I recently upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04. This seems to have left me with some new LibreOffice Writer functions that I don't want - or understand.

I don't want new additions to a text document underlined and coloured brown by default. It took a while to find and shut down this 'feature'.

Now I find I can't delete or overwrite text from the document's earlier edits made when I was using 10.04. Delete and backspace keys simply push the cursor over the text.

I figure some kind of write protection is on the document by default. How do I make my document editable again?

delete close flag offensive retag edit

I think you are talking about:
Menu/Edit/Changes.
There you can:
enable/disable Record text modifications,
protect changes,
show or hide the changes, maybe this is what have change. ... Take a look in the program help for a detailed information.
