When you are typing it will insert text by pushing any existing text over rather than replacing them which happens in overtype mode. You can turn Insert mode on by pressing the Insert key, and by pressing it again it will turn it off.
If i understand correctly, in most word processors the INS key will put you in what is called "Overtype mode" which will allow you to type over any existing text.
In overtype mode, the character underneath the cursor is deleted and a new character inserted when a letter key is pressed. In Insertmode, the new character is inserted and the rest of the characters in the word shift up to make room.
Insert in terms of the menu or tab on the ribbon, allows you to insert various things, like pictures, fields, dates, charts etc. Insert in terms of the typing mode will push text ahead of itself if you are typing in the middle of a word or sentence. The opposite is overtype which will replace what you have already as you type. Usually people work in Insert mode.
Press the Insert key. If you see Ovr on the status bar, you are in Overtype mode, which means what you type will replace existing text. If that does not work, right click on the status bar and choose Overtype. This will add an extra button onto the status bar which you can click on to swith between Insert and Overtype mode.
In overtype mode, the character underneath the cursor is deleted and the new character inserted when a letter key is pressed. When the key is pressed again, the next letter in the word is deleted and the new character inserted in its place. In Insertmode, the new character is inserted into the word without any deletion and the rest of the characters in the word shift up to make room.
That is the "INSERT" key.
Usually if the cursor is in some text and you start to type, the text that is already there is pushed over.
