Welcome back. We’re in module 3 and we’re talking about character formatting in this particular module. Now we’re down on section 2 where I want to talk to you a little bit about selecting text. You may have seen text before this highlighted. Well we actually call it selecting. Why would you want to select text? Well we have a little saying that goes like this. If you want to effect it you’ve got to select it. So think about this. What if you have a document and you’ve got one word in the document that you want to make a bold?

How would it know which word to make bold unless you had it selected? So what we’re going to do is go through several different selecting techniques that will help you out and if you don’t remember them all that’s certainly okay. Just pick out two or three that’ll really be helpful to you and then that way it’ll make life a lot easier as you go along. So let me go ahead and flip over to the exercise and I’ll show you how to select your text.

Before I get started let me just mention that I’ve made a list of all these selecting techniques for you. Just look for it wherever you see the Q&A and then you can actually print that out if you’d like and follow along. Or if you want to just keep it for reference that’s fine too.

Let me address the most common selecting technique and that is clicking wherever you want to start your selection and dragging across the text like this. That is certainly okay to do. But a lot of time what happens is you get an extra word or you didn’t get everything you wanted and so it’s not always the best way to select your text. Just so you’ll know, whenever you have text selected you’re going to see this appear as well and that’s just a quick way to get to some formatting options that we’re going to be talking about a little bit later. Notice they’re here but they’re also way up here. This can be turned off in the Options, just so you’ll know. Deselecting means clicking away from your selection. And notice it’s not selected anymore.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
