How to disable OverType feature on Keyboard

Can anyone help me please.

I must have hit something on my keyboard by mistake to cause it to go into the Overtype mode.

I cannot use the tab key or the directional arrows in Microsoft Works Word Processor without everything I typed starts disappearing.

I don't know if this problem is connected to the insert key also.

I tried to go to the tools - options - customize keyboard but cannot find the customize part there.

I can tab a word over using the tab key only when I hold the shift down.

Any help will be appreciated and Thanks in adavance!!!!

Hi Kimrenee1,

Normally, hitting the Insert key toggles between insert and replace.

Since your question is software related, you might want to post in the software forum for more help.

Good luck!
