• Position the cursor after the last letter you wish to change and press MARK
END ( ).
You can change the markings — simply move the cursor to a new place
and press MARK START or MARK END again and the start or end point will
move to the new location. The mark characters always show you what text is
marked.
The cursor changes to a "fat cursor" ( ) when text is marked. This is
handy when marked text is out of view, to let you know that changes could
affect off-screen text.
You can remove the marks completely by pressing UNDO.
Marking Whole Lines and
Pages
If you want to copy, move, or other-
wise change an entire line of text, place
the MARK START character at the end of
the preceding line, rather than placing at
the start of the line you want. This way,
the marked selection includes the invis-
ible NEW LINE character that created
the line. This character "contains" the
characteristics of the line following it, so
when the line is copied or moved, the
characteristics will come along.
Hint: To mark all the text on a page,
press SHIFT while you press MARK START
followed by SHIFT + MARK END. To mark
all text on all pages, press COMMAND as
you press MARK START followed by COM-
MAND + MARK END.
Deleting Marked Text
Press DELETE immediately after marking text and the marked text will
disappear. To prevent accidental erasure, the cursor must be located just after
one of the marks.
If you accidentally press DELETE, press UNDO immediately and the text
will come back.
Replacing Marked Text
To replace a block of text with something new, mark the text and delete it
as described above. The cursor will remain where the deleted text was so you
can type something new to replace it.

Holmes .... K. Miller
Watson .... A. M arion
In this example, the cursor is
located in the word "Marion" and
the word "Watson" is marked.
Because the MARK START
symbol ( ) is located on the
previous line, the NEW LINE after
"Miller" is included within the
marked selection. If this selection is
copied, the color and other
characteristics of the "Watson" line
