Items are usually selected (or highlighted) using the mouse by clicking in the starting position (and holding down the mouse button) and dragging to the end of the area that you want to select. When an item is selected (or highlighted) the next action (whether it be formatting, deleting, copying, or cutting) will typically only affect that item.
Portrait orientation is the most common orientation in word processing.

Paragraph Spacing: Paragraph spacing refers to the amount of white space that is left between paragraphs when the enter key is hit.Microsoft Word has a view that will show you where each paragraph in a document begins or ends. A paragraph can be made up of several lines of text, a single item, or nothing at all. Paragraph: In a word processing document, a new paragraph is created each time the enter key on the keyboard is pressed.The item can then be pasted elsewhere in the document (or even in another document) as long as it remains on the clipboard.
Cutting takes an existing item in a document, removes it from its current location and stores it on the clipboard.
