While I appreciate the fix for Word, there must be a way to disable "insert" globally.
Another annoyance: there's an unknown keyboard shortcut that enables insert mode.
I'm regularly hitting it somehow in Outlook Express, Internet Explorer...EVERYTHING.
(probably Word too)
What the heck is it and how do I turn it off GLOBALLY?!
Thanks,
C.J.
