BWRS | TEXTText will form the basis for most documents. You can use composer much like a word processor (it even has spell check). If you are happy already with doing that click here to skip the basics. The cursor should be flashing on the page so you can start typing straight away. (If not left click on the work area) To edit text you have typed is easy. To make simple corrections such as spelling move the pointer to the site and left click. Delete or insert as required. To alter or copy a large area of text simple move pointer to one end hold left mouse button down and move so the target area is highlighted. Once happy release (take care not to re-click) and the area should remain highlighted. If you want to move the text to elsewhere in the area you have already typed, left click on the highlighted area but hold down until you have reached the target area. To cut text out move the cursor to the highlighted area rightclick and hold down to select cut. To copy then paste the text elsewhere move the cursor to the highlighted area rightclick and hold down to select copy. Quickly left click to unhighlight and then move cursor to target position. Left click so type cursor appears then hold down rightclick and select copy the release The cut, copy and paste functions can also be achieved by either selecting the edit menu or the relevant icons on the standard tool bar. To change text font, colour or size or to underline, bold or italic is similar. Highlight then select the appropriate icon from the standard tool bar (or select Format -> Font or Size or etc. on the menu). If you type on from where you have changed you continue to type in the new style. (WARNING underline text can confuse the viewer into thinking its a link.) To align the text (either left, center, or right) either click cursor on the line you want to align or highlight the area, then click the appropriate align icon (alternately select format -> paragraph then pull down alignment box) If you simply type away your text will warp to fit the window. The problem with this is that if you adjust the window the warp alters. One solution is to use line breaks Hyperlinks To link your text to other places on your page, site or web see later By now you should have the bones of your page set up.
