when i move my cursor back to a previous word and try to type, why does it replace what i have already typed?

Question

how do i disable this? i try to edit a character in a sentence, so i move my cursor to this place and click, when i type, it replaces whatever is in the next spot. aaahhhhhhhhhh, how do i disable this, I am using microsoft word on a PC. Thanks

Answer 1

It is the INSERT key on your keyboard...to the right of your DELETE button

Answer 2

maybe you have accidentally pressed the "insert" key. It activated the overwrite function of the software you are using.

Answer 3

hit the "insert key" on your keyboard. It will toggle between "replace" (overwrite) and "insert" (add in addition to)
