How do you stop the mouse from inexplicably highlighting all the text from the point at which the cursor is placed to the end of the document?

If what you're seeing is the entire word being highlighted when you click & drag on a single letter, what you're seeing is Word's default setting to select the entire word when you select part of a word. You can turn this off by deselecting the option in the Options dialog, the Edit tab.
If you're seeing something else, please describe the problem better, either by modifying the question or by explaining the problem in detail by editing this answer, and one of us FAQ Farmers will change this answer to suit the problem.
You may also want to look at WordTips, at the link attached to this FAQ. Note that a search for "highlight," though, will give you more items describing Word's actual highlighting feature, which gives one or more characters a colored background, much like using a highlighter pen.
It sounds like a sticky shift key to me-are you frequently getting stuck in all caps as well? if you are then you'll just have to hit the shift key again to get it un-stuck until you get the key fixed!

What is over typing?
Normally, when you edit a document, each time you type a letter, it's placed to the left of the cursor, which moves one space to the right, and any text that already exists is shuffled right. With overtyping, the existing text stays where it is, and each new letter you type simply replaces the existing text.
