When the text disappears you're in the overwrite mode. Pressing the insert key toggles the overwrite mode on and off. "OVR" appears on the bottom task bar when the mode is activated.

Quick MS word / wordpad editing question

Every once and a while my program goes into this mode where it erases the text as you are editing. I like normal editing where you can insert a word / edit a word and it just goes in the empty space and pushes the rest of your text ahead (normal operation). Don't know how I get it in the other mode and searched how to get it out. Happened yesterday on the kids school project - they were using bullets in a report.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any comments / suggestions.<br /><br />Jeff
