Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock are keyboard functions.
Insert, by default, is disabled in Word 2007. You can use the Insert button
on the status bar (Right click and add it if not present) or you can turn it
on From Word Options > Advanced > Use the Insert Key to control overtype
mode.

I continually remove the check mark on the Edit tab on the Overtype mode,
but after booting up it becomes checked again.

I am using Word 2003. Does anyone know how to set the default mode to "NOT"
overtype?

If you cannot get the setting to stick, the Data key in the registry might
be damaged. You could try deleting it (which would also reset the options to
the factory defaults). See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm.

If Stefan's suggestion doesn't fix it - and even if it does the fix may only
be temporary as Word has a bad habit of changing personal settings in tools

options - then add the following line

Options.Overtype = False

to both an autonew and an autoopen macro in normal.dot - see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
If you are having programs with *Windows* changing the keyboard settings on
boot-up, it is possible to remap the keys to the required settings, but
first see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/203711
