A Line of Text

A line of text can be an empty space that stands on its own but that can display a caret. For example, here is an empty line of text between this text and the next:
A line can also be a group of letters, symbols or words that use a common horizontal alignment. A line of text can be characterized by its length. This means that a line of text can have a length of 0, 1, 5, 20, 40, or 80 characters, etc. The length of a line of text can depend on the application used or on the user. For example, in Notepad, you can set the length of its lines of text by enlarging or narrowing the Notepad window. Here is Notepad displaying a piece of text in four lines of text. In this case, the maximum length of a line of text is 62 characters: Here is Notepad displaying the same text in seven lines. In this case, the maximum length of a line of text is 37 characters: In some other applications, you can modify the length of a line of text inside of the document. For example, in Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, WordPad, or OpenOffice.org Text, you can narrow the margins.
To create a line of text, simply type the desired text. If you continue typing and the caret gets to the end of the line, it would automatically be moved to the next line. This means that the application would automatically create the lines of text as it judges them necessary.
