Overtype
To switch from overtype mode to insert mode in most text editors or word processors, simply press the "Insert" key on your keyboard. If you're using Microsoft Word, you can also check the status bar at the bottom of the window to see if it's in overtype mode and click on it to toggle back to insert mode. If the "Insert" key doesn't work, you may need to adjust settings in the software's preferences or options menu.
no. default typing mode does not erase the words as you type, but overtype mode does.

helps you to know when you are over typing a word
Simply by pressing the INS key you can toggle this behavior on and off.
This feature is called "overtype mode" or "overwrite mode." In this mode, when you type, the characters to the right of the cursor are replaced by the new characters rather than being pushed to the right. You can typically toggle this mode on and off using the "Insert" key on your keyboard.

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.
If there is something in the cell, it will be overwritten by what is being typed in.
