Question: On Mac: Word- everytime I go to add something it erases the words after it. Help!? I have a Microsoft word on Mac. And I've hit a key that activates this function to erase whatever I've written if I go back and try to insert something later. I don't know how to turn it off. Please help

Answer: I had this same problem for a while, too. You need to go to "Preferences" in the "File" drop-down bar, and go to "Edit." Look on the checklist. You will notice the words "Overtype Mode." Uncheck this preference, and you're home free!
