Looking up an answer for an earlier post, I found that Word 2010 now does its best to protect users from accidentally using Overtype … you'll need to enable it, as explained in the F1 help.

Use overtype mode
To change the overtype settings so that you can access overtype mode by pressing INSERT, do the following:- Press ALT+F, T to open Word Options.
- Press A to select ADVANCED, and then press TAB.
- Press ALT+O to move to the Use the Insert key to control overtype mode check box.
- Press SPACEBAR to select the check box, and then press ENTER.
To turn Overtype mode on or off, press INSERT.
