I have MS Office 2004 running on my Macbook. And somehow I have made it so that if I go back into the text paragraph to add a sentence or word, it deletes the words after it, making it that I have to re-type anything that follows. This is somewhat time consuming when I am trying to take notes. I must have pressed a button because it wasn't always like this, would someone be able to help me and let me know how to get it back to normal? Thanks so much!
Got a tip for us?

You're in Overtype mode.
I don't have 2004 in front of me, but look for a green OVR near the bottom, click that to turn overtype off.

Perfect! So simple, yet I would have never figured that one. Thank you, my note taking will be so much easier again now!
That would be the case on a PC keyboard, but a Mac laptop keyboard does not have an INS key although there are key combinations to do the same thing.
