Replacing text, instead of replacing, text inserts alongside word

[Guest]

I used to highlight text and then type in a word which would replace the
highlighted text. Something has changed in formatting, (I have kids) and now
when I highlight the word and type, the word is inserted alongside the
highlighted word. What would control that or cause that to happen?

Hi Margaret-

Take a look at Tools>Options>Edit where you will most likely find that there
is no check in the box for Typing Replaces Selection. Restore the check, OK,
and all should be well again.
