I use it every day any time I am writing. My guess is that the guy who wants to delete it also wants to type over everything he writes.Reb I cannot imagine how I could get along w/o the Insert key.

I've just never really had a reason to use it. If it's hit by mistake (usually when aiming for the delete key) I end up overstriking part of my message that doesn't need it. I touch type, so I'm not looking at the screen and sometimes don't realize what's happened until I proof the message.

I've tried pasting from the Snipping Tool, from the Clipboard and from the Insert command, but nothing works. I just get an empty box with a thin red frame. I've tried Googling this problem but can't seem to find a solution. Any help would be much appreciated!! Why, all of a sudden, can I no longer paste a picture into Word 2010,with Windows 7??

I just tap the key to start the "typeover" and tap it again to go back to the "insert mode". It is very easy and you know immediately if its in the wrong mode.

I am with Mary Kayle, I can't see why anyone would want to disable it, just don't use it, sheesh. I guess it is like a lot of other features, people just don't know how useful it can be because they don't know how/when to use it.BTW your example of how to change it looks like Word 2007 not 2010. My 2010 doesn't have an Office button, you use the file ribbon to get to the options after that it is the same.

Simple solution is to just pry cap off of keyboard! Key still enabled but not as likely to inadvertantly strike it as I so frequently did. Just gently pry up from under edge of key cap. ALL of my keyboards are missing this cap. CAPS LOCK was my problem! Simple solution is to just pry cap off of keyboard!

I can't begin to tell you how many times that overtype function has come in handy for me, especially when I boilerplate fill-in forms. How can anyone complain about this very useful function?
