OL2003 highlighted text is not replaced

I've just started using Office 2003 with Outlook using Word as my email editor. When I highlight text and try to type over it, it is not replaced but reappears after the new text I type. Is there a setting I've missed?

It was simpler than I thought. Tools\Options\Edit tab "typing replaces selection.

Now why would the new Word default to the unchecked selection?!
I can't think of a reason I would want to block text just to type in front of it. Ridiculous.
