Editing a document refers to changing the content of the document, such as adding or deleting text or moving a block of text from one location in a document to another location in that document. Most application programs that allow text editing have an insertion point that looks like a blinking vertical line on the screen and shows where the next change will be made to the document currently displayed on the screen. To insert text, just start typing and the text will appear at the insertion point location. To delete text, press the Delete key to delete one character to the right of the insertion point or press the Backspace key to delete one character to the left of the insertion point. If the insertion point is not in the proper location for the edit, it must be moved to the appropriate location in the document by using the arrow keys on the keyboard or by pointing and selecting that location with the mouse, pen, or finger. To select an object or block of text, click the object or drag over the text. Usually, once an object or some text is selected, it can be manipulated, such as to be moved, deleted, copied, or formatted.
