P Pat Garard Jun 12, 2004 #2 G'Day Dave, The action you describe is "Overtype Mode". Be Clear! To insert text in Word, navigate to the insertion point and (NO DO NOT HIT THE "Insert" KEY) simply type........ Using the "Insert" key toggles between "Insert" and "Overtype" Modes. -- Regards, Pat Garard Australia ______________________________________
