I'm working on several reports and would like to overwrite without

feature. How do I do this on the newer version?

It's exactly the same.

If pressing the Insert key once doesn't change from insert mode to overtype
mode, you may have an option turned off. Go to Office button Word Options
Advanced, in the Editing Options group, and make sure the option "Use the
Insert key to control overtype mode" is checked.

If that doesn't help, there's another way. Right-click the status bar at the
bottom of the Word window and click the Overtype item in the menu to display
it on the status bar. Clicking that item in the status bar will switch
between Insert and Overtype (and pressing the Insert key should also switch
it back and forth).
