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.

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. -- Suzanne S.
