Solved/Closed

Hello everyone,

I am currently writing a text in Writer and I don't know why, suddenly when I type new characters in a sentence, the following ones get deleted.
In fact, the new characters are replacing the old ones.
I know it's a trivial issue, probably due to some misstep on my part, but I can't find any solutions...

Thanks in advance for your help!!
see you later
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.0.10

Press "Insert" to see... (on your keyboard, I specify...)

Hi,

This often happens to me!!! I only know one solution that works. Make sure to save your text, close Open Office, and when you reopen it, the letters won’t disappear as you type.

It has to do with corrections... but I don't know more than that :)

>These are bugs
Thank you for stopping the nonsense.

This is because you are in Replace mode and not Insert mode. Look in help F1 to see what I’m talking about.

Listen, give the solution!

I tell him how to fix it for now. When I have a job to do, and it happens to me, I do it like this. It was to help, and if you have the solution, give it to him instead of criticizing others.

Because I don't understand your bug explanation! OooOOoooOO

Have a good evening

I was talking to the ooOOOooo forum, not to you.

The Kesan problem is solved.....and thanks also for the information Oooforum! :)

Because now I too will know what to do, rather than closing and reopening my text!

It's bugs, in all computers and in all word processing software, even in Windows Mail or Live Mail, even when you're writing something on the NET, it does that!

Best regards ;)
