MASTERING WORD PROCESSING

USING APPROPRIATE EDITING FEATURES TO


STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZE A DOCUMENT

Useful tools that are available in all office application


programs are the block operations: cut, copy, paste and
drag-and-drop.

 DRAG - AND - DROP EDITING (BLOCK


OPERATIONS)

One advantage of word processing is the ability to move


sections of text (a block) from one part of the document
to another.

Word processing packages use the clipboard to manage


the cut, copy and paste operations. The clipboard is a
temporary area of memory where applicants can store
items for future use.

Cut and copy have a similar function, which is to place


the selected content onto the clipboard. The difference is
that the cut operation takes the content out of the original
position in the document and the copy operation leaves

the content in the original position. Paste copies the


contents of the clipboard into the document at the current
cursor position.

Print screen takes an exact copy of what is on your


screen and places it on the clipboard.

 SEARCH AND REPLACE FUNCTION

As documents become longer, it is useful to be able to


find particular words quickly.

Word processing programs can automatically locate


words in a document. It is also possible to find and
replace all occurrences of a sequence of characters with
another.

The find and replace features of word processors can


quickly find text, or replace text with alternative text.

 USING TABLES AND TABLE FORMATTING

Tables consisting of rows and columns, are useful for


organizing and displaying data .

Text is written in the cells and these cells may be


resized, merged and coloured, or may even have borders.

 USING COLUMNS

Word processors allow you to divide your document into


columns. This can enhance your document, improving
the appearance and making it easier to read.

The use of columns is a paragraph-formatting feature; it


allows you to organize content into two or more
columns.

It is particularly useful when creating newsletters,


brochures, magazines and other similar documents.

A column break works in the same way as a page break.


Inserting a column break forces a new column to be
started.
