When adding text in the middle of a line, the following characters disappear.

Buzz

I'm not very familiar with computers. When I use Word to type text, after typing, I want to edit some words in the middle of that text. However, when I move the cursor to that position to edit, the words after it are also deleted, and I don't know what to do, so I have to ask someone else to edit it on their computer. So, I wonder if Mytour has any solutions for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer:

Hello there! The reason here is that you accidentally pressed the Insert key on your computer keyboard (the key located above the Delete key). This key has the function of overwriting, meaning when you type a new character, this character will overwrite the character next to the cursor. To fix this, you just need to press that key again once and then check. If there is still no result, you can follow these steps (Only applicable for Word 2007 and later):

Step 1: Open the Options window in Word by: Applies to Word 2007/2010/2013

Click the Office icon in the top left corner of the screen (if the toolbar is not displayed) --> Word Options

Step 2: The Word Options window appears, select the Advanced tab

Step 3: Select Advanced

- To turn off the function of the Insert key --> uncheck the 2 lines of text Use the Insert key to control overtype mode and Use overtype mode.

- To turn on the function of the Insert key --> mark the check boxes for the 2 lines Use the Insert key to control overtype mode and Use overtype mode.

Select OK to complete the task

Wishing you success!
