1. GETTING STARTED
Opening Microsoft Word On A Pc
To launch Microsoft Word, go to Start > All Programs >
Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Word 2010 (Figure 1).
A blank Word document will open.
Saving Initially
Before you begin to type, you should save your document. To do this, go to File Tab (Figure 2) > Save As.
Microsoft Word will open a dialog box (Figure 1) where you can specify the new file’s name and location
where you want it saved. Once you have specified a name and a place for your new file, press the Save button.
Note: If you want to save your document on a Mac and then open it on a PC you must specify a file extension
(i.e. .doc). Usually your computer will do this for you, but if it does not you must do this process while in Save
As. Once you have titled your document, you can give it a file extension by clicking in the Format box. Click
Microsoft Word Document for the correct file extension and make sure Append File Extension is checked.
Saving Later
After you have initially saved your blank document under a
new name, you can begin writing your paper. However, you
will still want to periodically save your work as insurance
against a computer freeze or a power outage. To save, click
File tab > Save.
Figure 4. FileTab.
The Home Tab (Figure 5) is Microsoft Words standard view. This is the view most widely used and allows
you to format text by Font Style, Font Size, Bold, Italic, Underline, Alignment, Numbered List, Bulleted
List, Indentation, Spacing, and Font Color.
The Insert Tab (Figure 6) contains any additives you want to place in your document, including but not
limited to: Tables, Clip Art, Headers and Footers. These icons are convenient and will bring up a dialogue box
to give you further options when clicked .
The Page Layout Tab (Figure 7) contains icons for page setup and paragraph actions, such as Margin, Page
Orientation, Columns and Spacing.
The References Tab (Figure 8) makes it especially simple to add Table of Contents, Footnotes,
Bibliographic Information, and Indexes.
The Mailings Tab (Figure 9) is for post-office related uses. If you wanted to create custom Envelopes, or Labels, this is
where you would find such actions.
Figure 9. Mailings Tab.
The Review Tab (Figure 10) is where one can find Spelling & Grammar, the built in Thesaurus and
FORMATTING
Formatting the Document
The default page margins for Microsoft Word documents are 1 inch, but you may want to change them for a
project. To change the page margins on a PC, go to Page Layout Tab > Margins. On a PC, a dropdown will
appear to give a set of standard options, but by clicking “Custom Margins,” a menu will appear where you can
type irregular margins (Figure 12).
From the same menu (Figure 1), click Portrait if you want your document to be 8.5 x 11 inches (most
common). Click Landscape if you want your document to be 11 x 8.5 inches. Landscape simply flips the page
90 degrees.
Figure 12. Changing Margins in the Document Format Menu.
Formatting Paragraphs
To format your paragraph, first highlight the paragraph you wish to format. To highlight more than one
paragraph, click at the beginning of the paragraph and drag the mouse over the text. To apply changes to the
entire document, select all by hitting Ctrl + A. To specify Alignment, Line Spacing, Indentation, and Page
Break expand the Paragraph section of the Home Tab. This will open up the Paragraph menu (Figure 13).
The Alignment option allows you to choose how you want your paragraph to look (i.e. justified, right, center,
or left). The Line Spacing option allows you to set the desired spacing, such as single or double. The
Indentation option allows you to tab/push the line(s) in your paragraph either left or right. The Page Break
option is found in Paragraph menu, but you must first select the Line and Page Breaks tab. Page break
allows you to split a paragraph or a page up into sections. You can also bring up this menu by right clicking (or
by hitting Ctrl + Click on a one button mouse) within the document and selecting Paragraph.
To Cut or Copy:
Highlight the text by clicking and dragging over the text to be cut or copied. Go to Home Tab > Copy or
Home Tab > Cut. Click the location where the information should be placed. Go to Home Tab > Paste.
Formatting Text
Before you type, you should select your font style, size, color and attributes (such as bold, italic and underline)
in the Home Tab. You can expand the Font Menu box to get more options by clicking the down-arrow (Figure
14). However, if you wish to change text that has already been typed, click and drag over the text to be
changed to highlight it (or go to Edit > Select All to select the entire document) and change it as before.
Adding Columns
Columns can be used for a variety of document types, such as a
tri-fold brochure. To do this, go to Page Layout Tab >
Columns. From the Columns menu, you can choose the
number of columns, or for more options, click More Columns
where you can set column width and spacing. Once you select
your preferred design, it will show up in the Preview box. This
is a nice feature because it allows you to see what you are
selecting before applying it to your word document. When you
are happy with how your document looks, click Ok.
