Hi all,

Ever since I had MS Office 03, when ever I am typing lots, when I come to edit what i've written, eg. I'm going to add one more word on a sentece, it will start to over - type or replace what I've written with that when it should just go in where I put it.

The more I type between already written text, the more of it goes when it should stay there.

Please help, thx in advace. thumbup.gif

Hi you have probably hit the "Insert" Key by mistake.
This toggles between "insert! and "overtype"
Try opening a Word document....... type some words, attempt to alter (edit) them and if you hit a problem with characters disappearing then press the "Insert" Key once and then try to edit, see how you go
