Hey, all. Lately, I've been having difficulties with Word regarding tex
replacement. I'll want to go back into a body of text to either inser
another sentence or edit something that's already existing and whateve
new text I type in replaces the existing text. I searched Word's Hel
feature and they only had one topic regarding this problem and tha
only pertained to using text boxes. In this instance, I'm not usin
one. I also peeked through some of the subjects on this board an
couldn't find anything. Originally, the text was working fine and I wa
able to alter it all I wanted. It was only after a certain point tha
it began to behave this way and it altered the way the older text wa
edited, as well. On this particular instance, I was copying and pastin
information taken off of a web page and altering it. Would this hav
something to do with it? Has the text on the page taken on som
invisible properties from the web page that I copied it from? An
insight you can offer into this problem would be appreciated
 
Your computer clock appears to be 24 hours out?
You have the overwrite mode selected. Toggle with the Insert button (which
is no doubt how you activated it) or click the OVR button on the Word status
bar.
