Hi :)
For the non-geeks, stripping out the coding gives us

Insert mode is enabled.
The text cursor is a blinking vertical line.
Click on the area to enable the overwrite mode.

Insert mode is enabled. When in Writer
The text cursor is a blinking vertical line.
Click on the area to enable the overwrite mode.

The overwrite mode is enabled.
The text cursor is a blinking block.
Click on the area to enable insert mode.

The overwrite mode is enabled. When in
Wrtiter The text cursor is a blinking block.
Click on the area to enable insert mode.


I think even after correcting 'obvious' typos the paragraphs are still
unclear.  What is "the area" that it is saying needs to be clicked on?  Why
not just press the "insert" key on the keyboard?  A couple of the
paragraphs specify Writer but surely the same thing happens in the other
apps/modules?



My problem with this string is that "Where in Writer" does not appear for
translation. But it´s also true that "the area" is unclear.

Regards



Perhaps a better generic paragraph would be something like;

When using insert mode
the text-cursor is a blinking block, █ .
Clicking on {the area} "toggles" the mode back to insert mode.

When using overwrite mode
the text-cursor is a blinking vertical line, | .
Clicking on {the area} "toggles" the mode back to insert mode.


Errr, i couldn't find a decent block but the vertical line is on the
keyboard, either around the Enter key or off to the far left besides the
shift key.
Regards from
Tom :)
