Word 2000 Introduction


 

Moving Around in a Document

Text in a Word 2000 is always entered at the insertion point. Generally, the insertion point moves along the document as you type, just like a typewriter moves back and forth as you type on it. When you get to the end of a line, the insertion point will automatically move to the next line. If the insertion point was in the middle of a word when it hits the end of a line, that word will wrap around to the next line. Text can be entered at any point in a document. You can use your mouse to click where the insertion point to go. You may also use the keyboard to move the insertion point. The following lists some of the ways to move the insertion point around in your document:

LEFT ARROW Moves the insertion point one character to the left
RIGHT ARROW Moves the insertion point one arrow to the right
UP ARROW Moves the insertion point one line higher
DOWN ARROW Moves the insertion point one line lower
[HOME] Moves the insertion point to the beginning of the line
[END] Moves the insertion point to the end of the line
[CTRL] + [HOME] Moves the insertion point to the beginning of the document
[CTRL] + [END] Moves the insertion point to the end of the document
[PAGE UP] Moves the insertion point one screen up
[PAGE DOWN] Moves the insertion point one screen down

In Word 2000, you can also double-click the pointer to place the insertion point at any place you wish in the document, even in the middle or the right side of the document. Where you place the pointer determines which way text will be aligned. <Click here> to see a video demonstration of this. (430K)
