    So, there I was typing away normally in Windows when I must have hit something and it's stopped behaving the way it normally does.

    If I'm in the middle of a paragraph and I want to replace a phrase that I've written, I can just select it with the mouse and the start typing and the text that was selected will just disappear and the new bit that I typed appears instead.

    But, no longer! Now, the new bit that I type goes in just before the selected text, which is still there.

    It's not the 'Insert' key which has caught me out before... anyone know of any other quirky things like that in Windows that I might have triggered accidentally?

    thx

    worth pressing the control , alt and shift keys in case stuck
    restart is always good for weird stuff.

    what where you typing in ? microsoft word or similar

    microsoft word but it also happens in outlook!!

    very frustrating, as I'm so used to just highlighting text and typing over it or hitting the backspace key and neither of these work now!!

    don't forget that outlook may be using word as the email editor so it could just be word still.

    Press the "Insert" key. You must have hit off it.
