Formatting: The process of formatting a document involves specifying how the document will look in its final form on the screen and when printed. Common formatting options include the font, font size, color, alignment, spacing, margins and other properties. One common use of the header is to include information about the document such as the title on every page in the document. When an item is highlighted or selected the next action whether it be formatting, deleting, copying, or cutting will typically only affect that item.
Items are usually highlighted selected using the mouse by clicking in the starting position and holding down the mouse button and dragging to the end of the area that you want to select.
Most word processors allow for both left and right indentation. One other common use of indention is what is known as a "first line indent" where only the first line of a paragraph is indented and the remaining lines of text lie directly against the left margin of the page.
To place the insertion point to a new location in your document, you would move your mouse pointer to the new location and click the left mouse button once. The flashing insertion point should now appear in the new location and any text typed or object inserted will be placed there. The two types of orientation in word processing are portrait and landscape. Portrait orientation is where the height of the page is greater than the width. Landscape orientation, on the other hand, has a greater width than height the page is turned on its side.
Legal Size: The term "Legal" in the page layout area of a word processing application refers to the size of the paper being used to print the document. The dimensions of legal sized paper are 8. Letter Size: The term "Letter" in the page layout area of a word processing application refers to the size of the paper being used to print the document.
The dimensions of letter sized paper are 8. Line Spacing: Line spacing refers to the amount of white space between lines of text in a paragraph.
Commonly used line spacing settings are single spaced and double spaced. Margin settings can be adjusted to include more or less space around the edge of the page and left, right, top and bottom margins can be changed independently of one another. Menu Bar: The menu bar typically appears at the top of the word processing application's window and contains a listing of the main commands in the form of text.
Most text editors allow you to move the insertion point by using the arrow keys or by clicking somewhere else within the text document. You can select a block of text by holding the Shift key while clicking in a different location within the text.
This will select the text between the insertion point and the place where you clicked. You can typically change the current insertion point by clicking in a different location within a text field or word processing document. This allows you to insert or delete text wherever you click.
You can also create a text selection by clicking and dragging the cursor over a block of text. When text is selected, the insertion point becomes the entire selection, meaning the next character typed will replace the currently selected text.

There are several ways to move an insertion point. The I-beam shows where your mouse pointer is. The blinking insertion poin t shows where your next word will be once you start typing. When you are in a Word document , your pointer changes from an arrow to an I-beam. Once the pointer leaves the Word document to perform a Windows function, it changes back into an arrow.
