EDIT
Most simple editing can be accomplished by using the Backspace key and the Del/Ins
keys. When you need to change larger blocks of text, use the block editing features.
The Edit menu is for editing blocks of text.
Defining a Block
The first step in block editing is to define or mark a block of text. To define a block,
place the cursor at the first character of the block you want to edit and hold down the
Shift key and the Right Arrow key at the same time or release the left mouse button
and move the highlight with the mouse. When the cursor is at the end of the area you
want to mark as a block, release the Shift key and the Right Arrow key or release the
left mouse button. After a block of text is defined, use one of the three block editing
tools: Cut block, Paste block, Copy block.
Cutting a Block
To cut a block of text, first define the block and select the Cut icon from the EDIT menu.
The block will be removed from its current position and will be placed in memory. You
can paste the block in any location in the document.
