no. default typing mode does not erase the words as you type, but overtype mode does.
false - the correct answer is insert mode. I know this because the previous answer cost me a point on my exam.
helps you to know when you are over typing a word

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.
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.
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.
