If you are using Microsoft Word you might want to disallow computer to be erasing letters while you write.

You can turn on/off this feature just by pressing Insert(ins) key on your computer.

Then in Microsoft Word have a look at the very bottom toolbar. Approximately in the middle (from the leftside) you have three three capital letter abbreviations: REC, TRK EXT, OVR

You are interested in OVR since it stands for Overwrite. When you press insert key OVR is either black or gray. That means that it is on (erases the next letter) or off (it just pushes all the text in a front of the cursor, not deleting it).

What does insert mean on a computer?

The insert key on the computer allows the user to insert text into the same "cell" or "box" of the text in question. For example: I have five letters in five boxes, a b c d e The insert key, when my cursor is in front of the 'a' allows me to replace the letter 'a' with any other key on the keyboard. So If I press the letter q, the five letters would look like this: q b c d e And if I continue typing it will overwrite the rest of the letters. q w e r t... And so on. Very useful if you're tired of using the backspace key when just changing one letter in a text field.
