MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2008How to disable overwrite mode?
Does anyone know how to disable overwrite mode? My friend says she seems to accidentally hit a key (or combination of keys) with her right hand, and suddenly the mode is OVR. The Insert key toggle has been disabled, anything else? She can either double-click OVR or press the Insert key once (which is how she got into overtype mode).  SignatureSuzanne S.

But as I said, the Insert toggle has been disabled. And double-clicking OVR doesn't work? How about Tools | Options | Edit: Clear "Overtype mode"? SignatureSuzanne S.

But disabling the Insert key won't disable double-clicking OVR to toggle Overtype/Insert mode in the Status bar. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
