I just upgraded to Office 2010 from Office 2000, and find it a great improvement. One thing has me stumped, though.

In Word 2000 there a little bar across the bottom of the screen that showed, among other things, four little boxes saying REC, TRK, EXT, and OVR. When I was in overtype mode OVR was bolded, and when I wasn't the OVR was grayed out. Therefore, I could always see whether or not I was in overtype mode.

I can't find any corresponding indicator in Word 2010 showing whether I'm in overtype mode. To find out, I just have to try typing and see if it overtypes or not. I would be grately deepful if you can tell me (a) whether an overtype indicator exists in Word 2010, and (b) if so, how to make it display on screen.
