Add Text to Your Document

Now you can begin typing your text. When you reach the end of a line, don’t press ENTER; Word automatically moves to the next line. Press ENTER only when you want to start a new paragraph.

Speed typing   Even if you’re a novice typist, you can still streamline text entry, as shown in the following examples.

Fix typos and insert symbols as you go   Click AutoCorrect (Tools menu) and make sure that on the AutoCorrect tab the Replace text as you type check box is selected. Scroll through the AutoCorrect list to see all of the typos and symbols that are fixed automatically. Insert text or graphics just by pressing ENTER   If you have AutoText entries for items that you use frequently, you can insert them by typing just a few characters and then pressing ENTER when a “tip” appears. If the tip isn’t what you want, just continue typing. If tips don’t appear, click AutoCorrect (Tools menu) and then on the AutoText tab make sure that the Show AutoComplete tip for AutoText and dates check box is selected.
