Enter And Edit Text
When Word 2010 is launched at the
beginning of a work session, it provides a blank document ready for you to
start typing. Word assigns the name “Document1” and this appears on the title
bar at the top of the screen until you save the document and allocate a
filename. Each time a new document is created, Word will assign this temporary
name with the number of the document going up in sequence (e.g. the second
document created in any one session
would be “Document2” and so on).
would be “Document2” and so on).
Word Wrap
When
you are typing in a document, Word has a feature called word wrap. This is what
makes the cursor automatical y jump onto a new line when the text that you are
typing has filled up all the space on the previous line. Therefore the only
time that you need to tell Word to begin a new line is if you want to start a
new paragraph.
Click and Type
The cursor appears as a flashing
vertical bar. To enter text, simply begin to type. If your cursor is at the top
of the page and you wish to type text some way down the page, double click with
the mouse to anchor your cursor in the desired location. This feature is known
as Click and Type.
Hidden Characters
Typing normal text into a word
document may seem just like using a type writer and it is as far as just typing
basic text, but many characters that you may be instructed to type will enter
other, unseen characters to your document that can have dramatic effects later
on when formatting or practising more advanced uses of word. These hidden
characters can be displayed so that you may see exactly what you are entering
into your document.
