If you have a smaller screen, you may not want the indicator to take up room on the status bar. If you decide you don’t want the indicator visible on the status bar, you can easily disable it by right-clicking on the status bar and selecting “Overtype” from the popup menu again, removing the check mark from the item. In addition to the methods we previously mentioned for switching between the Insert and Overtype modes, you can also click on the indicator to switch modes. Select “Overtype” from the popup menu.Īn indicator immediately displays on the left side of the status bar, reading either “Insert” or “Overtype,” depending on which mode is active. Items preceded by a check mark are currently displayed on the status bar if there is no check mark to the left of an item, that item is not included on the status bar. But, since I program in Java, I have to go to command mode to make the file, compile/run it. A large list of items that can be added to the status bar displays on a popup menu. I was using it as a test editor for a while now, so I didnt have to go to command mode very often. To add an indicator for Insert/Overtype mode to the status bar, right-click on a blank spot on the status bar.
NOTE: If you want to use the “Insert” key on the keyboard to quickly switch between the two modes, click the “Use the Insert key to control overtype mode” check box so there is a check mark in it.Ĭlick “OK” to close the “Word Options” dialog box. In the “Editing options” section, click the “Use overtype mode” check box so there is a check mark in it.
Click “Advanced” in the list of items on the left.
