UNIT-3 DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION
2 APPLY EDITING FEATURES
Once a document is created, you can use different editing features to improve the quality of a document.
These features make it easy to change text without rewriting everything, saving time and effort. They help fix
spelling, grammar, making the document accurate and professional. Editing also makes the content clear and
easy to read.
EDITING TEXT
Making changes in the existing text is known as editing. After entering text in a document, the user may wish
to modify the contents. Editing a document involves inserting new text or modifying and deleting the selected
text of a document. The Edit menu provides various editing options like Undo, Redo, Cut, Select, Copy, Paste, etc.
Cursor Movement
The Text Cursor is a vertical line that keeps flashing in the body of the text document to highlight the location
of the point where the insertion of any new character will be made. The 4 arrow keys (←↑↓→) on the keyboard
are called as cursor control keys.
In LibreOffice Writer, we can efficiently use cursor movement for navigating and text editing. There are
many shortcuts for quick access to different portions of the LibreOffice Writer document. Following table
summarises the use of different keys for specific cursor movement.
