3 Parts of a Table Table Click this icon to select the entire table
Column Cell Row You build a table using columns and rows. The intersection of each column and row is a cell. In a table you can merge cells together eliminating column and row boundaries. Table and spreadsheet titles often use this feature. “Vacation Planner”, the title in this table is actually 4 merged cells. Cells are merged again at the bottom of the table where it reads Total of Expected Expenses. Cell merged across columns Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

4 Three Options for Inserting a Table
To insert a table use one of the following three methods. Click the Insert table button found on the Insert ribbon and choose how many columns and rows need using the displayed grid. Use the Insert Table tool and type the number of columns and rows you would like. Finally, you can draw the table, using the Draw Table tool, but this tool can be difficult to control. When you are finished drawing your table, click the Draw Table tool again to toggle the tool off. You will see that you can also insert an Excel spreadsheet, an excellent choice if formulas are to be part of the table. You can create formulas in a Word table but there are fewer choices and they may prove more difficult. Quick tables provides default table designs. You can add your own table design to the gallery making it readily available whenever you open a new file. Choose the columns and rows using the grid Choose the insert table option Draw a table Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

5 Using Tab in a Table Tab in a table moves you to the next cell
Using the Tab key moves you from cell to cell Tab in a table moves you to the next cell To add a tab character to a cell, use Ctrl+Tab Use the Tab key to move from cell to cell in a table. When you are in the final cell of a table, typing a Tab will give you an entire new row of cells. If you need to add a tab to your cell, type Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab to a cell. When you use the Enter key, you stay inside of the cell and you begin a new paragraph inside of the cell. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Insert Rows or Columns Insert and delete rows and columns using the buttons provided To delete only the data in the cells, highlight and use the Delete key from your keyboard On the Layout tab, you will find the Insert Rows and Columns tool. The buttons clearly show how the row or column will be inserted. The Insert Above and Delete tools are oversized because these are used most often. To delete a row or column, position your cursor in the row or column you want to delete and click the Delete button on the ribbon. If you want to delete the contents within the cell, highlight the data in the cell and press the Delete on your keyboard. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

7 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Merge and Split Cells Next to the rows and columns area on the ribbon, you will see the Merge area. You merge cells together by first highlighting the cells then click the Merge Cells button. To split a cell into two cells, highlight the cell you want to split, and click the Split Cells button. You can also split tables highlighting the row where the second table should begin and clicking Split Table. Highlight cells you would like to merge Select the Merge Cells button on the toolbar Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

8 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Sizing Cells By default rows and columns are exactly the same width and height when you insert a table. Customizing the column and row sizes makes it easier to read the table. Adjust your columns for the amount of information in them. Give a column that has more information more space. In the Cell Size area, displays the size of cells. You make changes by typing new horizontal and vertical values. The horizontal cell size affects the entire column and the vertical cell size affects the entire row the cell is in the cell. You can also distribute rows or columns equally by clicking the appropriate buttons. Row Height: vertical space from top to bottom Column Width: horizontal space from left to right Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

9 Resizing Cells by Dragging
Cursor changes to a double arrow when its placed over the column border When only a row or the cell adjacent to the border you are moving is selected, only that row’s border will change You can also resize cells by dragging the column or row border. When you place your cursor on a cell border it displays a two-way arrow, your indication that dragging the cursor will resize the column or row. When you size a cell vertically, it will apply to the entire row. When you size a cell horizontally it can either apply to the entire column or only to a single row. To be sure the entire column changes, be sure you do not have any cells selected. If you would like to move the border in only one row, you can either select the row, or you can have the cell to the left of the border you would like to move selected. Most of the time you will want to move the entire row. If you do mistakenly move the border in a single row, use the Ctrl+Z key to undo the move. Deselect the cell or row and move the column a second time. When no cell is selected, the entire column’s border will be moved When a row or a cell is selected, only the border in that row will move Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Table Styles More arrows In a default table all the cells look the same. Make your table more readable by defining the column and row headings using formatting. On the design tab, you can apply a predefined format to the table. You will see some predefined table styles. Click the down arrow to see more predefined table styles. Table styles are predefined styles Click ‘more’ to get additional style choices Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

