Is your Exchange key F10?
If not, then...
Check the INI file to make sure the entry is correct in the [Configuration]
section.
SendCallExchangeKey=n
Where "n" is the number of your F key that is your run exchange.
Information on Special Accelerator keys (Insert is a special accelerator
key) here:
http://www.rttycontesting.com/tutorials/writelog/writelog-rtty-starter/page-
10/
If that is all OK, then check to make sure the Insert key has not been
accidentally programmed to do something else by looking in Keyboard
Shortcuts.
Setup > Keyboard Shortcuts.
That's all I can think of.

I worked the entire WPX without the insert key working as it should. It will
send the message but will not send the callsign.. I have to click on the
highlighted callsign and that puts it in the callsign field and then send.
It was not that bad but it did slow me down and it is not my normal
procedure. I would like to have it as it should be.

F11 which sends my call twice. When the station calls me back and sends his
exchange I click on his number and press F10 to send my exchange.
Immediately the cursor disappears and the File option is highlighted. The
F10 message sends ok, but now I must click in the NUMB field with the mouse
to make the cursor reappear so that I can press Enter and log the QSO. I
have checked multiple things to no avail. The keyboard short cut for F10 is
just Message 10. I completely wiped out the F10 macro and retyped it
thinking that there might be an imbedded hidden control character in there
somewhere, but even after typing in the macro again the behavior is the
same. I?ve tried all my other F key and Shifted F key macros and the F10
key is the only one to show this behavior. Not a show stopper, but a
definite nuisance.
