Read the docs. for insertText:

================================================================
Inserts aString into the receivers text at the insertion point if
there is one, otherwise replacing the selection. The inserted text is
assigned the current typing attributes.
<snip>
Because this method pertains to the actions of the user, the text view
must be editable for the insertion to work. Generally, programmatic
modification of the text is best done by operating on the
NSTextStorage.
================================================================

It basically tells you why it doesn't work and what to do instead.
