Instructions to edit Documents in Microsoft Word

• First of all, open the Microsoft Word document on which you want to do the editing.
• If you are unsure about the changes you will be making or the things that you are going to try, save an extra copy of the document under the name, “DocumentName-edit” so that you won’t lose your original document.
• Now start editing the new version. And if you are satisfied with the changes that you make, rename the document afterwards.
• To delete single letters one at a time, place your cursor to the right of the letters that are to be erased and then press the “Backspace” key from keyboard. Or you can also place the cursor to the left of the word and press “Delete”. Until all the letters are gone, you may press the key.
