00:00:07.109 --> 00:00:09.410
Okay, so today is the day.

00:00:09.410 --> 00:00:12.330
I'm applying for a new job and I'm working
on my cover letter.

00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:16.320
I've already written a lot of the letter,
but I need to make some changes.

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.270
Let's start by inserting some new text.

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:20.000
It's really simple.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.640
All you need to do is move your mouse to the
location you want to add the text, and left-click

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:25.640
it.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:26.770
The insertion point appears.

00:00:26.770 --> 00:00:29.860
Now, I can just type the text I need.

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:34.980
Anytime you make a mistake, you can just use
the backspace key or the delete key to correct

00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:36.550
your mistake.

00:00:36.550 --> 00:00:41.270
There may be times you want to move text from
one location in the document to another.

00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:44.130
There are several ways you can do this.

00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:48.160
One way is to copy text and paste it in another
place in the document.

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:53.040
For example, let's copy "with Telephone, Inc."
from the first sentence and place it in the

00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.190
last paragraph of the letter.

00:00:55.190 --> 00:00:58.610
To do this, you first need to select the text.

00:00:58.610 --> 00:01:03.370
Place the insertion point next to the text
you wish to select and left-click your mouse

00:01:03.370 --> 00:01:06.890
and drag it over the text you wish to select.

00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:10.170
Then, release the mouse button.

00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:11.710
See how the text is highlighted?

00:01:11.710 --> 00:01:13.040
That means you've selected the text.

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.360
Very good!

00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:16.490
Okay, this is worth mentioning.

00:01:16.490 --> 00:01:18.020
This little box that appears?

00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:22.630
This is the Hover Toolbar and whenever I select
text, the Hover Toolbar comes up and it gives

00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:23.630
me other options.

00:01:23.630 --> 00:01:26.369
But, we're going to highlight that a little
later, so let's keep going.

00:01:26.369 --> 00:01:31.140
Once the text is selected, click the Copy
button on the Home tab.

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:36.560
Now, just place your insertion point where
you want the text, and click the Paste button

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.560
and ta-da!

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.430
Your text appears!

00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:43.100
This is great when you're copying and pasting
large amounts of text.

00:01:43.100 --> 00:01:46.420
You can also move text by Dragging and Dropping.

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:50.640
Let's say you wanted to move this sentence
"Thank you for your consideration" to the

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.220
end of the letter.

00:01:52.220 --> 00:01:54.670
First, select the sentence.

00:01:54.670 --> 00:02:00.220
Then, left-click your mouse and drag it to
the location you wish the sentence to appear.

00:02:00.220 --> 00:02:04.330
You'll notice the pointer arrow appears as
you are dragging.

00:02:04.330 --> 00:02:07.720
Release the mouse button and you've moved
your sentence!

00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:13.470
Not only can you move sentences, you can move
words, paragraphs, or any text on the page.

00:02:13.470 --> 00:02:17.950
Sometimes you will find you can't copy and
paste or drag and drop an item exactly where

00:02:17.950 --> 00:02:19.120
you want it to appear.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.239
It just happened in this case.

00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:24.180
So,
get as close as you can, and then use your

00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:28.290
Enter key to move the text to its desired
location.

00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:32.930
Now, everything's in place, and I want to
make some changes to my font.

00:02:32.930 --> 00:02:38.090
Since I want to change the text of my entire
document, I should select all of the text.

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:43.681
I can do this by using my mouse, or in the
Editing group, choose Select and then Select

00:02:43.681 --> 00:02:45.540
All.

00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:48.700
This selects the text in my entire document.

00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:51.620
Now I'm ready to look at my font choices.

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:56.300
Let's go to the font drop-down box on the
Home tab and move the cursor over some the

00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:57.820
various fonts.

00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:03.020
There are a lot of different font choices,
the Live Preview features let me see how my

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:07.160
document would look in the various fonts before
I select one.

00:03:07.160 --> 00:03:09.120
Mmm, this one looks good!

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.970
Now to my font size: 10, 11, 12.

00:03:12.970 --> 00:03:17.560
I think the standard is somewhere between
10 and 12, so I will choose 11.

00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.600
Now, my font color.

00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:20.600
Hot pink!

00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:23.629
Well, this IS a cover letter, so maybe I shouldn't
choose hot pink.

00:03:23.629 --> 00:03:24.999
I should just stick to black.
