The Editing Area is the space where you will type in your text and format your document.
If your document is longer than the available space in the Editing Area, a scroll bar will appear. The scroll bar will allow you to go up and down through your text. You may also move inside the text by using your keyboard keys, for example the PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME, END and ARROW KEYS.
Another important function while editing is the text selection (text highlight). To select the text, press your mouse's left button, hold it and go in the direction you want to highlight the text. The text will be highlighted as you move over it. Just release the button and the text will remain selected.
