LESSON 2 WORKING

WITH TEXT
 TEXT BASICS
Before changing the look of text, let us know how
to edit first, Here is an example title that Sophia
made:

My Vacation in LAGUNA
What appealing text can we also make?
Let us learn how to do them all
 TEXT SELECTION
The first step when editing and formatting any
text is to choose the text.
The common way of selecting text is through these steps:
1. Place the insertion point before the first or last
letter of the word.
2. Select and drag the mouse to the last
letter of the last word.
3. Release the mouse button
4. Notice that the selected text is
highlighted with color gray
 TEXT DELETION
There are two (2) keys that we can use to remove text:
Backspace and Delete keys. These are useful as we edit
our document.

Backspace is used to remove text to the left of the

insertion point, Delete on the other hand, is used to
erase text to the right o the insertion point.
 UNDO AND REDO CHANGES
There are times that after editing our text or document,
we want to go back and use their previous form instead.
To do this, we use Undo and Redo commands.

Aside from this, we can use their shortcut

keys: CTRL + Z for Undo and CTRL + Y for Redo.
 TEXT FORMATTING
To change the appearance of the text, from the
Home tab, we use the commands in the Font group.
To view more options, we select the Dialog box launcher
(tiny box with an arrow inside).
Again, we have to select our text first before formatting it.
