Inserting Text

I'm having a weird problem with Word, and I'm assuming I changed something,
I'm just not sure WHAT I did, lol.

This is my work PC, so when I am finished typing a document (that's usually
going to a customer) I re-read it, and make changes. To change a sentence, I
highlight what I'm going to "type over" and the begin typing.

....Except, that's not working now! Look at this sentence:

The cat is white. The dog is brown.

Say I wanted to type over "white" and change it to "orange". I'd highlight
white, and then start typing orange, and it would delete "white" after I hit
the "o" key. However, instead of doing that, it's putting the cursor at the
beginning of "white" and typing in front of it. So now, the sentence reads
"The cat is orange white. The dog is brown."

The backspace key will not delete it either, I have to actually use the
delete key to remove unwanted words.

I realize I could use the "insert" key, but then it will usually write over
more letter that I want, which still creates extra work.

Help? How do I get it back to normal?!
