ICT IV(Lecture XI) 2012


Blinking Vertical line

            Marks the insertion point, the location where text you type appears in the document and where certain editing occurs.

Entering Text

To enter text, simply type it. As you type, the text appears and the insertion point moves to the right. If the line reaches the right edge of the screen, then MS Word automatically moves to the start of the next line; this is word wrapping. Press Enter only when you want to start a new paragraph.

Deleting Text

  1. To delete the character to the right of the insertion point, press Delete.
  2. To delete the character to the left of the insertion point, press Backspace.

If you make a mistake, you can recover deleted text with the Edit, Undo command. You can also click the undo button or press the shortcut key, Ctrl + Z.

Zooming the Screen

The View, Zoom command lets you control the size of your document as displayed on the screen. You can enlarge it to facilitate reading small fonts or decrease the size to view an entire page at one time.

You can  change the zoom setting by pulling down the Zoom control on the standard Toolbar and selecting the desired zoom setting.

Saving Documents

Saving a document for the first time.

  1. Select File, Save for an unnamed document , Word displays the save As dialog box.
  2. In the File Name text box, enter the name you want to assign to the document file.
  3. Click Save.

Saving a named document

            As you work on a document, save it periodically to minimize possible data loss in the event of a power failure or other system problem. Once you have assigned a name to a document, the File, Save command saves the current document version under its assigned name; no dialog boxes appear.
You can also click the Save button on the standard toolbar.

Retrieving a Document
            This means to reopen a document from your disk into Word for Windows so you can work on it.