11 Predefined Table Styles
Modify a style Make a new style With the table selected, place your cursor on one of the predefined style to see a preview of that style. Click the style to set it. Make changes to a selected style using the Borders and Shadings area to the right of the predefined styles. Use the “Make a new style button” to create a new style and save it to the template so you can use it at a later date. You will see the “create new style from formatting” dialog box. Mouse-over previews the style Click to apply the style Add your own style using New Table Style Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

12 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Formatting a Style Make a style by using the shading button and the border button. This process will simply stylize this table but will not make a new table style for use later. Shading applies to the background of selected cells. If a background is close in color to the font color, change the font color to a more visible color. Borders apply to the edges of the cells. You can add, delete, and change borders between cells or simply around the entire table. To the left of the word “Shading” on the ribbon, there is an icon for each button. Under the icon there is a color line. This line represents the last color used. Click the button to apply that color. To use a new color, click the down arrow to the right of the word “Shading”. Similarly, The icon to the left of the word “Border” shows the last border applied. Click the icon to apply the same border. To change the border, click the arrow to the right of the word “Border”. Shading: cell background color Border: line style around each cell Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

13 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Shading Choose a Shading color from either a theme color, standard color, no color, or use the “More Shading Colors” for the Colors dialog box. The Standard Tab gives you the standard colors for Word. The Custom Colors tab allows you to choose many more colors. Click anywhere in the colors to choose one. Choose a color, no color or get more shading colors Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

14 Table Alignment Use properties dialog to align the table on the page
Click for the properties dialog box Within the Word document, the entire table is treated as an object and has options for placement on a page. On the Layout ribbon you will see Properties in the Table area. The table tab gives you properties options for the table itself. Align the table to the left, right or center it between the margins. Additionally, choose text wrapping options to decide how text interacts with the table. Use properties dialog to align the table on the page Position the entire table between margins Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

15 Data Alignment Setting vertical alignment to bottom or center would help the design Data in a cell can be aligned inside of that cell. Select the cells to align. Choose the alignment of the cells content. Each option on the grid contains the horizontal and vertical choice. Change the alignment of the selected cell(s) using alignment options Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

16 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Text Direction Click to rotate data in a cell One click Two clicks Three clicks Text direction rotates text inside of the cell. Text direction rotates the text every time you click the button. Options include the normal horizontal direction or two different vertical directions. Use a vertical text direction for headers inside of thin columns. Text direction changes data direction within selected cells Note: the text rotates each time you click Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

17 Cell Margins Adjust cell margins and cell spacing Adjusting cell margins Adjusting cell spacing Use the Cell Margins button to open the Table Options dialog box. Margins inside of a cell is also known as padding. Cell margins give you space between the edges of the cell and the beginning of the data. Margins give room to the data inside of a cell and may make the information more readable. You can also add space between the cells themselves to add more space between the data. Adjust white space inside of cells (margins) and the spacing between cells Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

18 Formulas—Cell Addresses
Use cell addresses to create formulas Tables can use formulas which will allow you to update cell data as other data changes. To do this each cell is referred to by an address. A cell address is the name of a column and row. Columns are identified alphabetically (A, B, C, etc.) and rows are identified numerically (1, 2, 3, etc.) Example: the cell address for the cell in the second column and two rows down is as B2. Columns are labeled alphabetically Rows are labeled numerically Cells are the intersection A1 is a cell address Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

19 Cell Addresses in Formulas
Formulas in a Word table are similar to those found in Excel. When placing a formula into a cell, use the formula button on the layout ribbon. Use the Paste Function button to choose a function (SUM, PRODUCT, ID, etc.) for use in the formula. In addition to the regular addressing system explained in the previous slide you can use relative addresses. These elative addresses use syntax that is reasonably intuitive (LEFT, RIGHT, ABOVE, etc.) Once you have a formula in your table it is considered a field. Please note: Excel is the program in Microsoft Office for spreadsheets. If table requires a multitude of formulas or if the formulas are complex, use Excel. You can integrate Excel spreadsheets into a Word document and they can update as data changes. Use formulas as you would in Excel Choose a number format (currency, date, etc.) Relative addresses, use syntax Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

20 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Cell Formulas Click on the number that is really the total for a formula, you will see a grey box identifying it as a field. Click F8 to toggle between the answer and the field itself. Use update field to update the formula total when data changes. Use F8 to show your formulas (fields) Word provides the syntax for formulas Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

