Inserting a character

B

BJ

When typing a letter and I read what I've typed, I see that
I have left out a word or character and want to go back
and insert the word. I mark the spot and type the new
word but it erases the word following the spot.

I assume I have something in the formatting wrong, but do
not know what to change.
