In Microsoft Word, when you highlight existing text that you want to replace, you are effectively selecting the text. Technically, you're not in a specific "mode" as Microsoft Word operates in a modeless environment for text editing. However, one could say you are preparing to overwrite or replace the text. Once text is selected, anything you type will replace the highlighted text immediately. This is a default behavior that makes editing and replacing text easy and intuitive.c
