Typing in a word processor — Computer worksheet

A word processor is software for typing and editing text. The blinking cursor shows where letters will appear. To change text, first select it. Copy makes a second copy and keeps the original, cut takes it away to move it, paste puts it in the new place, and undo takes back the last change. Shortcuts make this quick: Ctrl+C copy, Ctrl+X cut, Ctrl+V paste, Ctrl+Z undo, Ctrl+S save.

Remember

Select, then act — “select the text first, then cut, copy or paste”

  1. Select first. Copy (Ctrl+C) keeps the original; cut (Ctrl+X) takes it away; paste (Ctrl+V) puts it in.
  2. Undo (Ctrl+Z) takes back the last change; redo (Ctrl+Y) brings it back.
  3. Save (Ctrl+S), select all (Ctrl+A), print (Ctrl+P), find (Ctrl+F).

Use it for: Class 3 typing lessons, writing a short story or poem and editing school projects on the computer.

Worked example: ⌨️ In a word processor, what does Ctrl+V do? → paste

  1. Ctrl+C copies and Ctrl+X cuts; the next key along, V, puts the text in.
  2. Ctrl+V pastes.

Check: Copy with C, paste with V — they sit side by side ✓
