Typing Replaces Selection setting changes.

i more or less starting out vba scripting word 2003 , 2010 , i've noticed somewhere in use of templates auto-load subroutines, or macros launch templates or else in environment is changing typing replaces selection setting (turning setting off) in word.  happens randomly, , can't nail down.  not intentionally doing in macros cause this. 

i noticed same thing happen few years ago when our office experimented 3rd-party system used templates , macros.  their system went berserk if setting turned off, , every so user call me report , every time found t-replaces-s turned off. 

we have no grouppolicy settings set cause this.

has else seen this?  ideas what's causing or should look? behavior come result of ms office automatic updates getting applied?

i run 1 or more startup templates, easy enough fix including code set setting each time word starts.  assumes isn't something in one of macros.

thanks in advance,

peter

well, search code line sets option false. alternative showing code in thread, of course.
