When I select text with my mouse, the selection moves along instead of
replacing with new text. I have to delete the selection first and then type.
Is there a problem with my mouse?
 
If you mean with MS Word, try this.

MS Word | Tools | Options | Edit tab | Check: Typing replaces selection

Typing replaces selection
[[Deletes selected text as soon as you start typing. If you clear this check
box, Word inserts the text you type in front of selected text but does not
delete the selected text.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Try pushing the insert key on your keyboard (its above arrows with delete and
page up and down buttons)
