Terms Used in this Tutorial

In this tutorial, I use some terms repeatedly. In this section, I will introduce you to those terms and tell you what you should do when I use them.

Click or Choose

If I ask you to click an item or to choose an item, point to the item and then press your left mouse button once or if you are using a touchscreen, tap once.

Double-click

If I ask you to double-click an item, point to the item and then press your left mouse button twice quickly or use whatever procedure your touchscreen requires to simulate a double-click.

Right-click

If I ask you to right-click an item, point to the item and then press your right mouse button or use whatever procedure your touchscreen requires to simulate a right-click.

Change the Insertion Point

The insertion point is a blinking vertical line that appears in the text area. Word inserts the characters you type and objects you insert at the insertion point. If I ask you to change the insertion point— move the mouse pointer to the specified location and then press the left mouse button or use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to the insertion point to the specified location.

Some Word fields have spinners. I will tell you to type your entry into the field; however, you can also use the up-arrow next to the field to increase the field value or the down-arrow next to the field to decrease the field value.
