Disable Overtype / Insert Ability in VB Editor for Word 2016 …

[AreJay]

Using VBA in Word 2016, how can I disable the overtype mode (insert toggle) feature in both the Word 2016 VB Editor and within Excel?

It is an a serious annoyance when typing quickly and inadvertently activating overtype mode when pressing the insert key.

Thank you.

It is the function of the Insert key to toggle overtype mode on/off. I've done VBA coding for decades and have never had a significant issue with "inadvertently activating overtype mode". If you're having an issue in the VBE, you're probably having it everywhere else, too. Type more carefully; otherwise, see: http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-the-Insert-Key-in-Windows
