Correcting text in Word 2003

W

Wideangle

When I make a correction in test in Word 2003, the program erases the
existing text as I type, which causes me to rewrite the whole paragraph.

This is a new development, happening right after I installed a new version
of Photoshop Elements.

How can I get back to being able to insert my correction?

Press the Insert key on your keyboard.

(It's easy to touch accidentally since it's usually right next to
Delete and Backspace.)

Tools | Options... On the Edit tab ensure that the 'Overtype mode' checkbox
is not selected.
