Word Processing : Blocks of Text

Many word processor functions can be applied to selected blocks of text. A block of text can be selected by using a mouse or the cursor keys. The selected text is usually highlighted by the word processor. When a block of text has been highlighted its properties can be changed. For example :

• The font, style and size can be changed.
• The alignment of the text can be changed.
• Cut or copy and paste can be used to move or duplicate the text.
• The block of text can be deleted.
