Try hitting insert on your keyboard or you can turn overtype mode off

Overtype mode is abbreviated by OVR at the bottom of the word window if you see OVR lighted up double click it and make it not lighted up LOL

Press the Ins key on your keyboard (usually at the top of the number pad on a keyboard) (stands for Insert but actually means Overwrite)

This should stop it. When you press it look along the bottom of your application and you should see the words OVR toggle on an off - if you can see them it will overwrite if you can't it won't

Press shift (the button under enter and beside ?) and hold it down while pressing the 0 on the right of your keyboard. Taht should do the trick.

But make sure the Num Lock is turned ON. You can turn it on and off by pressing the num lock button. It is on whn the light under/above the number is turned on.
