Opening an existing file.
Download the following document and save it to your pc.
Brochure 02.doc
Once it is saved go to the folder containing the document and open it with
word.Navigating
through a document
Now, we all know how to move around a document using the arrow keys, left
and right or up and down. There are a few short cuts you should know
also.
Click after the letter "M" in the word "Meetings" in the second paragraph.
Press the left arrow key and move to in front of the "M" then the right
arrow key so you are directly after the "M". If you aren't familiar with
the other arrow keys try them now just come back to just after the "M"
when you are done.
Now the key you may not know:
Hold the Ctrl key and press the right arrow - you should have just moved
to the beginning of the next word.
Press Ctrl+left arrow you now move to the beginning of the word "Meetings"
So using the Ctrl key and a arrow key moves you to the beginning of the
next word in that direction.
Try this one, press the "End" key and you zip to the end of the line,
press "Home" to zip back to the beginning of the line.
Now catch this trick, hold the Ctrl key and press "Home". Try again
except press the "End" key. Ok it is no big deal in a 1 page
document but it can be when you are writing that 200 page cookbook you
next year.
Inserting text
Now that you can move around a document in different ways let's move
to the last line of the first paragraph, click just before the word
"skills". Insert the word "individual" and press the space bar. |

Selecting text
Most of us know haw to select text by dragging the mouse over it while
holding the button but there are other sometimes easier ways to select
text.
Try some of theses in the open file:
To select a word try double clicking anywhere in the word
To select a line of text click in the space to the left of the line
To select a whole sentence hold down the Ctrl key and click anywhere in
the sentence
To select a paragraph triple click anywhere in the paragraph
To select the entire document triple click anywhere in the space to the
left of the text
These selecting methods will come in handy in the future.Fixing and
Replacing text

Words miss spelled or unknown to the dictionary will be underlined in red.
You may want to add Contoso to your dictionary . To add words to the
dictionary you click in the word and then click with the right mouse
button. When the popup menu appears find the "Add to dictionary"
option and click on it. All instances of the word should no longer
be underlined. While here also correct the other errors underlined in
blue.
