I used to be able to highlight words adn type over them and the old ones
would be deleted. Now they just stay there. My kid was in my office
pressing some buttons before this happened, what do need to do to get it back
to naormal?
 
In the Tools-Options Edit tab, uncheck "When selecting, automatically select
entire word." That should get you back to "naormal."
 
Tools | Options | Edit: Typing replaces selection.
