Additionally, select |View|Status Bar and make sure that Status Bar is checked. This will place an informational status bar at the bottom of your document. Then when you click the "INS" key, you will see that the box just to the right of the percentage will toggle between "INSRT" and "OVER". This tells you when you are in the 'over type' mode vs the 'insert' mode. cc'd to Willis -- This is a mailing list which exists to support users of OpenOffice.org All answers are given by other users who volunteer their time.
