First I know I'm not using the latest/greatest, but as I recall there is a way to have new text overwrite the current text in a document. I can't remember or find how to do this after several help searches. Does anyone know how to do this. I am trying to answer questions on a form, but the the lines already there just extend as my answer is added. I can go back and delete the extra lines/text, but that is a real pain.
Thank you in advance for any assistance offered.

Highlight the text you don't want and type it will replace the old with the new.
Press the "insert" key and put the cursor where you want to type over. New text will overwrite the old.
Both ways cited above work well.
You probably ARE using the greatest. I have MS Office 2011 on 2 computers, and Office 365 on 2 others. I'm seriously considering dumping 365 and putting 2011 on all of them.

That's what I do with any text program.
I have Word 2013 and it is the same way.
