- Pressing Backspace deletes text while the left arrow key just moves the insertion point without changing the text.
- Use the mouse to click anywhere in the document to reposition the insertion point.
Document Features
- Word wrap automatically moves words to the next line if they don't fit at the end of the current line.
- Formatting marks are symbols that show spaces and paragraphs; they help identify errors during editing.
