make sure that you didn't press 'insert' on your keyboard. You can tell if the the letters "OVR" are displayed at the bottom of your word proccessor.

Answer 2

On the Status Bar at the bottom you will see the word OVR in black rather than grey. Click once on it to turn it off.

You probably hit the Ins[ert] key on your keyboard by mistake. That also toggles Insert/Overtype on and off.

Answer 3

HIT the Insert key.
