Hey there. Welcome back. We’re in module 2 which is the Getting Started with Word module and we’re now on section 2 where I want to show you how to work with non-printing characters and some line spacing basics.
Just so you’ll know what non-printing characters are, there are certain characters like spaces and the Enter key and the Tab key that you would like to see those when you’re typing for various reasons. And you can. So let me show you how that would work.
I’m back in my document here and I’m going to set up a professional looking letter. And let’s say the first thing I want to type is the date. So let’s say that the date happens to be April and it happens to be the 14th. Notice the yellow box that appeared right above April. If that is what I want I’m going to hit the Enter key and it will fill it in for me. If that was not the date I wanted I would just keep on typing and it would go away. Now I’m going to go ahead and hit the Enter key because I’d like to go down to the next line. If you need two spaces in there you’d want to hit the Enter key again.
Now I want to say this is to someone and so I’m going to type it like this and notice I’m going to hit the Tab key. What Tab does is stops you at the half inch mark on your ruler. The reason you want to do that is because if I just type the To and I went space, space, space, space, space and then I came down and did the next line, let me finish this one real quick. Let’s say this is to Jim and I’m going to say it’s from me. But if I had used the spaces here and the spaces here then Jim and Cindy would never line up and look professional. Sometimes they’ll look close but you’ll print it out and they’re really off. And the reason for that is because each character of the alphabet is a different width. So remember that when you hit the Tab key on the keyboard you’ll stop at the half inch mark on the ruler. You’ll learn later how to set custom tabs so you can have it stop wherever you like when you hit that Tab key.
So I’m going to enter a couple more times and start my document.
Now I’m going to scroll down just a little bit so we can see the whole thing. So I’m going to say Call Mr. Kelly to check your calendar order, period. The one you wanted is out of stock and will not be available until next week. Did you see how the text just automatically wrapped there? And I’m going to say If you have any questions, questions, call me at 614-555-1212. And then I’ll go ahead and just drop down a couple of lines and put my name in there. Now you notice I have a misspelled word right here so I’m just going to go ahead and put my Y in there and that’ll fix it for me. Now it might look okay but sometimes what happens as you’re typing and you look and you say, “I’m not sure if I have two or three spaces there. Let me check that out.” Let me show you how to use non-printing characters.
Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
