Text boxes

In a text box you type information. When you move to an empty text box, an insertion point (a flashing vertical bar) appears. The text you type starts at the insertion point.

If the box you move to contains text, and the text is highlighted, any text you type will replace it. You can also delete existing text by pressing the Del or Backspace.

Example of a text box:

To select text in a text box:

• drag the pointer across the text, or double-click a word to select one word at a time, or
• position the mouse pointer in the text box and press and hold down Shift while pressing an arrow key.
