This menu choice is frequently used to edit the data you enter in your document. If you make a mistake, you can do this to correct the problem by doing

Edit Undo.

If you want to change to the previous action click

Edit Repeat.

My favorite in Edit menu is cut and paste. If you want to copy a bunch of lines or an image into your document, the easiest way to do is to use Cut/Copy/Paste feature. This is what you do. Select the portion you want to copy by moving the mouse on it, hold the left button down and move the mouse over the section to be copied. Keeping the mouse cursor on the portion, go to

Edit Cut
Edit Copy

Then select the point where you would like to enter the data and do this

Edit Paste


This will insert all the section in the new location. What the program does is make a copy of the highlighted section and put it on a clipboard. It then removes it from the clipboard and inserts into the new location. The difference between Cut and Copy is that the latter makes a copy of the original without removing it from the source document.

If you want to clear some text from your document, you can do one of three things. The first one I think is the easiest, once you get familiar with it

1. Highlight the text by holding the left button on the mouse, drag the mouse over the text you want removed. Let go of the left button on the mouse. While keeping the focus (arrow) on the highlighted text, click the right button on the mouse. A drop down menu will appear. Go ahead and click Cut. This will remove the text from the document. You can undo this move by clicking Edit and selecting Undo Cut

2. Highlight the text by holding the left button on the mouse, drag the mouse over the text you want removed. Let go of the left button on the mouse and do this Edit Clear

3. Highlight the text by holding the left button on the mouse, drag the mouse over the text you want removed. Let go of the left button on the mouse and do this Edit Cut

There is a difference between the second and the other two methods. In the second one, you cannot paste the highlighted text anywhere else. However whenever you use Edit Cut, you can copy that text to a different place using Edit Paste

If you want to find a word or expression in a document, you can use this

Edit Find Type the word Find Next



When you are done, you can click Close

If you want to replace a word or expression in a document, do the following

Edit Replace

Type the first word in Find what,
Type the second word in Replace with Replace



When you are done, you can click Close

One last thing  under the Edit Menu is the Go To command. This is useful when you want to go to a particular place in the document. You  can choose from line number to section number to page number directly without scrolling through the pages one at a time. It will save you time by using the Go To command like this

Edit Go To
Select a choice from Go to what list
Enter the line number Goto
