When I want to add a letter to a word which I have already typed, it deletes the letter next to it. Is there any other way to stop this other than restarting the computer?

Hit the INSERT key on the keyboard, between the letters and keypad on a desktop keyboard, may be a FN key option on a laptop
Once it's hit the OVR label on bottom bar of window will dissapear

Press insert button on your keyboard ;)
When you do this you'll see a little icon in the bottom of the MS Word going gray.
Whenever you see this icon lit that means that the type-over setting is turned on. For you to turn it off just press Insert button. It's above the arrow keys ;)

You have pressed your 'Insert key' just above the delete key. this can happen if you reach for the back space key. Just click on it and that should fix the problem. I do it all the time, when I am concentrating and not looking at the key board.
If not then go to this site.

Yes. There is this button on the very bottom bar in word and it says "ovr". click on it and you will resume without the annoying deleting the letter next to it
