I've pressed something that has set an automatic selection in place: when I
try to edit my exisiting text, everything up to and including the bit I want
to edit gets highlighted! Help me remove this please!

You accidentally pressed F8, the Extend Selection key. Press Escape (or
double-click EXT on the status bar) to turn it off.
