how do I cancel the insert key when typing in word?

[Kat]

Sometimes I accidently press the insert key while writing a document in word,
and it really mucks things up...how do I cancel that accident?

Press it again. It's a toggle.

Press it again. It's a toggle.

It's a shame that "Toggle Keys" (which is in "Accessibility Options" in
the control panel) can't signal accidental presses of "Insert" as well
as Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock. I would imagine that
accidentally changing between overtype mode and insert mode (without
realising it) would seriously mess up a blind person's typing.

I appreciate Toggle Keys for what it does, and might enable Insert
notification, if it were possible.
