Microsoft Word Document Basic Features

In this tutorial, I will provide you the brief description about Basic feature of Microsoft Word Document. Microsoft Word has many feature s and in this section, it will covers typing, using the Backspace key, using the Delete key, inserting text, bolding, underlining, and italicizing.

Type, Backspace, and Delete

In Microsoft Word, you create documents by typing with keyboard. For example, if you want to create a document, you open Microsoft Word and then begin typing. You do not have to do anything when your text reaches the end of a line and you want to move to a new line—Microsoft Word automatically moves your text to a new line.  If you want to start a new paragraph, press Enter. Microsoft word creates a blank line to indicate the start of a new paragraph.  If you make a mistake, you can delete what you typed and then type your correction.

You can use the Backspace key to delete. Each time you press the Backspace key, Microsoft Word deletes the character that precedes the insertion point. The insertion point is the point at which your mouse pointer or the cursor is located. You can also delete text by using the Delete key.

Insert

While creating your document, you may find you need to insert text—place new text between existing texts. For instance, you type the sentence, "What is Word?"  After typing it, you decide you want to change the sentence to "What is Microsoft Word." With Microsoft Word, inserting a word, phrase, or even several paragraphs is easy.

Bold, Italic, and Underlines

When creating a document, you may need to emphasize particular words or phrases by bolding, underlining, or italicizing. Also, certain grammatical constructs require that you bold, underline, or italicize.  You can bold, underline, and italicize when using Word. You also can combine these features—in other words; you can bold, underline, and italicize a single piece of text.

Copy, cut and Paste

While working on a document, you may need to copy or move the texts from one location to another. Microsoft Word provides you the Copy, Cut and Paste command to work with this.

Find and Replace

While working on editing a document you come across a situation very frequently when you want to search a particular word in your document and many times you will be willing to replace this word with another word at all the few or all the places throughout of the document.  You can use Find and Replace command.
