it again to turn it off. It is to the right of your backspace button.

Answer 8

Tools - Options - Edit and untick overtype mode.

Answer 9

just hit the insert button next to the backspace

Answer 10

You need to press the 'insert' key to rectify this.
It's above the 'delete' key on your keyboard.
