2. Open the Opening Lines icon by double-clicking it.

To double-click an icon, you click it twice in rapid succession without moving the pointer. (Use the trackball to position the pointer over the icon, and then click one of the trackball buttons twice.) Double-clicking an icon has the same effect as selecting the icon and then choosing the Open command.

When you open Opening Lines, TeachText becomes the active program. Notice that:

nthe Opening Lines window appears

nthe menu bar shows the TeachText menu titles

nthe Application icon at the right end of the menu bar is the TeachText icon

Change a document

The Opening Lines window shows you the text you typed. In this section you’ll make some changes to the text using techniques that work in most Macintosh programs.

Keep two things in mind:

nThe insertion point—the blinking vertical line—marks the place where text will appear.

nA pointer called an I-beam (it looks like this: 9) replaces the arrow pointer (8) when you’re working with text. You control the I-beam pointer with the trackball in the same way that you control the arrow pointer.

1.Locate the insertion point. It should be in the upper- left corner of the document.

2.Locate the I-beam pointer (9). If you don’t see it, roll the trackball slightly. The pointer moves as the trackball moves.

Now you’re ready to change the text.
