How do I insert text without deleting the rest of the paragraph?

[Guest]

In a paragraph in MS Word, I want to insert text without deleting the rest of
the paragraph. Right now my settings doesn't insert text, it types over and
deletes any character thereafter such as letters, spaces, and symbols. How do
I change this back to plain old inserting?

Press the Insert key once (or double-click the OVR indicator on the
status bar) to turn off Overtype mode.

You accidentally toggled the overwrite feature. OVR will be shown at the
foot of the screen. Press INS once to toggle it back.
