Officially, the INSERT Key toggles between Insert and Overwrite mode while
using Word. Since the INSERT Key is taken over by JAWS most of the time,
there is a JAWS command to use the next key pressed for its nonJAWS
function.

Using the JAWS command INSERT + 3 (on the top row of keys), permits the next
keystroke to be used for its non-JAWS function. Press INSERT + 3 followed by
Insert again. This should toggle back from Overwrite to Insert mode.

You may ask, "How did I activate Overwrite mode to begin with?" It probably
went this way:

While inside a Word document, you probably pressed CTRL + ALT + I. That is
the native Windows keystroke combination to toggle between Insert and
Overwrite modes. So, if while in a Word document, you press CRTL + ALT + I
again, you will be back in Insert mode rather than Overwrite mode.

Good luck.

Hi all --
I have been juggling programs, copying and pasting text here and there etc,
and I suddenly discovered that something I did put Word into a mode where it

types over (and erases) the text that the cursor is sitting on. I know there

is a toggle to have it overtype or insert behind, but I have no idea what
that keystroke is. Does anyone know it off the top of their head? It is very

frustrating using Word in this mode when you need to do a lot of inserts.
Thanks!
