Now as I type behind letters already there (i.e. editing) the letters before
the cursor continuously disappear. Also, when I hit the space bar or delete a
word suddenly the word spacing is weirdly maximized to about three words per
line.
I have NOT opened any box or changed any settings (deliberately or to my
knowledge) and my internet security is good.
This is a nightmare for me. No matching info in books or in "help". HELP!!!
Please.

Along with toggling off overtype mode as the others noted, it also
sounds like you have the Justify alignment turned on and have manual
line breaks at the end of the each line.

Take a look at your Formatting toolbar and see if "Justify" is turned
on. If so change it to "Align Left". For the manual line breaks take a
look at this article:

assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
