Unwanted Character Deletion When Revising
Occasionally, with every version of Microsoft Word (from Word 97 to Word
2003), while I am in the process of revising a document, suddenly characters I am typing begin replacing characters that I do not want to delete. This makes the document impossible to edit. I must be unintentionally hitting a key that makes this happen. Can someone help please?

Press the Insert key once to toggle from Overtype to Insert mode.

Unwanted Character Deletion When Revising
I find it all too easy to hit Insert when aiming for Backspace or Delete.

Unwanted Character Deletion When Revising
Oh my goodness thank you SO much, this thing used to drive me nuts and I had
no idea why it was doing it. What a design flaw putting the insert key so close to backspace AND delete keys!! "Suzanne S.
