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.
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.
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.

The "insert" mode in Microsoft Word allows users to insert new characters without overwriting existing characters. When a character is typed in insert mode, Word automatically shifts all characters to the right of the typed character by one position to accommodate the newly inserted character.
