CLICK HERE: www.simonsezit.com/course-category/microsoft/ As a continuation of the preceding section, this lesson is about dealing with a little bit more text, such as how to get plenty of text to work on in Microsoft Word 2013. There's a cool way to do this, and Toby tells you how. Find out how to scroll through the available text if you want to find your way through a long document--whether you are using a personal computer or a touch device. If your cursor is at the bottom of the document, and you want to go back to the beginning of the document, this lesson also has you covered. Toby also discusses the concept of wrapping text and selecting text--e.g., selecting non-contiguous paragraphs, selecting all the text in the document, selecting text using mouse, and so on.

In this section, we’re going to look some more at entering and editing text. In the preceding section, we looked at some of the basics. This time we’re going to look at dealing with a little bit more text and some of the things that arise. Now in order to make things a little bit more straightforward for me and hopefully for you as well, I’m going to show you a little trick about how to get plenty of text to work on in Word 2013. If you type in a new empty document or in fact in any document this character sequence: the equal sign, then R-A-N-D, and then a pair of round brackets, and press the Enter key. What Word 2013 will do is to enter some random text into the document for you. So I’m going to press Enter now. Now I’m going to do that again. Now I’m going to do that once more and then that will be enough text for me to demonstrate what I want to demonstrate. So first of all, we’ve now got more than one page and you cannot see all of the text at once. If you’re using a mouse and keyboard, you can scroll through the available text using the scroll bar on the right, grab the bar with the mouse, and pull it up and down like that to find your way through the document. And of course, it works exactly the same as a standard Windows scroll bar. If you’re using a touch device, of course, all you need to do to scroll your way through the document is to just swipe in the normal way up and down with your finger to move through the document. Of course, you can also use the scroll bar as well if you want to. Now if you’re at one end of the document, let’s suppose I’ve got the cursor at the very end of the document, the bottom of the document. To get to the beginning, it’s basically Control and Home. Now keyboards do vary so it’s impossible to say exactly where the Home key is on your keyboard. But Control-Home will take you right to the very beginning of the document, that is it will put the cursor at the beginning of the document and Control-End will put the cursor right at the very end of the document, ready to type some more text. As I mentioned earlier, if you’ve got the cursor within a line, let’s say I put the cursor in the middle of that line, just pressing Home takes the cursor back to the start of the line and pressing End takes it to the end of the line. Now this is particularly for anybody following this course who’s not used to using a word processor at all. One of the conventional issues when you’re typing a lot of text is what happens when you’re typing and you get to the end of a line. Well in the case of Word 2013, Word automatically handles that for you by what’s called wrapping the text. When it can’t fit the word you’re typing in at the end of the line it starts a new line for you. It’s very important that you don’t watch what’s happening, get to the end of the line and then press an Enter key to start a new line yourself. You only need to press an Enter key to start a new paragraph, in which case you get the equivalent of a gap like this one where you’ve gone from one paragraph to the next. So the wrapping of text is automatic. I’ll demonstrate that now just by typing a sentence. I’ve got the cursor positioned here to the right of the word Device with a full stop at the end of that paragraph and I’m just going to type a sentence to demonstrate the wrapping of text when it gets to the right hand of a line here.
