    Hey folks, just a quick question. im writing a thesis at the moment, and im using MS Word. What keeps happening is, if i go back to fill in a sentence halfway up the page, it just writes over whatever is already there, rather then pushing everything on. Its really annoying, im having to cut everything that comes after where i want to make the change, and paste it back in afterwards. Its gettin' really old, really fast. I figure there must be something simple to click to make it stop doing it. Help?!

    Press 'insert' on your keyboard. Then try it.

    You probably hit the "insert key" when looking for the delete key! It would be quite annoying if you didnt know what was going on!
