Bold, Underline and Italics

These are the most common ways of adding emphasis to your documents, for example I have emboldened the title on this page so that it stands out from the rest of it. I could also underline the title to make it more noticeable and I could put a phrase, saying or section of text in italics to show that it is someone eles's work.

Text is highlighted (selected) in the following way:

1. Place the mouse pointer, (in a text document it wouold more than likely be an I cursor) just before the first letter of the text to change

2. Press and hold down the left mouse button

3. Whilst keeping the left mouse button pressed drag your mouse to the end of the text you wish to change

4. Release the left mouse button.
