There are several kinds of word documents, such as blank documents that starts from scratch, templates, web pages, reports, etc.
A template is helpful in reusing format of a document.

As you type, word will automatically wrap text to the next line. If you have finished typing on a line and would like to move to the next blank line, press enter.

Modifying existing text in an old document or entering new text in an existing document is known as editing of the text.
Editing text can be done by three options: "Find", "Replace", "Select".

The selected text can be moved, copied and changed to italic, bold or underline.

Both mouse and keyboard can be used to select the text.
Using mouse, text can be selected by either double-clicking or by clicking and dragging.
Using keyboard, text can be selected by pressing the shift key + arrow keys.
