Sorry for that:

INSERT mode is when the INSERT key is turned on and everything you type
replaces what is already there. The other name for that is OverType.

There really isn't a "Overstrike". There is a Strikethrough, which is a way
of putting a line across a word (sort of like lineout). This is usually
accomplished by using a feature called Track Changes. When Track Changes is
turned on and you highlight to delete a word and replace it with something
else, the original word gets "lined out" using Strikethrough and the new
text gets underlined to show the change.

Hope this helps!

Not quite correct. When the Insert key is turned on, text you type is
inserted before the text in front of it. When the Insert key is turned off
(by pressing Insert or double-clicking OVR on the Word status bar), you are
in Overtype mode, and text in front of the cursor will be replaced as you
type.
