DELETING TEXT
One of the primary advantages of working with aword processor is the ease with whichcorrections can be made. In Word, simplechanges can be made to the text in your
document by using the deleteand backspacekeys to readily remove text. Whereas the deletekey removes characters to the right of the insertionpoint, backspace removes characters to the left.

UNDERSTANDING FONT FORMATTING
Font formatting refers to the appearance of text.You can change the format or appearance of textto make a particular phrase stand out, to maketext more or less prominent, to indicate that the
text is a quote, to reflect a particular mood orfeeling, and to ensure that the overall effect is oneof continuity and consistency. Text anywhere in adocument can be formatted for any reason you like.
Text in Documents
Some of the simplest documents consist of text on a page. The text you use can be formatted tomeet corporate requirements, to fit more on a page, to make it easy to read, to make it look like aflyer rather than a letter it can be formatted for a wide variety of reasons.
For example, you may like to change the font, font size, apply boldor italics, underline or change thecolourof text.
Text in Tables
Text is used in tables, as shown here. The text can be formatted to show:
Headings
Normal table entries
Quotes
S!"#$%and many other things...
Text in Boxes
Text can also be used in text boxes and other shapes. This text can also be formatted to match yourdocument or as a caption for an image in a borderless text box, for example.
Keep it Simple
Formatting of text is best applied simply. Only make a limited number of changes unless your projectspecifically calls for more. A single overall font change can often be more effective than multiplechanges that confuse or distract the reader. As a rule of thumb:
use no more than four formats on a page
reserve underlining for very special cases, because it can interfere with the readability oftext and imply a hyperlink
dont use ALL UPPERCASE because it is not as easy to read as lowercase or mixed caseand can be taken to imply SHOUTING
Emphasise only the keywords.
Font Formatting Tools
Because text can be added in so many ways to a document, it stands to reason that you will want
your text formatting tools on hand wherever text appears. Font tools appear on the Normaltab, inthe Mini toolbar that appears when text is selected, and when you right-click on text to display ashortcut menu.
The tools work as:
toggles, such as Bold which is either on or off
single-use buttons such as Grow Font which only ever do what their tool tip says
buttons to display a menu of choices, such as Change Case
multi-purpose tools such as Font Colourwhich can be used either to apply the displayedcolour or to display a menu of alternatives
Callout boxes are anotherexample of where text is
used and can be formatted.

CHANGING FONTS
The appearance that you choose for your text isreferred to as the fontor typeface. Fonttraditionally refers to a combination of typeface,style and size in points (e.g. Arial Bold 12 pt).
In word processing, font just refers to the typefaceor shape of the letters. Typical classic fonts include
Times New Roman, Arial, Century Gothicand
Copperplate.

One way that text can be emphasized is bychanging the sizeof the font. For example, ifyour normal text is 11 pt, you may like to makethe headings 13 pt or larger. Font size may also
be changed for small detailed items, such ascomments in a text box or a caption for a picture.Large text can be used in documents such as flyersand for cover pages.

MAKING TEXT BOLD/ITALIC/UNDERLINED
One of the most common ways of emphasisingtext is to make it bold. Bold text is darker inappearance because the letters are thicker, but itretains the same shape as normal text.
The intensity of boldtext draws the readers eye
directly to it so that they read the most importantinformation first. Like all formatting features, textmust be selected before it can be made bold.

CHANGING CASE
Caserefers to whether the uppercase (capital) orlowercase form of a letter is used. Microsoft Wordallows you to change between cases so that youdont have to retype text. Change case options
are Sentence case, where the first letter is acapital, lowercase, UPPERCASE, CapitaliseEach Word, and tOGGLE cASE, which swapsbetween upper and lower case.

Understanding Paragraphs
Aparagraphconsists of any amount of text followed by aparagraph mark. A paragraph mark iscreated when you press and is usually hidden, although you can display paragraph marks and
other formatting marks if you need to by clicking on Show/Hide in the Paragraphgroup on the
Hometab. You can even have empty paragraphs which consist of a paragraph mark and nothingelse. These are usually seen as blank lines. Paragraph marks hold the formatting for a paragraph,so if you accidentally delete a paragraph mark, the paragraph formatting of the following paragraphwill take effect.
Examples of ParagraphsThe following paragraphs are shown with the formatting marks displayed so that you can see whereparagraphs start and finish. Spaces are indicated by dots and tabs by right arrows. There are nineparagraphs below can you spot them all?
Blank line also a paragraph
Formatting Paragraphs
Because paragraph formatting affects everything in a paragraph, you do not need to select the entireparagraph to apply the formatting. As long as you are positioned somewhere in the paragraph, anyparagraph formatting you apply will affect the entire paragraph.
Creating Paragraphs
When you press and start a new paragraph, it will use the formatting of the previous paragraph
(unless specific style settings override this). This way, you can create a bulleted list and keepentering bullets until you no longer need them.

UNDERSTANDING CUTTING AND COPYING
Cutting and copyingare fundamental skills thatyou will benefit greatly from learning, when usinga word processor such as Microsoft Word. As anintegral part of creating and editing documents,
you will constantly call on these skills to achievefast and accurate results. Cutting and copyingpresent a fast and effective means for movinginformation, rather than tackling it manually.
The Concept
Conceptually, you can think of the cutting and copying processes in terms of literally using a pair ofscissors on a piece of paper or a book - the only difference with copying, is that you need toincorporate the imaginary services of a photocopier. Anyone with toddlers will no doubt picture thecutting process with clarity.
Cuttinginformation removes that content from its current location and temporarily stores it in a partof the computers memory called (appropriately) the Clipboard. When cut, the information willdisappear from the screen, so try not to be too alarmed. When you navigate to the location whereyou want the information to be moved to, you simply paste it in as you would with glue or stickytape. Once on the clipboard, information can be pasted repeatedly until, for instance, you cut or copydifferent information or close the application.
Copyinginformation makes a replica of the selected information and places that on the clipboard,so that the original content does not disappear. To check that a copy has in fact been made, asthere is no real clear indication, you can view the contents of the Clipboard.
Once activated, the Office Clipboardenables you to cut or copy 24 individual items and store themtemporarily. In this way, you can pick and choose which item to paste in to various locations.
