| Quick laptop/MS Office settings question 09:05 - Oct 31 with 1365 views | artsbossbeard |
I've somehow pressed a button that means when I type, I simply can't click within a sentence I'm writing and insert additional words as it simply overwrites anything past where I've clicked.
The Insert button is your friend, I hear you say, however, on my HP laptop, the "ins" button is shared with the "print screen" button with "ins" sitting on top of the two. I've tried Shift, ctrl & alt in separately and in conjunction with hitting the button with no joy.
Note: This must be an MS thing, as it works absolutely fine on here.
Thanks in advance [Post edited 31 Oct 2018 9:08]

I think you have to wait until the support team from the internet contact you, then they will fix it if you play them Radio 4. |  | | |

No joy, I'll reboot it and see if that sorts things. Ta anyway. | |

Overtype, or OVR, is the most stupid, pointless setting ever. I can honestly think of no need for it. Drives me nuts when it happens to me. |  |

Maybe if you were looking to delete half your morning's work and get wound up at the same time.
Stay safe out there, people. |
As a keyboard watcher rather than a screen watcher, I can confirm this to be very real. | |

...but make sure you have an etch-a-sketch to hand... |  |
