Word Lessons

Chapter 3
To and Fro in a Document
Vertical Scroll Bar
• Elevator button:
• Its position on the scroll bar reflects the location of the text you see

• Because the elevator button’s size reflects how much of the

document appears in the window, the button grows smaller as
your document grows longer.

• Using the scroll bar to scroll through your document doesn’t

move the insertion pointer. If you start typing, don't be surprised
when Word jumps back to where the insertion pointer lurks.
Horizontal Scroll Bar
• When your document is wider than can be displayed in the window, a
horizontal scroll bar appears. It shows up at the bottom of the document part of
the window, just above the status bar.

• Word automatically slides the document left and right as you type, but that
action can be jarring. Instead,
• try to adjust the horizontal scroll bar to display as much of the text as possible.
• Or, if you can, enlarge the document window to make it wider.
• Or, use the Zoom tool to fit the document on your screen
Use Touch Pad or Mouse Wheel to Scroll
• Touch Pad: Use two finger slide to scroll up/down, or left/right

• Mouse Wheel:
• Roll the wheel to scroll up and down
• Click the wheel, then move your mouse up/down or left/right
Moving the Insertion Pointer
• The easiest way to put the insertion pointer exactly where
you want it is to click the mouse at that spot in the text.
Point. Click.

• For short hops, nothing beats using the keyboard’s cursor

keys to quickly move the insertion pointer around a
document.

• Command-Up: Previous Paragraph

Command-Down: Next Paragraph

• Command-Left: Beginning of a line of text

Command-Right: End of a line of text

• Option-Left: Start of previous word

Option-Right: Start of next word
Moving the Insertion Pointer (Cont…)
• Fn-Up: Up one window full of text or to the tippy-top of the document if you're
near there
Fn-Down: Down one window full of text or to the end of the document if you're
near there

• Fn-Option-Up: Beginning of Document

Fn-Option-Down: End of Document
Find a Text in the Document
• Looking for text in your document? The Find pane helps you find
characters, words, and phrases. If you want, you can also replace it
 with different text.

• To open the Find pane press Command+F, or click Home > Find.

• Find text by typing it in the Search the document for… box. Word

Web App starts searching as soon as you start typing. To further
narrow the search results, click the magnifying glass and select one
or both of the search options.
• Match case: exactly the capitalization
• Find whole word only: only find whole word that fully match the phrase
we type, not including words whose contain the phrase

• Use the Up/Down button to navigate multiple matches

Use Follow-ups
• Maintain your train of thought by leaving follow-ups in the document

• To start a follow-up, right-click and select New Follow-up.

• You can also type a left and right bracket [] to start a follow-up.

• Type your follow-up, and then press Tab when you’re done. The follow-up will be
highlighted in yellow.

• To resolve a follow-up, select it and select Resolve Follow-up. The follow-up will

disappear.

• To see a list of all follow-ups, select one and select 

See all Follow-ups. Select one to jump to that part of the
document. Or, you can also press Command-G

She stood in the doorway, shepherded by
Cousin Marija, breathless from pushing
through the crowd, and in her happiness
painful to look upon. There was a light of
wonder in her eyes and her lids trembled,
and her otherwise wan little face was
flushed. She wore a muslin dress,
conspicuously white, and a stiff little
veil coming to her shoulders. There were
five pink paper roses twisted in the veil,
and eleven bright green rose leaves. There
were new white cotton gloves upon her
hands, and as she stood staring about her
she twisted them together feverishly. It
was almost too much for her--you could see
the pain of too great emotion in her face,
and all the tremor of her form. She was so
young--not quite sixteen--and small for her
age, a mere child; and she had just been
married--and married to Jurgis, of all men,
to Jurgis Rudkus, he with the white flower
in the buttonhole of his new black suit, he
with the mighty shoulders and the giant
