Using the Insertion Point to Add Text
The insertion point is the blinking vertical line in your document. It indicates where you can enter text on the page. You can use the insertion point in a variety of ways:
Blank document: When a new, blank document opens, the insertion point is located in the top left corner of the page. If you wish, you can begin typing from this location.
Adding spaces: Press the space bar to add spaces after a word or in between text.
New paragraph line: Press Enter on your keyboard to move the insertion point to the next paragraph line.
Manual placement: After you've started typing, you can use the mouse to move the insertion point to a specific place in your document. Simply click the location in the text where you wish to place it.
