Hi - when I type in the middle of a word it types over the following text
instead of just adding or deleting. This has only just started happening -
how can I stop it? Thanks
 
Or click Tools | Options... and clear the 'Overtype mode' checkbox on the
Edit tab or double click OVR in the status bar at the bottom of the document
window - although just pressing the Insert key as Suzanne has instructed
will have the same effect.

Note, however, that the status bar does provide a useful visual cue: OVR
will be enabled (the letters will be dark) in overtype mode.
