Most simple editing can be accomplished by using the insertion and deletion keys. When

you want to change larger blocks of text, then you need to do block editing. The EDIT

pull-down menu is for editing blocks of text.

DEFINE A BLOCK

The first step in block editing is to define or mark a block of text. To define a block, place

the cursor at the first character of the block you want to edit, then continue to press the

left mouse button and drag the cursor over the text you want to edit. When the cursor

is at the end of the block release the left mouse button. After a block of text is defined,

then you can use one of the four block editing tools, cut block, copy block, paste block

or clear block.

CUT BLOCK

To cut a block of text, first define the block of text and select Cut from the EDIT menu.

The block will be removed from its current position and will be placed in memory. You

can now paste the block in any location in the document.

COPY BLOCK

After a block of text has been defined, select Copy from the EDIT menu. The original block

will remain and you can paste the block in any location in the document.

PASTE BLOCK

After you have used the Cut or Copy option, move the cursor to the position where you

want the block of text to be pasted. Select Paste from the EDIT menu and the block of

text you defined will be pasted to the new location.

CLEAR BLOCK

To erase a block of text, first define the block of text and select Clear from the EDIT menu

icon to clear the block. Be careful, because the defined block will be permanently cleared

from the document.
