another new line. Notice the cursor is two lines below the word Dear? Now type the
following without touching the Enter Key” at all:
How is everything going in Texas? We are enjoying sunshine here in CA at the moment but expecting rain tomorrow. Our trip to visit you is still on for the 15th.

If not, you need to practice.
Next, I want to illustrate the difference between the mouse" I " beam and the mouse Pointer. Move the mouse pointer over the word "Texas" in your letter. It is an "I" beam and stays that way over any part of the letter where the text is showing. Now move the mouse pointer over any one of the menu words at the top like "Edit" or "File" and notice it changes to a slanted arrow. That's because the menu names at the top are graphics not text. The slanted arrow pointer is used to click on picture objects (called graphics). The names of the menus at the top of the page are words on top of picture objects (i.e., like boxes). Notice when you move the pointer over the menu name "Edit", the outline of a box appears? That’s a graphics object, not a word as you might suspect.
