Practical # 03: Getting familiar with Microsoft Word.

Tools:Microsoft Word 2007 or Microsoft Word 2010.

3.1 Microsoft Word 2007


Microsoft Word is a word processing software package. You can use it to type letters, reports, and other
documents. This tutorial teaches Microsoft Word 2007 basics. Although this tutorial was created for the
computer novice, because Microsoft Word 2007 is so different from previous versions of Microsoft Word,
even experienced users may find it useful.

This lesson will introduce you to the Word window. You use this window to interact with Word. To begin
this lesson, open Microsoft Word 2007. The Microsoft Word window appears and your screen looks
similar to the one shown here.

Note: Your screen will probably not look exactly like the screen shown. In Word 2007, how a window
displays depends on the size of your window, the size of your monitor, and the resolution to which your
monitor is set. Resolution determines how much information your computer monitor can display. If you
use a low resolution, less information fits on your screen, but the size of your text and images are larger.
If you use a high resolution, more information fits on your screen, but the size of the text and images are
smaller. Also, Word 2007, Windows Vista, and Windows XP have settings that allow you to change the
color and style of your windows.
3.2 The Microsoft Office Button
In the upper-left corner of the Word 2007 window is the Microsoft Office button. When you click the
button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a file, and
perform many other tasks.

3.3 The Quick Access Toolbar


Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar provides you
with access to commands you frequently use. By default Save, Undo, and Redo appear on the Quick Access
toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to rollback an action you have taken, and Redo to
reapply an action you have rolled back.

3.4 The Title Bar


Next to the Quick Access toolbar is the Title bar. The Title bar displays the title of the document on which
you are currently working. Word names the first new document you open Document1. As you open
additional new documents, Word names them sequentially. When you save your document, you assign
the document a new name.

3.5 The Ribbon


You use commands to tell Microsoft Word what to do. In Microsoft Word 2007, you use the Ribbon to
issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the screen, below the Quick Access toolbar. At the
top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab displays several related command groups. Within each
group are related command buttons. You click buttons to issue commands or to access menus and dialog
boxes. You may also find a dialog box launcher in the bottom-right corner of a group. Clicking the dialog
box launcher gives you access to additional commands via a dialog box.
3.6 The Ruler
The ruler is found below the Ribbon.

You can use the ruler to change the format of your document quickly. If your ruler is not visible, follow
the steps listed here:

1. Click the View tab to choose it.


2. Click the check box next to Ruler in the Show/Hide group. The ruler appears below the Ribbon.

3.7 The Text Area


Just below the ruler is a large area called the text area. You type your document in the text area. The
blinking vertical line in the upper-left corner of the text area is the cursor. It marks the insertion point. As
you type, your text displays at the cursor location. The horizontal line next to the cursor marks the end of
the document.
3.8 The Vertical and Horizontal and Vertical Scroll Bars
The vertical and horizontal scroll bars enable you to move up, down, and across your window simply by
dragging the icon located on the scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar is located along the right side of the
screen. The horizontal scroll bar is located just above the status bar. To move up and down your
document, click and drag the vertical scroll bar up and down. To move back and forth across your
document, click and drag the horizontal scroll bar back and forth. You won't see a horizontal scroll bar if
the width of your document fits on your screen.

3.9 The Status Bar


The Status bar appears at the very bottom of your window and provides such information as the current
page and the number of words in your document. You can change what displays on the Status bar by right-
clicking on the Status bar and selecting the options you want from the Customize Status Bar menu. You
click a menu item to select it. You click it again to deselect it. A check mark next to an item means it is
selected.
3.10 Understanding Document Views
In Word 2007, you can display your document in one of five views: Draft, Web Layout, Print Layout, Full
Screen Reading, or Online Layout.

Draft View
Draft view is the most frequently used view. You use Draft view to quickly edit your document.
Web Layout
Web Layout view enables you to see your document as it would appear in a browser such as
Internet Explorer.
Print Layout
The Print Layout view shows the document as it will look when it is printed.
Reading Layout
Reading Layout view formats your screen to make reading your document more comfortable.
Outline View
Outline view displays the document in outline form. You can display headings without the text. If
you move a heading, the accompanying text moves with it.
