Blocking
If you want to change something, you must block it.
Computers are smart but not as smart as you!
You have to tell the computer what to do. If you want to
change some text, you have to tell the computer what text to
change.
You do this by blocking the text.
Three Ways to Block Text
- Click and Drag
- Click at the beginning of some text and hold the mouse button down.
- Move the mouse to the end of the text you want to change.
- Lift your finger off the mouse.
- Use the Shift key
- Click at the beginning of the text you want to change.
- Now hold the shift key down and click at the end of the text.
- Double click on the word
- Use this if you just want to block one word.
When you block, the text has black around it.
Example:
Laura is a very nice woman.
The word Laura is blocked.
Now it’s your turn to change how the word looks.
Use blocking to tell the computer what text to change.
