A point of insertion is also called the insertion point. The point of insertion is the place, or point, in a graphics program where the next character that you type will show on the screen. The point is typically shown with a vertical line that is blinking.
It is called a cursor and also the insertion point.

If you are referring to Web Design, click on the spot you are being told is the "insertion point", which makes that spot your insertion point. Depending on what program you are using (such as Dreamweaver) , you may have to press the shift/enter key, and other programs you only have to hit the enter key. Hope that helps!
Cursor
When the program is running there will be a flashing vertical line, the insertion point, on screen when you press the keys of the keyboard, those letters appear at the insertion point and become the words of your document. You type the keys and make a word.

The insertion point is directly after the last character you inserted.
If you hit the Backspace key, the insertion point will move to the left. If you press the Delete key, the insertion point will stay where it is.
To place the insertion point inside a cell in a spreadsheet, simply click on the cell where you want the insertion point to appear. The insertion point will show up as a blinking cursor inside the cell, allowing you to enter or edit text or data directly within the cell.
