Lab 2: Revising and Refining a Document

The following concepts will be introduced in this lab:

1. Thesaurus: Word's Thesaurus is a reference tool that provides synonyms, antonyms and related words for a selected word or phrase.
2. Move and Copy: Text and graphic selections can be moved or copied to new locations in a document or between documents saving you time by not having to retype the same information.
3. Page Break: There are two types of page breaks that can be used in a document: soft page breaks and hard page breaks.
4. Find and Replace: To make editing easier, you can use the Find and Replace feature to find text in a document and automatically replace it with other text as directed.
5. Field: A field is a placeholder that instructs Word to insert information into a document.
6. Page Margin: The margin is the blank space around the edge of the page. Standard single-sided documents have four margins: top, bottom, left, and right.
7. Indents: To help your reader find information quickly, you can indent paragraphs from the margins. Indenting paragraphs sets them off from the rest of the document.
8. Bulleted and Numbered Lists: Whenever possible, use bulleted or numbered lists to organize information and make your writing clear and easy to read.
