Overview: Editing a Document This topic teaches you to: Insert text. Replace text. Cut text. Set aside a document. You’ll use a new menu, the Edit menu, and a special document, the Clipboard.
	Get ready to edit the My Memo document: Open the My Memo document icon. (Select the icon, then choose Open from the File/Print menu.) Do this to insert your name into the My Memo document: Select an insertion point in the My Memo window: Place the I-pointer after “From:” then click. You should see an insertion point, a blinking bar. (Mistake? Move the mouse to make the pointer reappear and try again.) Type a space, then your first name. (Typing mistake? Press the Backspace key at the main keyboard’s upper right.)
	You can only insert text in the ACTIVE window – the one with the highlighted title at the top. The active window also has gray bars along two sides. You click in a window to make it active, to tell Lisa you want to work with it. It will appear on top of all other windows on the desktop. Do this to address the document My Memo to Richard: Click anywhere in the My Memo window to activate it. Notice how it comes to the top and overlaps part of the LisaGuide window. Insert “Richard” after “To:” in the first line of the My Memo window. (Click to select an insertion point, then type. Typing mistake? Press Backspace.)
	Very good!
	Don’t touch the mouse as we demonstrate how to replace text. We activate the window.
	We PRESS and MOVE the pointer over the text.
	We RELEASE when the text we want highlights.
	What we type replaces the highlighted text.
	Next you get to replace text.
	To replace text, SELECT then TYPE. As usual, you must activate a window (highlight its title) to tell your Lisa you want [to] work with it. Now edit the name Richard so it becomes Rick. Do this to replace “hard” with “k” in My Memo: Activate the My Memo window with a click. Do this to select “hard” in Richard: PLACE the I-shaped pointer between “c” and “h.” HOLD DOWN the mouse button and MOVE the pointer through “hard.” RELEASE the button when “hard” is highlighted. (Selection not what you want? Just try again.) Type this: k (Mistake? Press the Backspace key.)
	After all this, you decide not to send a memo to Rick! Using a new menu, the Edit menu, you can cut his name. Cut text goes on the Clipboard, a special document. We’ve opened the Clipboard so you can see what you cut. Do this to cut “Rick” from the MyMemo window: Activate the My Memo window. Select (highlight) the name Rick. (Press before “R”, release after “k”. Trouble? Start over.) Choose Cut from the new Edit menu. Notice that since the Clipboard is open you can see what you cut. (Cut something else by mistake? Choose Undo Last Change from the Edit menu and try again.)
	Notice how the File/Print menu works: Select the Example icon in the Samples window with a click, then see what the File/Print menu says. Don’t choose from the menu. Activate the Clipboard window (where the cut text is), then see what the File/Print menu says. Now make your Lisa close and set aside the Clipboard (You can still cut text when the Clipboard is closed.): Be sure the Clipboard window is active, then choose Set Aside “Clipboard” from the File/Print menu. (Doesn’t say Set Aside “Clipboard”? Redo step 2.) Watch the Clipboard window close and return to the place marked on the desktop by its white icon shadow.
