Anyone familiar with Microsoft "Word"?
Mods: please leave this here for a while, as I need an answer in hours rather than the days it'll take in "Computer Related".
Thanks.
Using MS Word last night, it suddenly went weird on me: I'd typed the word "with", but typed it as "wth".
I went back to insert the "i", but as I did so, it deleted the "t". As I put the "t" back in, it deleted the "h", and so on, right up to the end of the work, three sentences later
What did I do wrong? Can I stop it happening again, and can I put it right if it does?
Many thanks for any help,
Alcazar

it switches it on and off, so press it once and carry on as normal

And I think there are 2 INSERT kets and easy to catch one of them. One next to BACKSPACE and the other on 0 button on right hand side next to DELETE.
