Replacing Words and
Inserting Text
Follow these steps and look at the example to continue editing the third
sentence in the memo.
1. Using the arrow keys, position the cursor on the word “be” in the
fourth line.
2. Press CHAR INS twice. Type “come” in the space, typing over “be” and
the two blank spaces you inserted.
3. Using the arrow keys, move to the last “the” in the next line. Type
“first” and use the CHAR DEL key to delete the remaining characters
between “first” and “quarters.”
4. Using the arrow keys, move the cursor to the “s” in “quarters” and
delete the “s” with the CHAR DEL key. Type “expenses to date for
second quarter,” at the end of the line.
5. Press RETURN to go to the next line and use the arrow keys to move the
cursor to the word “requests.” Use the CHAR INS key to make enough
space to type “your projections” to replace “requests.”
6. Using the arrow key, move over to the word “next”; change it to the
word “third.” Press CHAR INS once to make room for it. Your screen
should look like the following example.
The quarterly budgeting meeting has been scheduled for March 15
at 8 A.M. in the conference room.
Your attendance is required.
Please come prepared with details of
the actual expenses for first quarter, expenses to date for second quarter,
and your projections for third quarter. Don't be late!
