marks the start of the text. An indicator light will go on next to the word
“mark” (upper right hand corner of keyboard) when the MARK START
keyis pressed.
• Position the cursor after the last letter you wish to change andpress MARK
END (3 ). The indicator light will stay on until marks are off.
You can change the markings — simply move the cursor to a new place
and press MARK START or MARK END again and the start or end point will
move to the new location. The mark characters always show you what text is
marked.
The cursor changes to a “fat cursor” (2) when text is marked. This is handy
when marked text is out of view, to let you know that changes could affect
off-screen text.
You can remove the marks completely by pressing UNDO.
MarkingWholeLinesandPages
If you want to copy, move, or otherwise
change an entire line of text, place the
MARK START character at the end of the
preceding line, rather than placing it at the
start of the line you want to change. This
way, the marked selection includes the in-
visible NEW LINE character that created
the line.This character “contains” the char-
acteristics of the line following it, so when
the line is copied or moved, the character-
istics will come along.
Hint:Tomark all thetexton a page,press
SHIFT while you press MARK START, fol-
lowed by SHIFT + MARK END. To mark all
text on all pages, press CMD as you press
MARK START, followed by CMD + MARK
END.
Deleting Marked Text
Press DELETE immediately after marking text and the marked text will
disappear.To prevent accidental erasure,the cursor mustbe located just after
one of the marks.
If you accidentally press DELETE, press UNDO immediately and the text
will be restored.
ReplacingMarked Text
To replace a block of text with something new, mark the text and delete it
as described above. The cursor will remain where the deleted text was so you
can type something new to replace it.
