Microsoft Word 2002
Students will learn to move text within a document. This is not something students will do often; however, it is an important skill to learn. In the advanced lessons, students will use the same keystrokes learned here to highlight, copy and move text from one program to another.
These commands can be performed by going through the Edit Menu, (Alt, e, c to copy text) however it is easier and more efficient to use the short cut keys. In addition, the cut, copy, and paste commands are accepted in virtually any application within Windows. The undo and redo commands, are not as widely accepted and should be tested before expecting them to work in applications other than MS Word.
Keystrokes:
· Ctrl-x will cut highlighted text and place it on the "clipboard"
· Ctrl-c will copy highlighted text and place it on the "clipboard"
· Ctrl-v will paste text saved to the clipboard into the document at the cursor location.
· Ctrl-z will undo the last keystroke
· Ctrl-y will redo the last undo
Have the student open a document in Microsoft Word 200297. Have the student enter his name on the top line.
