insert/overwrite key on MacBook Pro.

How do you switch from insert to overwrite on a MacBook Pro? I do not have a numeric key pad. I want this function when working with WORD.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Thank you for this. I found another way, and that was to click on the WORD dropdown, => Preferences => Edit => check box "Replace existing text as you type". A little cumbersome, but works. Thanks again.
