As you learn other things about AbiWord that might be of use to others please feel welcome to create a new TWiki page (or add it to an appropriate existing TWiki page). regards, Randy Kramer On Monday 27 January 2003 07:46 am, Bo Parker wrote: > F J Franklin said: > > On 26 Jan 2003, Mark Gilbert wrote: > > > On Sun, 2003-01-26 at 14:35, Bo Parker wrote: > > >> I have just used fink to install abiword on my computer (G4 933 > > >> Mac G4 running OS X 10.2.3, using Apple's X11). > > >> Question: how do I switch it to overtype mode? > > > > > > Press the insert key. > > > > Sound advice, but I wonder if Bo suffers from the same lack of an > > insert key as I? > > Thanks for the feedback, folks. > > No, I don't have an Insert key either :( > > Anyone know how to emulate the Insert key on a PowerMac G4 with OS X > 10.2.3 and Apple X11? > > BTW, I use overtype mode to do ASCII guitar tablature.
