How to stop the spacebar deleting words when creating space?

[MabelM]

I've been typing a document using MS Word 2003 and everytime I try to go back
up (whether a sentence or a paragraph up) into my document to fix some other
typing errors I've made especially typing a missing word into some sentence;
the next word/s get deleted/erased everytime I use a spacebar to create space
forcing me to retype the rest of the document all over again. What's the
problem here? And how do you solve this?

You are in overtype mode. Press the INS key once.
