Insert, Delete, or Rearrange Text
In the previous topic, you navigated within a document and selected document text. You can
use these basic navigation and selection skills to insert, delete, or rearrange text as needed. In
this topic, you will insert, delete, and rearrange text.
You want the content in your document to be as clear as possible. That’s not always the case
after typing a first draft. As you enter text, you often type the words as they crystallize in your
thoughts. Once you’ve reviewed a document, chances are that you will want to add or delete
text or rearrange existing text to clarify the message you are trying to convey.