Figure 15. Selecting the number of columns from
the Columns Menu.
Headers and Footers can be used to give a uniform look to the pages of your document. To create one, go to
Insert Tab > Header and Footer. Use this toolbar to insert and format words and objects in the header.
When editing the header, a new Top View will appear that is specific to headers and footers (Figure 16).
To insert Clip Art: Go to Insert Tab > Clip Art. A new toolbar will appear on the left, where you can
search or browse (by hitting “Go”) and then select the desired picture in the Clip Gallery. The picture will
be inserted at the location of your cursor within your document. If you need to modify you Clip Art, click
on it once to select it, and small boxes will appear around the corners (See WordArt, Figure 3). Once your
Clip Art is selected, you can resize your picture by clicking and dragging on the boxes. Holding Shift
while clicking and dragging will resize the Clip Art proportionately.
You can use the Drawing toolbar to further modify your Clip Art (Figure 2). To delete Clip Art, select it by
clicking on it until the black boxes appear and then hit Delete.
Figure 17. Searching for clips in
the Clip Gallery.
Drawing
To draw in Word, go to the Insert Tab > Shapes and click the New Drawing Canvas. A new toolbar will
appear that is specific only to drawing tools.
Word art
To insert WordArt: Go to Insert Tab > WordArt. Select the desired style
and click Ok. Type the desired text and click Ok. You can further modify
your text by using the Drawing toolbar. To select your WordArt, click on it,
and small boxes will appear in the corners (Figure 19). Moving the yellow
box on a selected WordArt allows the user to change the slant of the
Figure 19. Selected WordArt.
WordArt. WordArt can be resized and deleted similarly to Clip Art
Word Wrap
Word Wrap is a part of formatting
pictures. To use Word Wrap, select your
inserted image, and go to the newly created
Format Tab where you can choose the
type of text wrapping you desire. For more
options, select More Layout Options
(Figure 20).
Creating A Table
To create a table within your document, go to Insert Tab > Table. Choose the desired table size and format,
and click OK. The table will be inserted at the cursor’s location within your document. To navigate within
your table, use the arrow keys. To modify your table, when your table is selected, a Design Tab and Layout
Tab will appear in the Toolbar (Figure 21). From here, you can add cells, columns or rows, merge or split
cells, and further modify your table. Figure

Flowcharts
Flowcharts are used to create diagrams in Microsoft Word. Word 2010 has a new feature called Smart Art that
allows you to insert all types of Flowcharts. If you want to create a custom flowchart, you can use the Drawing
capabilities discussed earlier. To insert Smart Art, go to Insert Tab > Smart Art. A dialogue box will open
(Figure 22) with basic choices.
4. PRINTING
It is important to always save your document before you print!
Print Preview
Before you print your document, you may want to
preview it to make sure you are happy with the page
layout and appearance of your document. To do this, go
to File Tab > Print > Print Preview. This should open
up a preview of your document and the Print Preview
toolbar (Figure 23). The mouse should look like a
magnifying glass, which allows you to zoom into an
area of your document by clicking on it. (If the mouse
does not look like a magnifying glass, use the Print
Preview toolbar to select the zoom tool.) If you are
satisfied with the appearance of your document, you
can click on the Print icon in the Print Preview
toolbar. If you need to make changes to the document
or are not ready to print, select Close on the Print
Preview toolbar.
Figure 23: Print Preview toolbar with
a preview of the document behind it.
Printing
To print your document, go to File Tab > Print > Print, select your desired settings, and then click Print
again. It is also possible to print by using the Print icon on the Main Toolbar, however this does not bring up
the Print dialogue box that allows you to change your printing options, so it is advisable to use the other
method.
Saving As A Pdf
Go to File Tab > Save As > PDF or XPS
The easiest way to undo an action is with the key commands Ctrl + Z and to redo an action with Ctrl + Y. It
is important to note that not all actions are undoable, thus it is important to save before you make any major
changes in your document so you can revert back to your saved document. There are also two icons (Figure
24) above the Main Toolbar near the Save Icon. The left icon is Undo and the right icon is Redo.
Word Count
To get an accurate word count of your document, go to Review Tab > Word
Count. This will give you the total number of words in your document (Figure
26). If you need to word-count a specific section, highlight that section first by
clicking and dragging over it and then to go Review Tab > Word Count
as before.
