Using Microsoft Word as an example, here are a few commands used to
manipulate text in a document.  First you have to select the text you want
to work with and this is done as follows:

Place the cursor on the first character of the text you want to select and
hold down the shift ke, then press...

Right arrow - to select a single character
Control + right arrow - to select the word on which the cursor is positioned
Control+Down Arrow - to select the whole line on which the cursor is
positioned.

Remember you must keep the shift key pressed down with all the above
commands because entering something without the shift key will de-select all
the text you have selected.  Note also that using the opposite arrow key
with the commands has the opposite effect, ie. the characters/words/lines
will be de-selected.

so by pressing the above commands repeatedly, you can quickly select a chunk
of text to work with.  Once you have selected the text,release the keys and
press:

The Delete key - to delete the selected text.

Control + c - to copy the selected text to the clipboard

Control + x - to cut the selected text to the clipboard.

Once on the clipboard, text can be pasted somewhere else, either in the
document you're working on or into something else like an Email message for
instance.  Note these commands are not specific to Word, they work in most
Microsoft applications.

  Hi, 
  Can someone tell me, please? how I am able to delete or move chunks of
text from within a document.  I'm assuming that some kind of markers are
involved here.  
  Sorry for the seemingly simple questions, but I'm still getting to grips
with things... 
  Thanks so much for your help. 
  Kind regards, Angela.
