INSERTING TEXT
Inserting text is very easy on your system. Basically, you place the cursor at the
position where the text should be inserted and type the new text.
If
you add text to a
paragraph that is already typed, you'll need to use the reformat paragraph command
after typing the new text.
This command will rearrange the line endings in the
paragraph.
When you insert a new paragraph in front of existing text, you can use the insert line
here command before you type the new text.
This command tells the system to
insert a carrier return to separate the new text from the existing text.

You may type
now
-or- give a command using CTRL
+
(my key
shown
above).
The "insert mode" should be left ON for most editing. When it is on, the message
INSER T ON shows at the top of the screen.
If
you turn the insert mode OFF, any
characters you type will replace (strikeover) characters on the screen, thus erasing
them. The insert mode (on/off) command is used to turn the insert mode on or off.
Read the steps below to see how inserting text works. Use the practice exercise on
page 4-6 to practice on a document file.
