Editing Documents
Editing documents in Word is just as simple as entering text in a blank document. By clicking within the body of the document, you can add text. By default, Overwriting is turned off, which means text to the right of the insertion point will be moved to the right. It is important to note, however, that if you highlight part of your document and then start typing, the highlighted portion will be deleted and the new text will appear in its place; it doesn’t matter whether you have hard returns, images, tables, or text highlighted, the results will be the same. In the event you accidentally delete part of your document, you can use the Undo feature (ctrl+z) to undo up to 100 changes you have made to your document.
If you want to delete portions of your document, you can simply highlight the portion you would like to delete and press the delete key; unless you’ve changed Word options, Word will automatically correct the spacing at the point of the deletion. To delete individual elements of your document, you have two options: The delete key will delete objects to the right of the insertion point, while the backspace key will delete objects to the left of the insertion point.
