  I can’t remember how to stop unwanted deleting – the problem is that if I place the cursor somewhere in a text in order to edit, the text in front of the cursor gets overwritten. Hope for some help…

  Press the key marked Insert on the top right of your keyboard. That should toggle it back.

  Thank you! I did this once before many years ago and I have forgotten how I got out of it. I did try Google but it came up with nothing relevant.

  You’re welcome. Google doesn’t rule the entire world – yet! :)
