Here are three tips on how to use word:

1.    In Using bold, italics, and underline

First, you have to highlight the text that you want to be affected by the control. In highlighting a text, take hold on your mouse and left-click it at the start of your selection so that your cursor appears there. Then, hold on to the left-click button and drag the mouse to the end of the selection before you let it go. And if you want to highlight all the document, use command CTRL+A or click edit menu on the tool bar and choose select all.
