I'm typing a report and whenever I backspace it erases a letter and then

Re: How do you get rid of the overstrike function?
Backspacing is supposed to delete letters backward (Delete deletes forward).
If you want to move backward through the text, use the Left Arrow key. Even disabling "Typing replaces selection" won't prevent Backspace from deleting backward; it will only prevent Backspace from deleting selected text. -- Suzanne S.
