microsoft word?

Question

you know when you are typing an essay or something on microsoft word and then you go back in the essay and try to fix something but it types over what you already have written? how do you get rid of that?

Answer 1

Press your "insert" button!

Answer 2

Sounds as if you’re in Overtype Mode. Is there an “OVR” on the bottom line of the window?

To fix it for a single file, press the Insert key once.

If this happens every time you open a document, your Options are probably set to start in Overtype mode. Here's how you can fix that:

1. Click on the Tools->Options menu item.
2. Click on the Edit page.
3. Under Editing Options, make sure the Overtype Mode checkbox is clear.
4. Click OK.
