Let’s get started with Word for Android tablet.

First, let's see how to get around and select things.

When I need to put my cursor in an exact spot, I tap anywhere within the text.

Then I tap and hold the cursor, and drag it to where I need it.

To select a word, I double tap. When I need to select more, I tap and drag the selection handles.

And I can triple tap to select a whole paragraph.

When I’m finished typing, I tap my tablet’s Back button to get rid of the keyboard.

My Back button looks like this… …but yours might look something like this, depending on your tablet.

If I want to scroll through my document without the keyboard popping up, I can lock it away, here.

Now it stays hidden and doesn’t pop up while I scan through the document.

If you’re looking for Formatting, most of the buttons are on the Home tab, like you’d expect.

For example, line spacing is here.

But notice: cut, copy, and paste are not here. I get to those by selecting something, and then tapping these three dots.

Make sure to check out the other tabs too.

The Insert tab is where I can insert page numbers.

In Layout, I can change margins.

And on the Review tab, I can add comments and track changes.
