HOW TO INSERT TEXT IN WORD When we open Word, at the top of the page there is a vertical black line (the cursor) that “pulses” and indicates the insertion point of the text. To add text in Word, just start typing and to space out the words, press the space bar. MAIN KEYS USED DURING WRITING OPERATIONS Tabulator key TAB: allows the cursor to move quickly to the right at predefined stops of 1.25 cm. Caps Lock: sets uppercase writing Shift or Maiusc: if pressed together with an alphabetic character, it allows it to be written in “uppercase” and, together with a key that has more symbols, activates the writing of the symbol placed at the top. Alt Gr - Alternator for graphic characters: enables the writing of the symbol placed on the right in keys that have three of them and of the euro symbol in the key. Enter: Used both to perform the line return function, to create a new paragraph and to confirm the choices made within any dialogue window.
