Insert Key!! =)
The only difference between Insert Mode and Overtype Mode is that characters are placed in front of the text after the cursor in Insert Mode, where as existing characters are overwritten in Overtype Mode.
In Insert mode the character to the right will never be typed over. That can only happen in Overtype mode.In Insert mode the character to the right will never be typed over.

It sounds like you've 'toggled' the over-type function. If it happens again - press the 'Ins' key on your keyboard - that toggles between the (normal) insert mode and overtype mode.
helps you to know when you are over typing a word
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.
Press the 'Ins' key. Normally your keyboard is set in insert mode. Pressing Ins will change it to over-type and vice-versa. You can also look on the status bar and click on "OVR" to turn overtype on or off.
false - the correct answer is insert mode. I know this because the previous answer cost me a point on my exam.
If you mean inserting columns, you can insert new columns into a worksheet, like when you may need a new column in the middle of existing ones. The Insert Function, allows you to insert new functions in a cell. The Insert key can change between Insert mode and Overtype mode, allowing you to change what happens when text is typed into existing text. In Insert mode, existing text is pushed to the right by the new text. Overtype mode replaces existing text as you type. The Insert tab on the ribbon allows you to insert lots of things, like charts or objects.
Toggles the computer between insert and overwrite mode. Put your cursor between two letters in a word. When you are in INS mode, you will push the letters to the right as you type. When you are in OVR mode, you will type over the letters and replace them with the letters you type.
Press the Insert key to switch to overtype mode and then text that is there will be replaced as you type.

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.
