    Odd question: I have a user who works primarily in Outlook using Parallels, and sometimes when he's working, he gets switched from Insert mode to Overtype mode. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how the switch is happening, or how to change him back. Is there a key command for this that's getting accidentally triggered, maybe?

    Never mind...answered my own question in five minutes.

    Command-Help on a full-size Mac keyboard toggles INS/OVR.

    I used to suffer from this when ifirst used a PC after my Mac days

    just a matter of hititng a key by mistake
    Win98 or Win 2000 i think - just a bit primitive
