MS WORD

Sometimes called Winword, MS Word, or Word, Microsoft Word is a word processor


published by Microsoft. It is one of the office productivity applications included in the
Microsoft Office suite. Originally developed by Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie, it
was first released in 1983. Microsoft Word allows you to create professional-quality
documents, reports, letters, and résumés. Unlike a plain text editor, Microsoft Word has
features including spell check, grammar check, text and font formatting, HTML support,
image support, advanced page layout, and more.

Formatting text
Formatting text in Microsoft Word involves tasks like bolding the text, italicising it, and
changing the font and size. The commands to perform all of these formatting tasks are
found on the Home tab in the Font group. Select your text and then click on the required
formatting button to see the effects.

1. Select the text you want to format.

To select a single word, double-click it. To select a line of text, click to the left of it.

2. Select an option to change the font, font size, font color, or make the text bold, italic, or
underline.
Pages
To add page numbers to your Word document, switch over to the “Insert” tab on the
Ribbon and then click the “Page Number” button in the “Header & Footer” section.

How to Add a Page Break

When a page can no longer fit additional content, Word automatically adds a page break.
However, in some cases, you may want to add page breaks elsewhere. For example, if
you’re working on a lengthy document, you may want to create to add a page break to
create a new section. Page breaks are also useful when it comes to adding space around
images and other graphics.

Fortunately, the process of creating a page break is incredibly simple.

1. Move your cursor where you want to begin a new page. For example, if you want to add
a page break between two paragraphs, you should place the cursor before the first
character of the second paragraph.

2. Navigate to Insert > Pages > Page Break. Microsoft Word will then create a new page
where you placed your cursor.

You can also the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Enter to add a page break quickly.
Lists

Create a list

To start a numbered list, type 1, a period (.), a space, and some text. Then press Enter.
Word will automatically start a numbered list for you.

Type* and a space before your text, and Word will make a bulleted list.

To complete your list, press Enter until the bullets or numbering switch off.

Create a list from existing text

Select the text you want to change into a list.

Go to Home> Bullets or Home>Numbering.


Table
One of the most common formatting elements you will use in Microsoft Word are tables,
so much so that it’s probably a surprise we aren’t covering them until now! Tables are a
tried-and-true method of presenting data in rows and columns. They are very simple to
insert and manipulate in Word. When you click on the “Tables” button on the “Insert” tab,
you’re given several options.
Insert Table
Secondly, you can “Insert Table,” which means you just input the number of columns and
rows and how you want the column to “AutoFit.” If you choose fixed column width, you
can select “auto” or you can assign a size. Alternatively, you can AutoFit columns to fit
the contents, or you can have the content AutoFit to the window.
