MS Word is a handy editor with which you can create text documents, web pages, graphs and tables. A special menu "Edit" allows you to make changes and corrections to the finished files.
Instructions
Step 1
To open a document, choose the Open command from the File menu, specify the network path to the file and click the Open button. To select a fragment of text that needs correction, move the cursor to its beginning, hold down the left mouse button and drag to the desired place.
Step 2
The same result can be achieved using the keyboard. Select the beginning of the fragment with the mouse, hold down the Shift key and click elsewhere in the document. The text in this gap will be selected. If you use the Shift + Alt combination, the selection will appear as a rectangular block
Step 3
If you want to select a single word, double-click on it with the left key. To mark a sentence, hold down Ctrl on the keyboard and click any word from this sentence. To select the entire document in the "Edit" menu, choose the "Select All" command.
Step 4
To replace the selected text with the new one, in the "Tools" menu, select the "Options" command and go to the "Edit" tab. Check the box "Replace selected text as you type." If you clear this check box, you will have to delete the old text first and then enter the new one
Step 5
To delete characters, use the Delete and Backspace keys (located above the Enter key and looks like an arrow pointing from right to left). Delete erases the text to the right of the cursor, Backspace - to the left. The selection will be deleted completely.
Step 6
Portions of text can be moved within a document and transferred to other documents. Select a fragment, move the cursor over it, hold down the left mouse button and, without releasing it, drag it to another place. If you use the right key, then the text can not only be moved, but also copied and made a hyperlink. For this, select the required commands from the drop-down menu.
Step 7
It is convenient to drag the text with the mouse only over short distances. It will not work to place it in another document in this way. For this purpose, the clipboard is used - a special memory area of the Word editor. If you want to copy a piece of text, select it and press Ctrl + C on your keyboard. Then go to a new document, place the cursor in the desired place and press Ctrl + V. Perhaps you need to delete a fragment from one document and move it to another, i.e. cut and paste. In this case, use the combination Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V.
Step 8
If you want to prevent other users from editing your documents, in the "Tools" menu, select the "Set Protection" command. You can allow outsiders to make some changes: - Record corrections; - Insert notes; - Enter data into form fields. Only those to whom you provide the password can edit the document. The password is set when setting up protection.
Step 9
In Word 2007, it is possible to protect only a portion of the text. Select a fragment that will be available for editing by other users. In the "Tools" menu, choose "Protect Document". The protection settings window appears in the right part. In section “2. Restriction on editing”select the type of restriction. In section “3. Enable protection "click" Yes, enable ".
