Usually it just means that someone has hit the "Ins" key located on the
NumPad by mistake. Hitting it one more time should fix the problem.

A friend of mine has the problem that sometimes while he is writing an
email it goes into overtype instead of insert . Has he somehow hit some
hotkey to do this or why does it happen?

TIA
