Create Or Edit A Document
Overview
Almost every practical task in ICT begins with a document: a letter, a report, a newsletter, a poster. Creating one is easy. Editing it accurately, moving text without leaving a double space behind, dropping in a table or a chart so it sits exactly where it belongs, is where real skill shows. The examiner is watching for 100 per cent accuracy, because a single mistyped word or a stray blank line can cost a mark even when everything else is perfect.
In this lesson you will learn how to create a new document or open an existing one safely, enter and modify text and numbers, and use the core editing techniques: highlight, delete, move, cut, copy, paste and drag and drop. You will also learn to place objects from many sources, from images and screenshots to tables, charts, spreadsheet extracts and database extracts, and to wrap text neatly around them.
