Cookbook of Tech TutorialsWord: Disable the Insert Key to Permanently Turn Off Overtype Mode | Microsoft Word | Tech-Recipes

Just to say thanks, I went through the process of setting up an account on this site. That damn Insert key is right next to my Delete key on my laptop keyboard. I inadvertently click it all the time and wind up overtyping all the time. Thank you so much - even a geek like me didn't realize that word's keyboard was configurable like that. I wonder if my "Function" key associated with that key on my keyboard is dead too? Probably but that's okay, I never use the "Print Screen" functionality with this laptop anyway. Okay, thanks again, you're the best.

my laptop kyboaard is acting wierd.(i am tediously having to use an onscreen keyboard). it is typing numbers for certain keys eg.u=4 etc.
i have never seen this b4. The insert key light is on and when i press it wont turn off.
i think the engineer pressed a commbination of keys while he was testing it.

You must know I am from the older generation..... and since that OVR/Insert key kept driving me crazy on my new keyboard, I thought something was technically wrong with it and that I would have to buy a new one...... :( :)
