In Powerpoint I need my text to Insert not Overtype

S

Stefan D. Bury

With the cursor placed between two words in a text box in Powerpoint I was
typing additional words I wanted to be in there, this was working fine until
suddenly I must have hit a bad key combination and the new text starting
overwriteing. I know in Word you correct this by clicking on OVR at the
bottom of the program or by selecting Tools, Options, then clicking on the
Edit tab and clicking in the Overwrite mode check box; but none of these
options seem to be available in Powerpoint.

Anyone know what key combination could have caused it to switch or how to
change it back to insert mode in Powerpoint?

You must have pressed the Insert key on your keyboard. ;)
Press the Insert key again to change back from OVR to INS. Same applies in
Microsoft Word.
