2. Entering Text and Moving Around
• Starting new paragraphs and creating blank lines
The key to having a happy typing experience is knowing when to press Enter. Follow these two
rules for typing paragraphs of text:
• When your text reaches the right margin, just continue typing. When Word can't fit any
more text on the line, it automatically wraps the text to the next line for you. You should
not press Enter at the ends of the lines within a paragraph.

• When you reach the end of the paragraph, you do need to press Enter. This brings the
insertion point (the cursor) down to the next line.

automatically in your text. Here is a list of what they are and where you'll learn about them:

buttons. These represent smart tags

Word 2003 does not save files in the same format as Word 6.0 or Word 95. In order to give
a document to someone who is using one of these versions of Word, we need to save it in a
format compatible with those versions. To do so, choose Word 97-2003 & 6.0/95–RTF in
the Save As Type list at the bottom of the Save As dialog box. When you open a Word
6.0/95 file in Word 2003, it automatically converts it to Word 2003 format for you.
