        In the lower right corner does it say “INS” or “OVR”? I suspect it says “OVR” which means “OVERWRITE” which means your typing will overwrite existing text. Point your mouse to the OVR text and click it and it will change to “INS” which means “INSERT” and your problem should be solved. Post again if that does not solve it.
