word wrap

[The Stick]

When I type word wrap does not allow me to insert a letter or delete without
deleting previuos typing. In other words, I have to retype all proceeding
typing.

Press the Insert key once or double-click OVR on the status bar.

TX a bunch, I understand the insert key method, but please explain the OVR on
status bar. Which status bar??

 

[Terry Farrell]

Status BAr usually means the bar at the bottom of the application WIndow
(for most applications). So right-click on teh Status Bar and choose the
options you want displayed.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

The status bar is the bar across the bottom of the Word window that displays
the page and section number and other position information followed by a row
of boxes marked REC (to turn the macro recorder on/off), TRK (to turn Track
Changes on/off), EXT (to turn the Extend Selection mode on/off), and OVR (to
turn Overtype mode on/off). By default, all these are off, so the display is
dimmed. If any of them is black, that means it's on. You toggle them by
double-clicking. When you press the Insert key you'll see that the display
of OVR is toggled.
