Solve : MS Word quirk?

Answer»

Every time I go into MS word, the settings get changed back into overtype mode, this isn't a major problem as by know I've relized what's going on, and I have almost become accustomed to fixing it every time I launch MS word, but what could be causing it to do this???
I'm baffled.
oh yeh, Microsoft word 2003Pressing INSERT causes that.thanks ALOT, I guess I press it when I HIT backspace MAYBE?
its been driving me nuts, so thanks for the tip!You can also TOGGLE the Overtype mode by double clicking on OVR on Word's status BAR, the bar at the bottom of the Word window. Quote

It seems to happen at random until you figure out what causes it.  You can disable the insert key.  Tools-->Customise-->Keyboard.  Under categories, click "All commands".  Find "overtype" in the commands list.  Under current keys, click on "insert" then click the remove button.  Close; close.
