You were in over type mode, not insert mode. Insert mode is what you
are in when you are able to add things; overtype takes out letters. It
is alt-ctrl-i.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] turning off insert mode with jaws in Word
Dear Booksharian Friends,
Two nights ago while validating in Microsoft word 2003, I think, with
JAWS
8.0, without meaning to change things, letters began disappearing when
I
tried to edit. When I inserted a letter, the letter following it
disappeared, so each change created a new problem.
I found a more time consuming way to continue working by moving to a
new
line and inserting what I needed where no letters followed and then
using
backspace to reconnect the word.
Since I know Jamie works in word, I asked her off list about the
problem and
she guessed I'd somehow gotten into something called insert mode which
I'd
never heard of but which sounded like a probable cause of my problem.
I searched through Word's menus and couldn't figure out what I should
change. Then I wondered if there was a JAWS related command I should
be
using.
By closing my validation file, shutting down my computer and
restarting, the
problem disappeared on its own.
Does anyone know how I can turn insert mode off if this should happen
again.
It has happened before, but then I just shut down without asking about
a
solution.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Always with love,
Lissi
