Where’d My Insert Key Go?
Do you find the use of the delete and backspace keys tiresome when editing a Word 2007 document? In the past, typing over old text was as simple as using the insert key. With Word 2007, this option must be turned on manually. Here’s how:

1. With Word 2007 open, select the Office button and choose, ‘Word Options’.
2. Select, ‘Advanced,’ and then check the box marked, ‘Use Insert Key to Control’ Overtype Mode. Note: you can turn on overtype mode permanently by checking the Use Overtype Mode directly below this feature.
3. Select, ‘OK’ to apply changes. Overtype mode is now easily activated by simply using your insert key.