21 Sorting Data in a Table Choose ascending or descending Word sorts data by columns. The Sort by drop down box shows the header rows column titles. Choose the column to sort by. If a secondary sort is necessary, use the Then by area to choose a second column to sort within the first sort. An example of data that may need a secondary sort would be names. If after sorting first by last name, you may need to then sort by first name so that the names actually alphabetize. You may have more than one Smiths, and in that case it would be better to have Abe listed before Zach. Sort either ascending or descending by choosing the correct radio button. Alphabetized sorts ascend from A to Z and descend from Z to A whereas numbers ascend from smallest to largest and descend from largest to smallest. Choose the column title you want to use as the primary sort Then you can sort using secondary and tertiary columns Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

22 Text to Table Option Number of columns are associated with the “Separate text at” option Select the text you want to move into a table Pre-typed text which would work better in a table, can be easily moved into a table. Highlight the text to be placed into a table. On the Insert ribbon click Table Choose Convert Text to Table …. The text must have an identifier between columns. Commas, tabs, and paragraphs are commonly used. A different identifier may be used by selecting the Other radio button and typing the identifier into the text box next to it. Word automatically identifies the columns necessary based on the criteria. Note: Word produces separate columns for each identifier in the selected text. When using tabs as the identifier, be sure you do not use multiple tabs between data or it will produce separate columns for each tab and may make the table hard to work with. Use only one tab between pieces Turn Show/Hide on to see the tabs in the selection. Use Text to Table option when pre-typed data would work better in a table Equal column widths is the default Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Copyright protects work and gives its producer exclusive rights to its use and reproduction Assume all work on the Internet is copyrighted and do not use something unless it is stated to be in the public domain Be sure to read all license agreements to see how you may use an image Copyright has been part of Western society since 1710 (the English Statute of Anne). Its protection is included in the United States Constitution and has been explained in US law. Copyright is considered important to society because it ensures those who produce work can benefit from that work. Copyright protection is extended to anyone who produces a copyrightable work at the time the work is produced. Current copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U. S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following: To reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords; To prepare derivative works based upon the work; To distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending; To perform the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works; To display the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work; and In the case of sound recordings, to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.

25 Inserting Clip Art Insert Clip Art opens the Clip Art task panel Clip Art is the simplest way to add a graphic element to your documents. Microsoft extends a license for the clip art contained in the program and on Microsoft’s web site with certain limitations. When you own Office, you may use the clip art in your documents, including on your web pages. You may not resell your documents or templates with Microsoft clip art included. You may not make logos, business cards, and the like with Microsoft’s clip art. Microsoft’s licensing information is available on their website at Open the Clip Art task pane by clicking on the clip art button on the Insert ribbon. Insert Clip Art and the Clip Art task pane will open Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

26 Clip Art Task Pane Search for clips by keyword
Use keywords when searching for art Limit search by collection and/or media Opens the Clip Art Organizer Inserts where the cursor is Located on your page Opens your browser and takes you to Microsoft’s site to search for more clips Finding relevant images is simple. Type in a keyword to search for images. Limit the search by collection or media. Click the down arrow for options. Sort through the images returned. Once an image has been identified, double click on the selection and it will be inserted into the document at the insertion point. There are more pieces of clip art available online. If the computer is connected to the Internet, simply click the Clip art on Office Online link. This will open your browser and take you to Microsoft’s Clip art and Media homepage. There are thousands of Clip Art images available on the Microsoft site. Again, search using keywords. Limit the search by collection or media. It is better to search using the singular (flower rather than flowers) and shorten the word to its essentials (horse rather than horseman or horsemen) you will get more images returned. As you identify the art you would like, add it to the basket. When done with selecting art, follow the directions onscreen to download the art to your computer and get it into the organizer. Search for clips by keyword Limit your search by collection or media To position image where your insert point is, double click image Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

