I made a small change in Microsoft Word today that will make my life incredibly easy.
I discovered how to disable the Overtype Mode, toggled by the Insert key. So I will no longer accidentally type over existing text because I have accidentally pressed the Insert key. Thank goodness for small mercies.

Kill the Insert Key:
- Start Word
- Click on the Tools menu
- Click Customize
- Click the Options tab
- Click Keyboard
- Under the Catgories dropdown box, select All Commands
- Under the Commands dropdown box, select Overtype
- Under the Current keys downdown box, select Insert
- Click Remove
- Click Close until the dialog windows close.
It is interesting to note that the more I use Microsoft Word the more features I disable.
