Hey all,

I was using Microsoft Word today and when i type a sentence, but want to edit the sentence later (fix up punctuation or add a space) the command overwrites the first letter of the following word.

E.g

Original text - Caufields mind set

When i try to add an apostrophe, i get this result:

Caufield's ind set
When i want the outcome to be
Caufield's mind set


Does anyone know how i can fix this?
Thanks

Yeah you have "overwrite" on.  You can press "insert" on the keyboard or look at the bottom of the window for the word "OVR" and keep on clicking it till it is disabled.