27 Clip Art Organizer Hover your mouse over the image for information about the image Click down arrow for the task pane Collections on your computer Add keywords to the clip art for searching Clip art has predefined keywords associated with it. These keywords are the words that are searched on in the Clip Art task pane. Clip art is stored on the computer in folders. To see the folders, click Organize clips … and the Microsoft Clip Organizer will open. The dialog box is split into two sides. The left hand side will show you the Collection List. Click on one of the folders, and you will see the contents. Roll over a piece of clip art and you will see a down arrow. Roll over the down arrow to see the keywords associated with that piece of clip art. Click the down arrow and you have a myriad of choices. You may edit the keywords associated with the piece of clip art, you may copy it to a different collection, delete it completely from the organizer and find Similar Styles. Similar styles will show clip art with a similar feel. This is an excellent way to find groups of clip art which will work well together in a document. Clip Art pieces have associated keywords and can be organized in the organizer You may add, change or delete keywords using the Edit Keywords dialog box Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

28 Inserting a Picture Insert Picture opens dialog box to browse to your saved picture file Add your own picture from a saved file on your computer Pictures may be from a digital camera, scanned, or found on the Internet If you get a picture online, be sure it is from a legal source To add an image that is not part of clip art, click the Picture button on the Insert ribbon. Images must be digitized and saved in a file on your computer. Images may come from a digital camera or be scanned on a scanner. Images found or purchased from the Internet will also generally be inserted using the Picture button. No matter where the image comes from, it must be saved as a file on the computer. The Insert Picture button opens a dialog box in which you may browse to the image on the computer. If images are coming from the Internet, assume all images are copyrighted and unavailable unless otherwise noted. There are sites that offer imagery for free or sale. Be sure you read all licensing agreements so you know how you may use and present an image. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

29 Manipulating Your Graphic
Handles change the size of the overall image After an image is placed, it may need to be resized. Sizing is easily accomplished using the handles. When you have an image selected, you will see the white circles on the corners of the image and white squares on the sides. These are the handles. You can drag them to resize the image. It is difficult to freely size the image and keep the proportions. Use the shift key to lock the proportions as you size it. Size your graphics using the handles Hold down the shift key to keep the proportions of the art when sizing it Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

30 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Text Wrapping Acts like a letter Wrapping options Acts like a watermark Art will cover text Images may need to interact with document text. There are multiple ways to allow this. Click on the Arrange area of the format ribbon you will find Text Wrapping. Text can go around the object in many ways. Choices are In Line With Text, Square, Tight, Behind Text, In Front of Text, Top and Bottom, and Through. Choose how your graphic interacts with text Square and tight wrap the text around the graphic Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

31 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Wrapping Options In line With Text Tight Square In Line With Text treats the object as a letter. The art is on the baseline and stays at the insertion point where it was placed. The space between the line above and the line the image is on is set by the size of the image. Square adds a square around the object (even if the object isn’t square) and wraps the text around it. Beware – the object is placed in the middle of the page, the text will have to be read across the picture. This can be difficult to read. If an image is to be placed in the middle of text, be sure the text is set into columns and the image is on the gutter between them. This allows the reader to read down one side of the object and then down the other rather than trying to read lines across the image. Tight on non square objects wraps text around the object utilizing the actual lines of the object rather than around a square. The most popular options are: In line with Text, Square, and Tight Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

32 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
More Wrapping Options Through Top and Bottom In Front of Text Through is similar to Tight, however text will be placed in open spaces within the object as well as wrapping tightly around it. Top and bottom puts space between the line above the object and below the object. There will be no text wrapping. In Front of Text will place the object in front of the text. The object doesn’t impact the flow of the text at all. Realize this will hide part of the text. Behind Text will put the object behind the text. Again, it doesn’t interact with the text at all and the text is written over the object. This option works well when the object is faded. When objects are in front of text or behind text there is an anchoring paragraph. If you add information before the anchor, the object will move down with the paragraph. If you add information after the anchoring paragraph, there will be no movement. To see the anchor, be sure the show/hide button is on and select the object. An anchor will be shown on the left hand side of the document. The object is attached to this paragraph. Move the anchor to change the paragraph in which the object is attached. Behind Text Other options are: Through, Top and Bottom, In Front of Text, and Behind Text Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

33 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Picture Quick Styles More styles Once imagery is placed, manipulate it for interesting effects in Word. On the Format ribbon, you will see predefined Picture Styles. Click the down arrow to see more styles. With an image selected, roll the mouse over a picture style and see what that style will do to the image. To apply the style, click and it will apply to the selected picture. Mouse over style to preview the style Click to apply the style Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

