00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:20.650
The foundation of text in Word 2010 is simple:
just click where you want your text, and type.

00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:27.750
If you make a mistake like I did, that's okay
- you can use backspace or delete to fix it.

00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:33.140
There may be a time when you need to work
with the text that's already in your document,

00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:37.870
maybe to copy and paste it, or to move it
to a different location. The first thing you

00:00:37.870 --> 00:00:42.350
need to know is how to select text.

00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:47.379
The text I'd like to select here is "at AdWorks"
in the first sentence of the sales report

00:00:47.379 --> 00:00:54.379
I'm working on. Just click, hold, and drag
your mouse over the text, then let go. See

00:00:54.449 --> 00:01:00.180
how it's highlighted blue? That means the
text is selected. And this little box is the

00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:07.180
hover toolbar, which gives you access to the
formatting options we go over in another lesson.

00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:14.720
Let's try copy and paste now that we have
our text selected. Just click Copy, choose

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:22.650
where you want the text to go, then Paste.
You can also get to these commands by right-clicking

00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:30.490
in the document. For example, to cut and paste,
select your text, now right-click, then choose

00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:35.860
Cut. The original text will disappear, and
you'll be able to paste it anywhere you want

00:01:35.860 --> 00:01:41.460
by right-clicking again. The Paste Options
determine how it's going to look - ranging

00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:47.350
from exactly like the original, to the same
text but without any formatting. I'm going

00:01:47.350 --> 00:01:54.020
to keep the formatting because I like how
the company name sort of has its own look.

00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:58.670
If you want to move a selection of text from
one place to another, you can use the drag

00:01:58.670 --> 00:02:05.310
and drop technique. First select the text;
now click, hold, and drag it where you want

00:02:05.310 --> 00:02:10.420
it to go. If it ends up somewhere other than
what you had in mind, you can hit Enter to

00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:14.750
move it to a new line. There, that looks good.

00:02:14.750 --> 00:02:20.739
Finally, in a long document like this one,
I sometimes have trouble finding a specific

00:02:20.739 --> 00:02:26.379
word or phrase I know is in there somewhere.
The Find feature can help by searching the

00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:33.180
document for you. Click Find in the upper
right, type the word or phrase you're looking

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:40.450
for here, and the results will show up below
- and be highlighted yellow.

00:02:40.450 --> 00:02:45.599
You can choose Replace instead to find text
but replace it with something else. I actually

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.599
need to change the month on this report from
January to February. Now click Find Next and

00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:00.090
Replace. Replace All can save even more time
by changing every instance in the document

00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:03.840
automatically.

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:10.819
Now you know the basics, including cut, copy,
and paste; drag and drop; and find and replace,

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:17.819
everything you need to work with text in Word
2010.
