    You've accidentally put your word processor into Overtype mode. Pressing the Insert key is the usual way of getting into this -- and the easiest way of getting out again.

    If you have Word 2007, here's a way to turn off the darned Insert key forever:

    1. Click the round Office button in the upper-left corner of the window.

    2. Click the Word Options button.

    3. Click the Advanced item on the left-hand pane.

    4. Uncheck the Use Insert Key To Control Overtype Mode checkbox.

    5. Click OK.

    Hope that helps.
