Font is the name given to different kinds of text appearance or styles and size.
Word Wrap allows a person to type on a new line automatically without hitting the
enter key.
To make a hard copy of a document is known as printing.

Selecting text means to choose a part of a document to work with by dragging over it
with the mouse to highlight words.
Overtype Mode allows the user to overwrite existing text, replacing whatever text was already there. (See
Insert Key)
Insert Mode is the opposite of Overtype Mode. Allows user to add text at location without overwriting existing
text. This mode is the default. (See Insert Key)
Formatting - Once a document has been created, you arrange how it will look by selecting the font, size, colors,
spacing and how things line up on the pages.
Line Spacing is the distance between lines of text.
To make a word or part of a document stand out from other text, we emphasize it by
Boldfacing, Italicizing or Underlining it.
Alignment refers to the way lines of text are arranged relative to the edges of a block of
text. For example, the text can be flush with the left side of the document (left aligned),
flush with the right side of the document (right aligned), or centered horizontally on the
document (centered). There is also an alignment option called justified. In text that is
justified both the right and left sides of the text will appear to line up evenly.
Header/Footer The header is one or more lines of text that appear at the top of every page of a document. The
header often includes information like names and titles. The footer consists of one or more lines of text that appear at the
bottom of every page of a document. The footer often includes the page number.

mode. When you are "Overtype" mode, you will see OVR on the Status bar at the
