Typing Replaces Selection

I am having a problem with this option (Tools > Options > Edit > Typing
replaces selection). My preference is that it remains checked. However, it
will not stay checked. It turns off on its own. It's frustrating because I
have to reselect the option several times each day.

Does anyone out there know how to lock this option? I could not locate it in
the registry.
 
If Options settings are not being saved, it may be that you need to rebuild
the Word Data key in the Registry; see

Another possibility, however, is that an add-in is changing the settings,
and the only way around this may be to remove the add-in (or contact the
author about updating it).
