After typing an document on microsoft word, I found that i left out a word:

example: "my dog named coaco." i wanted to add "was" between "dog" and

"named", so i put the cursor between the two words and typed "was",. the

problem is that as i typed "was", the n-a-m of the word"named was replaced. I

want to be able to push the space bar before a word to scoot it over but it

just deletes the word one letter at atim like backspacing starting at the

front of the word.

    • You're in Overtype mode. Press the Insert key to get out of it.

      When you're in Overtype mode, the letters OVR in the status bar

      (bottom of the window) are black; normally they're gray. The Insert

      key toggles it on and off (and so does double-clicking the OVR

      letters).
