How do I toggle my Insert Key off? I wish to overwrite text for a paragraph, then toggle back to insert mode.

 

In the WORD program I have already selected Use the insert key to control overtype mode.

 

When I press my "ins" key (located on the bottom right of my keyboard - "ins" is written in small letters below the 0), a zero is typed instead of toggling between insert/overwrite.
