Bob,
Even if it does not come back with every document loaded, it will populate the check box sometimes during my typing. I am a medical transcriptionist and type for a living so when I am tapping along, all of a sudden, my sentences start to overtype. It is very frustrating and just want to disable it if I could. I will never use this feature.

Thanks,
juboett

Did you notice how it toggles when you tap insert?

I didn't see where you tried that. Here my insert key is close to the right arrow so it's pretty easy to hit at times.

Did you try to look for a never turn on overtype on google? Here's what I found.

I didn't try it but you could.

I just wanted to let Bob know that I tried that link above and so far, (fingers crossed) it has worked. I am hoping that it continues....

Thanks again,
Juboett
