![]() I can't find that overtype button at the bottom of the window on word mac 2008. I can't remember the last time I intentionally wanted to turn on overwrite/insert mode. I can't count the number of times I have inadvertently activated this on my work PC (the key is extremely easy to accidentally press) and subsequently lost work before I've noticed. I remember reading Rick Shaut's blog about how this was something added under consumer demand somewhere around Word 6… but I cannot find the post.Īll I can say is thankfully no Insert key does exist on the Mac. I really, really don't know why 'overtype', shomething that was useful when the UI for word processors was command-line based, survived the coming of the GUI… In the Mac, Apple decided not to keep the Ins key, and Word was created for the Mac first… In the PC the OVR in the Word used to stand for overwrite, maybe that would help in your searchs.
