For word wrap to work properly, press ENTER only at the end of a
paragraph,
never at the end of every line. If you press ENTER at the
end of every line, and later change something,
the words will not
wrap smoothly.

Use TAB rather than the SPACEBAR
to align text. If you use TAB to
set the spacing
between
text, then
you can Simply
change
the
measurement
of the tab space
to change
the location
of a column.
•
Type
only one
space

Use italic style text rather than underline
for book
tides.
Typewriters
do not have
italic font style available,
so your only
option
is to
underline
book
tides.

italic and bold type
styles
and other
typographical
features
of typeset
printing.
•
Since an en dash (-) and em dash (--)
are available
on the symbols
keyboard,
use them
rather
than multiple
hyphens.

Characters
and Symbols

Use bullets
for denoting
lists such as this list of tips.

You can undo
almost
anything.
The most
important
thing to
remember
about
undoing
a mistake
is that you can undo
only the
last action.
