RH6: Issue: Text Overtype Instead of Text Insert

[The_Gunslinger]

I am using RH6. I placed my cursor in the middle of a paragraph. I expected to insert text there (that is, I expected new text to appear at my cursor while preserving existing text). Instead, I was overtyping existing text (that is, as I typed, existing text was overwritten by new text). I searched RH6 Help and the Adobe site for "overtype" and "overstrike" but found nothing. Any ideas?

Try pressing the Insert key on your keyboard just once.

Clicking Insert solved the problem. Thank you.

Megcb39 - At first I looked at your post and thought to myself that I really did not remember that answer. Then I saw it was twelve years ago and had to grin from ear to ear. Thanks for the chuckle.
