How do I reset the vertical ruler to its default setting?

I've messed up Microsoft Word so that the vertical ruler is altered,
covering the whole page from top to botom, and I can't highlight the line to
make the ruler shorter.
Also, if I highlight text, and type something, it doesn't erase the
previous text.

That's probably because you need to go into Tools > Options and check
the "white space between pages" box. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm.

In the same dialog, check the "Typing replaces selection" box.
