HOW TO TYPOVER IN WORD 2010

[Jamaican Teacher]

How do you tun on type over in office 2010

 

[Terry Farrell]

I'm guessing that somehow the option 'Typing replaces selected text' has
been turned off. This option is normally selected.

Word Options, Advanced tab, first option under Edit (Alt+F, I, A).

Alternatively, you may mean that you want to use OverType mode? Again, as in
previous versions, you double-click 'OVERTYPE' in the Status Bar. But as in
Word 2007, this option is not on by default, so you need to right-click in
the Status Bar and choose the Overtype option for the option to appear.

And, unless you have disabled it, the Insert key on the keyboard toggles
Overtype mode on and off.

That is definitely disabled by default in Word 2010 and I thought it was
disabled in Word 2007 too?

[Again, the option is in the same location as' Typing replaces text'.]

It is certainly not disabled in my setup. The only way I know of to disable
it is to choose "Use Insert key for paste" or to go through Customize and
unassign it. I would definitely not want it disabled.

Then it is a change. In Word (2010) Options, Advanced tab under the EDIT
grouping it says 'Use Insert key to control Overtype mode'. This is
unchecked by default.

The Insert Key for Paste is gone and there another option beneath the above
to turn on Overtype mode (permanently).

Terry, now that you've mentioned it, I see the same thing. I think you
should file it in Connect as a bug, which I'll support -- although I'd bet
it'll be closed with "as designed". :-(

Just what we need, another FAQ.

I see the same thing in Word 2007, but "Use Insert key to control Overtype
mode" is checked in my copy, and I have no memory of having changed that
setting.

I'm moving this to the beta NG - for obvious reasons.

It's a newsgroup restricted to testers of the Office 2010 Technical Preview.
A prerequisite is signing a non-disclosure agreement. Although we've been
given permission to talk/write/blog about 2010 features that have been
publically disclosed by Microsoft, we really shouldn't be discussing bugs
here.
