Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Block
 
A part of a document. Blocks can range in size
from a single character, to many paragraphs, to
an entire document. In Word, a block of text can
be the selection. Once you have selected a block
of text, you can move it using the mouse (position
cursor, press Ctrl and click right mouse button),
the Edit Cut and Edit Paste commands, or the
Delete and Insert keys. (Note: Delete and Insert
function this way only if you turn off the Use INS
For Overtype Key option in the Utilities Customize
dialog box.) See also: Select; Selection.
