1. Open Microsoft Word or a similar word processing program. Some popular programs include WordPerfect, Notepad and WordPad.
2. Select the document you want to edit by double-clicking on the file name. This will open the document in the chosen word processing program.
3. Make whatever changes you wish, such as formatting text, correcting grammar, adding new text, inserting images, etc. To delete a section of text, select the text and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
4. When you are finished editing the document, save your changes by clicking on the “Save” option at the top of the window. The changes you made will now be permanent. You can also save the document again with a different name or in a different location if you wish.
