Now I can actually add text to this text box, position it to where I want, size it where I want, and all of that. I have to add an element that contains text like, for instance, a text box. You still have your Header and Footer here which I see because remember I turned on Show Layout here. Now you can see here the difference is that there's no body text element in the middle of the page. So you can see the body text is now gone. Now this is dangerous to do if you already put text in the body text because it's going to get rid of it. Now let me convert this to Page Layout Mode. If I added more text you could see how it adds even more pages and the text just flows from page to page. If I were to go to View, Show Page Thumbnails here I could see each page. All inside this large body text element that's on every page. If you were to fill it with text you would see that it creates new pages, like it created this second page here, with the text falling from one page to the other. In Word Processing Mode you're going to have this body text here that's automatically on every page. This is most of what we use word processors for. Either a book, like a novel, or a long report that shows page after page of text. So what are the two different modes for? Well, Word Processing Mode is for when you're writing a regular document. If you see that it usually means that you're in Word Processing Mode. Plus, if you go to View and then Show Layouts you'll see a large box here that covers the entire page. If you don't see them there that means you're in Page Layout Mode. For instance iin the document sidebar if you see Section and Bookmarks, those are properties of Word Processing Mode. If it's not checked then you're in page layout mode. If you look for Document Body that is checked that means you're in word processing mode. You could also go to the Document Sidebar here. Whereas if you see Convert to Word Processing then you know you're in Page Layout mode. If you see Convert to Page Layout then you know you're in Word Processing Mode.
