This module looks at the topic of editing text and as you can see, what I've written here is that there's more than meets the eye. First off to know about editing text and moving your mouse around is that notice that the mouse pointer itself changes depending on where I am in the document. And so here it's an insertion point and I can set my cursor there, my insertion point and then I can replace text by simply hitting the delete key and typing new text. So you probably understand how to do that. If I navigate back and forth, I can do so with the Arrow keys and I can also hold down the function key to delete text to the right and then replace it just like that. Another thing that I can do is that I can give a double click on a word and if I double click a word, that selects the whole word. If I triple click, it selects the entire paragraph. So let's double click a word and change some text. Now I can select it, start typing, it automatically replaces that. Here's what's even better. So again, probably the majority of you, and I hope you're not skipping over these introductory modules because I promise you, you'll see something that you probably hadn't seen before. So I would imagine that even 60 to 80 percent of audience who's watching this already knows how to do things like that. It's pretty simple to do. If you send an email, you know this already. But here's what you may not have known. You can also insert text right there. How do you do so? Just double click to set your insertion point. How about right there? Double click and set your insertion point and then start typing, t-y-p-i-n-g. So this is a specific feature that I'm going to point out right now and that's the reason why I'm drawing attention to this module here, why I'm saying it's more than meets the eye. And you do so, this feature is configured by clicking on the word menu and by choosing Preferences. In your Word Preferences, there's a button called edit, again I'll go back, look at that one right there under your authoring and proofing tools. It's called edit and now you get a bunch of editing options that you can select. What's also very handy is that all you have to do is hover your mouse over these options and it'll tell you at the bottom the description of the preference exactly what that preference means. So when selecting automatically select the entire word, drag and drop editing, typing replaces this selection, all of those things that I just pointed out, that I just did that, again, most of us take as second nature, they're actually configurable options. Finally, the last one that I showed you was this one; click and type. Enable click and type. It's on by default but if that isn't on, and I click on OK, then I don't get the ability, as I hit the escape button here, that I don't get the ability to just select a place somewhere in my document and begin inserting text like that. That is click and type and it's a very handy feature as you're making edits to your word processing documents.
