• Tutorial 2 Editing and Formatting a Document

2
Check spelling and grammar

• Word's Spelling and Grammar checker highlights
  typing errors in red and grammatical errors in
  green as you type.
• If you open an existing document, you can still
  use the checker to locate errors.
• As the checker proceeds through the document, it
  will stop at each error it finds and suggest one
  or more possible corrections.

Proofread your document
Although the Spelling and Grammar checker can
find obvious mistakes in your document, you
should always proofread the document very
carefully. In the figure below, the word too is
written where it should be two. Since too is
spelled correctly, it is not flagged as an error,
but it is still incorrect.

Select and delete text

• You can use different methods to select text with
  the mouse or keyboard.
• Use the mouse to quickly select any amount of
  texta letter, a line, or the entire document.
• To select a single line or more, click in the
  selection bar, which is the blank space in the
  left margin where the cursor turns into an arrow.
  
• After the text is selected, you can perform many
  actions, including deleting the highlighted text
  by pressing the Delete key.

Move text within the document

• The ability to move text within a document is a
  timesaving editing feature.
• Moving text, compared to retyping the same amount
  of text, makes it much easier to reorganize a
  document.
• Dragging and dropping text enables you to move
  small or large amounts of text with a few mouse
  clicks.

8
Drag-and-drop text
To drag and drop text, first select the text to
be moved.
Next, press and hold down the mouse button until
the pointer changes into the drag-and-drop
pointer shown below.
Finally, drag the text to its new location and
release the mouse button.
9
Cut, copy and paste text

• Cutting or copying and then pasting text is
  another way to move text from one location to
  another.
• Cutting text removes it from its original
  location
• Pasting places it in a new location
• Copying leaves the text in its original location,
  but places a copy of the text in the new location
  when you paste
• Cut and copied items are stored on the Clipboard.
• In Word 2003, a maximum of 24 items can be stored
  on the Clipboard.

Using the clipboard
11
Find and replace text

• The Find feature enables you to locate a word or
  phrase in a document.
• The Replace feature enables you to automatically
  change the word or phrase after it is found.
• You can set the options to automatically replace
  every occurrence of the text or to only replace
  individually selected occurrences.
• Delete a recurring word by searching for the word
  and replacing it with nothing or a space.
• You can also change the document's appearance by
  replacing a font, a special character, or the
  appearance of the text (bold, italic, etc.).

12
Use Find and Replace
13
Change margins, line spacing, alignment, and
paragraph indents

• Margins affect the amount of white space between
  the type and the edge of the paper.
• Line spacing, which you can change using the Line
  Spacing button on the Formatting toolbar,
  determines the amount of white space between
  lines of type.
• Text alignment identifies how the text lines up
  between the left and right margins.
• Paragraph indents change where text starts and
  stops on each horizontal line without changing
  the margins.
• Indents are most often applied to the first line
  of a paragraph, but entire paragraphs can be
  indented for various reasons.

Copy formatting with the Format Painter

• The Format Painter copies formatting from one
  paragraph to another in three steps
• Select the entire formatted paragraph
• Click the Format Painter button (double-click to
  apply the format to multiple items), and then use
  the mouse pointer to select the item(s) you want
  to format
• Click in the paragraph to be formatted. The
  format is copied to the second paragraph
• Click the Format Painter button again to turn the
  function off.

Using the Format Painter

Emphasize points with bullets, numbering,
boldface, underlining, and italics

• Bullets and numbers make lists stand out from the
  rest of the document.
• Click the Bullets or Numbering button on the
  Formatting toolbar to add bullets or numbers to
  each paragraph.
• If you add or remove an item in a numbered list,
  Word will automatically adjust the numbers.
• Text can also be emphasized and made clearer
  through the use of bolding, underlining, and
  italicizing.

22
Use a bulleted list to organize data
23
Change fonts and adjust font sizes

• Important text, such as titles or headings,
  should look different from the regular text in a
  document.
• Do this by making the title or headings larger or
  selecting a different font.
• Fonts are classified as serif or sans serif
• Traditionally, documents use a serif font for the
  main text and a sans serif font for headings
• Draw attention to specific words by using the
  buttons on the Formatting toolbar to make the
  words bold, underlined, or italic.
• A quick way to alter either the font or the font
  size is to access the font list or the font size
  list. These drop-down lists allow you to quickly
  change the font/font size.

Previewing Formatted Text

• Its helpful to preview a document after
  formatting it, because the Print Preview window
  makes it easy to spot text that is not aligned
  correctly.
• To preview and print a document, press CtrlHome,
  click the Print Preview button on the Standard
  toolbar, click the One Page button on the Print
  Preview toolbar, and examine the document.
• Click the Print button on the Print Preview
  toolbar.

Add a comment to a document

• A comment is an electronic way of attaching a
  note about a certain word or section of the text,
  much as you would write a note in the margins of
  a paper document.
• You can insert, edit, and delete comments without
  affecting the document.
• Insert comments at any point in the text.
• Select sections of the text to indicate that your
  comment references all of the text selected.
• Comments can also be viewed as ScreenTips or, if
  you alter the default settings, as margin notes.

Using the Research Task Pane

• The Research task pane provides a number of
  research tools, including a thesaurus, an
  Internet search engine, and access to the Encarta
  Encyclopedia and Dictionary
• To take full advantage, your computer must be
  connected to the Internet
• Select the text you wish to research, and click
  the Research button on the Standard toolbar
