Hello

In Word and Outlook, sometimes the mode switches from
INSERT to OVERWRITE (the same as if pressing the Insert
key). Continuing to type then corrupts (overwrites) the
exisiting text on the screen, which is quite annoying.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance,
andoni
 
When that happens, you have most likely missed the backspace key and hit the
insert key. Just press the insert key one time to get out of overtype mode.