34 Make Your Own Picture Style
To make a style, select the image to manipulate and choose either the Picture Shape, Picture Border and/or Picture Effects to apply a style. Use Control+Z to undo the last applied style device. Use the picture shape, border and effects to make your own styles Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

35 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Cropping Before cropping Cropping hides unimportant parts of an image. Select an image and on the Format ribbon, click the Crop button. You will see black handles in place of the white circle handles. Change the shape of an image by moving any of the handles. Keep the same proportions while cropping by depressing the Shift key as you would when you keep proportions while sizing the image. Turn off the cropping tool by clicking off the image or by clicking the Cropping button a second time. Notice the difference between cropping and sizing. Cropping hides portions of the image whereas sizing the image simply makes the entire image bigger or smaller. After cropping Cropping hides parts of an image Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

36 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Brightness No changes +40 brightness -40 brightness Once an image is placed in a document, it can be manipulated further. Using the Brightness setting on the left hand side of the Format ribbon you can make your image brighter or darker. Brightness is the ratio between lightness and darkness in an image Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

37 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Contrast No changes +40 contrast -40 contrast Contrast increases the difference between the darkest and lightest part of an image. The highest contrast image would be a 100% black and white image with no gray tones at all. A low contrast image grays out the colors and makes them more similar. Contrast increases or decreases the difference in dark and light areas of the image Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

38 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Compressing Images Graphics increase the document’s size—compression helps shrink that size Once you are done making changes to an image, use the compress tool to shrink the size of your file You cannot undo your changes to an image once you have compressed it Adding images to a document increases the document’s size. This can cause problems when saving or sending the document over the Internet. It is a good idea to work to keep documents size small. Once all the changes to an image have been made, compress the image. Compressing images removes unused portions of the image and will make any other change permanent. Changes cannot be undone. This should be done only when the document is finalized. It is also a good idea to save a copy of the document before compression in case changes become necessary. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

39 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
WordArt Choose your design WordArt is a special type of object. It takes type and applies styles to it to make it interesting. Once text becomes WordArt, it is treated as a graphic. Choose the basic WordArt design you would like from the choices given. Create decorative text Text becomes an image as WordArt Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

40 WordArt—Write the Text
Choose the font Choose the size Type your text Choose bold or italics Add text to the Edit WordArt text dialog box. Type in the text. It will wrap in the window but unless the Enter key is used, it will be on the same line. Choose font, size and bold or italics. Click OK when you are done. Add text Press enter for another line of text Choose font, size, bold or italics Click OK Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

41 Formatting WordArt Format WordArt ribbon makes changes to the WordArt
3D effects Drop shadow effects Text area deals with text options Arrange—deals with interaction of different objects with each other and the document’s text Change the WordArt style Shape Fill—changes color Shape Outline—changes border color Change Shape—changes the WordArt shape Once the basic WordArt is added to the document, more changes can be made. While the WordArt is selected, make choices for letter spacing, direction of the text, alignment and other options are on the Text area of the Format ribbon. Other options on the Format ribbon include the style, fill, outline and shape of the text. If the WordArt includes a shadow, one can change the shadow effect. Choose a new color for the shadow at the bottom of the shadow effects tool. If you have or want 3D effects, you can apply them on the 3D effects tool area. Note: you cannot have both a shadow and 3D effect in place at the same time. Text wrapping options are available for WordArt just as with images. Remember once you have changed text into WordArt, it is treated as a graphic object. Format WordArt ribbon makes changes to the WordArt Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

42 Inserting Symbols Add symbols not found on the keyboard
More symbols if you don’t see the symbol you are looking for On the Insert Ribbon, click the Symbol button in the Symbol area. Insert symbols into a document when needed. Examples include adding a copyright, registered, trademark, or other symbol. Use the Symbol dialog box to add foreign language accents. The computer includes special symbol fonts like webdings and wingdings. Choose the font you want to use, and find the symbol you need. Select it and it will be placed where your insertion point is. Symbols are treated as text and can be manipulated as such. Add symbols not found on the keyboard Use fonts such as Wingdings or Webdings Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
