Word is the word processing program. It has many of the editing and
formatting features that you would expect from a fully-featured word
processor.
Many types of text formatting, e.g. alignment and font settings, can be applied
to individual paragraphs or defined as a paragraph style.
The text you type always appears at the current cursor location (there is a
marker in the margin to help you find the cursor). All text after the current
cursor position moves to make way for the new text. To delete characters,
press Del to delete backwards or hold down Shift and press Del to delete
forwards from the cursor.
When text reaches the right-hand side of the screen, it automatically wraps the
text onto the next line. If you want to view your page as it will be printed
(WYSIWYG), switch off word-wrapping by removing the tick on the
command on the View menu.
As you might expect, you can apply many commands to sections of text by
highlighting them first. To highlight text, drag the pen over it or hold down
Shift and use the arrow keys. To select all text in the file, use the command on
the Edit menu.
• To remove text: highlight the text and press Del or select Cut. If you
accidentally delete a section of text, you can replace it by selecting Undo
delete on the Edit menu.
• To copy text without deleting the original: highlight it and select Copy
on the Edit menu. To insert copied text, place the cursor where you want
the text to appear and select Paste on the Edit menu.
• To move a section of text: highlight it and select Cut on the Edit menu.
Place the cursor where you want the text to appear, then select Paste.
• You can make the text appear larger or smaller on the screen by selecting
Zoom in and Zoom out on the View menu. You can also select Set zoom
to set a custom zoom level. Note that zooming does not affect printing.
You can search through an entire file for a particular word or phrase and, if
you wish, replace it with a different one. The Find commands are on the Edit
menu.
To find text:
• Select Find and type in the text that you want to find. You can search
down or up through a file - down searches from the current position to the
end of the file, and up searches backwards to the beginning of the file.
