Work with Click and Type in either print layout view or Web layout view to insert items in most blank areas of a document. For example, you can insert a graphic below the end of the document; there's no need to press ENTER to add blank lines. Or you can type text to the right of an existing paragraph without having to manually add a tab stop.
Click and Type isn't available in the following areas: multiple columns, bulleted and numbered lists, next to floating objects, to the left or right of pictures with top and bottom text wrapping, or to the left or right of indents.
How to see what type of formatting has been applied
If you want to determine which formatting Click and Type has applied to an existing item, you can use the Formatting toolbar to view the alignment settings. You can also use the horizontal ruler to view the indents and tab stops. To see the tab characters in the document, turn on the formatting marks.
When you insert an item below an existing paragraph, Click and Type formats the item with the default paragraph style specified on the Edit tab (Tools menu, Options command). If you want to apply a different style to new items, you can specify the default paragraph style.
