I think there was one of these already, but I can't easily find it...

Anyway, in Microsoft Word, whenever I highlight a phrase and try to type over it, it won't let me. It will just add the new text next to the old. I can just hit delete, but that gets annoying when I'm trying to edit a paper. I can still just highlight and replace text in notepad, just not in Word. I'm sure this has a simple solution, but I can't think of anything.
