Word, help required asap

Help, why suddenly when I am typing in a word document has it suddenly started overtyping when I try and ammend my document, I used to be able to put the cursor anywhere on my documents and add extra typing in, now it has stopped doing this and just overtypes what is already there, making it impossible to add extra text ?????
What have I accidently done ???
How do I sort it out ?????

PRESS THE INSERT BUTTON

It toggles between over type and insert

Try pressing the insert key - you may have hit this by mistake whilst typing. This key toggles between inserting new text where the cursor is, or overtyping.

I do it all the time, it's the insert button. Teaches me to look where I type!
