Why does selected text no longer get replaced with new typing?

I sometimes use MS Office Pro 2003 at two different independent sites. In
older Office versions I would highlight text, then type, and the highlighted
text would be replaces with the new typing. Now [2003] the typed text occurs
in front of the selected text which is not overwritten.

Is this a default setting change? A product change? And how can I get back
to normal?

In Tools > Options > Edit, check the box for "Typing replaces
selection".
