Using the spacebar is deleting my text in Word instead of adding.

Previously when I wanted to insert some extra spaces between words, I used
the spacebar. Now all of a sudden when I press the spacebar inbetween two
words it deletes the next character to the right, if I press it 5 times, 5
characters are deleted.

Add to this, you can see whether you're in insert or
overwrite mode by looking at the status bar at the bottom.
Look for the letters "OVR" = overwrite. If it's greyed
out, you're in insert mode. If it's in black, you're in
overwrite mode.
