00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:14.199
The 
foundation of text in Word is simple: just
click on your document, and type.

00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:18.270
You can use the space bar on your keyboard
to add spaces… and if you want to start

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:21.460
a new line, just press Enter.

00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:27.599
If you make a mistake like I did, that's okay.
You can press backspace or delete to fix it.

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:33.300
You can also use your keyboard’s arrow keys
to move the insertion point up, down, left,

00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:39.030
or right. This is useful if you only need
to move a few spaces or lines at a time, but

00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:41.960
you can also jump over entire.

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.059
Hold the Control key and press the left or
right arrow keys to jump over one word at

00:00:46.059 --> 00:00:48.289
a time.

00:00:48.289 --> 00:00:52.559
There may come a time when you need to work
with text in your document, maybe to copy

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:56.760
and paste it, or to move it to a different
location. To do that, you need to know how

00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:58.929
to select text first.

00:00:58.929 --> 00:01:04.100
The text I'd like to select is the business
name—H2O. You can see it here at the top

00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:11.070
of the list. Just click, hold, and drag your
mouse over the text, then let go. See how

00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:15.150
it's highlighted gray? That means the text
is selected.

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:19.720
This little box is the hover toolbar, which
gives you easy access to formatting options,

00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:23.050
like font color, size, and more.

00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:27.920
There’s actually more than one way to select
text. You can use the method I just showed

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.600
you, or you can move the cursor to the left
of your text until it becomes a right-slanted

00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:37.750
arrow. If you position the arrow to the left
of the line you want to highlight and click

00:01:37.750 --> 00:01:44.440
once… you’ll select that line of text.
You can click and drag up or down to select

00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:46.750
as many lines as you want.

00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:52.150
To select all of the text in an entire file,
go to the Select command on the Home tab…

00:01:52.150 --> 00:01:58.220
And choose Select All… Pressing the Control
key and A key on your keyboard at the same

00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:01.990
time will also select all text.

00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:07.510
Now that we know how to select text, let’s
try copy and paste. Just click the Copy command

00:02:07.510 --> 00:02:15.510
on the ribbon… choose where you want the
text to go… then click Paste.

00:02:15.510 --> 00:02:20.810
You can also get to these commands by right-clicking
in the document. For example, to cut and paste,

00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:30.420
start by selecting your text… then right-click…
and choose Cut. The original text will disappear,

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:34.459
and now we can paste it anywhere we want by
right-clicking again.

00:02:34.459 --> 00:02:39.569
Paste Options determine how the text is going
to look—ranging from exactly like the original,

00:02:39.569 --> 00:02:44.060
to the same text but without any formatting.
I'm going to keep the formatting because I

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:48.609
like the way it looks with each item on the
list.

00:02:48.609 --> 00:02:52.659
If you want to move a selection of text from
one place to another, you can use the drag

00:02:52.659 --> 00:02:59.760
and drop method. Let's skip to the bottom
of the document so I can show you how it works.

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:06.340
First select the text you want to move. Now
click, hold, and drag where you want it to

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:13.959
go. You may need to do some rearranging to
make to make sure it ends up the way you want.

00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:17.609
If you make a mistake or change your mind,
you can use the Undo button on the toolbar

00:03:17.609 --> 00:03:24.769
to undo the last action. To the right is the
redo button. This allows you to reverse the

00:03:24.769 --> 00:03:27.999
last undo.

00:03:27.999 --> 00:03:32.359
And here's a tip if you ever need an unusual
symbol in one of your documents; for example,

00:03:32.359 --> 00:03:38.480
a copyright symbol. I actually need to add
a Trademark symbol after the company slogan.

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.329
All you have to do is go to the Insert tab…
then click the Symbol command… and find

00:03:45.329 --> 00:03:48.189
the symbol you need.

00:03:48.189 --> 00:03:54.599
Now you know the basics, including cut, copy,
and paste; drag and drop; undo and redo…

00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.799
everything you need to work with text in Word.
