Click AutoCorrect Options in the AutoCorrect Options section. In Word 2010, click the File tab, click Options (under Help) and then click Proofing in the left pane. On the AutoFormat As You Type tab, uncheck Border Lines in the Apply In Word 2007 click the Office button and then click Word Options. If you really want the toolbar button, with Word 2011 and the new "Ribbon", it seems to only let you drag the custom toolbar entry to the toolbar at very top of the Word window.Select AutoCorrect from the Tools menu. View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars & Menus > (Click "Commands" tab) > (Click "All Commands" filter) > Overtype (drag either to menu or toolbar) Option #2.: Add a Custom Menu command for "Overtype" Word > Preferences > Edit > Overtype (toggle box) Option #1: Set in preferences (less useful, bit fiddly, but quick for a one off) Just as an fyi, for Microsoft Word 2011 on a Mac, to use Overtype you have the same two options you had on Office 2008. I rarely use Overtype but occasionally it's invaluable for completing basically assembled forms in word where form authors have relied (a little annoyingly, albeit well intended) on the use of underscores to block out a fillable area. I searched and searched online and couldn't find info because the word - overtype - was not in my personal vocabulary, so I didn't search for it.
If you click the OVR word, its circle will turn green and you will write over text until you again click the OVR box. On the far right, there are four abbreviated words: REC TRK EXT OVR, each with a small circle to their left.
Nothing is listed on any of the menus, or when I searched the help field (that's because the Mac calls it "overtype," which I didn't know at the time).Īt the very bottom of the document's screen, there are some bits of information (page, section, total number of pages, etc.). So I was typing along in Microsoft Word on a Mac, when all of a sudden I was writing over all of the text - as if I had pressed the Insert key on a PC.
