Word 2007

Word 2007 is the word processing software in the Microsoft 2007

Office Suite. It allows you to easily create a variety of professional-
looking documents using features such as themes, styles, SmartArt,
and more.
I. Setting up the word environment

Before you begin creating documents in Word, you may

want to set up your Word environment and become familiar with a few key tasks
such as how to minimize and maximize the Ribbon, configure the Quick Access toolbar,
display the ruler, and use the Word Count and Zoom tools.
To Minimize and Maximize the Ribbon:
 Right-click anywhere in the main menu.
 Select Minimize the Ribbon in the menu that appears. This will toggle the Ribbon
on and off.

The check mark beside Minimize the Ribbon indicates the feature is active.

The new, tabbed Ribbon system replaces traditional menus in Word 2007. It is designed
to be responsive to your current task and easy to use; however, you can choose to
minimize the Ribbon if you would prefer to use different menus or keyboard shortcuts.

To Add Commands to the Quick Access Toolbar:

 Click the arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar.
 Select the command you wish to add from the drop-down list. It will appear in the
Quick Access toolbar.
The Save, Undo, and Redo commands appear by default in the Quick Access toolbar.
You may wish to add other commands to make using specific Word features more
convenient for you.

To Display or Hide the Ruler:

 Click the View Ruler icon over the scrollbar.

The View Ruler icon works as a toggle button to turn the ruler on and off.

Setting Up Your PowerPoint Environment

Before you begin creating presentations in PowerPoint, you may

want to set up your PowerPoint environment and become familiar with a few key tasks such
as how to minimize and maximize the Ribbon, configure the Quick Access toolbar, switch
views, and access your PowerPoint options
Exploring the PowerPoint Window
When you open PowerPoint, a new presentation is created and a blank slide appears in the
PowerPoint window. The slide has placeholders for you to add a title and subtitle.
The tabbed Ribbon menu system is how you access the various PowerPoint commands. If you
have used previous versions of PowerPoint, the Ribbon system replaces the traditional menus.
Above the Ribbon in the upper-left corner is the Microsoft Office Button. From here, you can
access important options such as New, Save, Save As, and Print. By default the Quick Access
Toolbar is pinned next to the Microsoft Office Button, and includes commands such as Undo
and Redo.

On the left side of the window, you will see a task pane with slides and outline tabs, which
appears by default. On the bottom, right area of the screen you will find View commands
(Normal, Slide Sorter, and Slide Show), and the zoom tool.

To Zoom In and Out:

 Locate the zoom bar in the bottom, right corner.

Presentation Basics

PowerPoint includes all the features you need to produce

professional-looking presentations. When you create a PowerPoint presentation, it is made up of
a series of slides. The slides contain the information you want to communicate with your
audience. This information can include text, pictures, charts, video, sound, and more.

Before you begin adding information to slides, you need to know the basics of working with
slides. In this lesson you will learn how to start a new presentation, insert new slides, modify a
layout, move and copy slides, how placeholders work, as well as how to save your presentation.
Creating New Presentations
New Presentations
When you open PowerPoint from the Start menu or from an icon on your desktop, a new
presentation with one slide appears by default. You can also create a new presentation while
PowerPoint is already open.
 Click the Microsoft Office Button and choose New from the menu.
The New Presentation dialog box will appear. Blank presentation is selected by default.
Slide Basics
About the Slides
Slides contain placeholders, or areas on a slide that are enclosed by dotted borders. Placeholders
can contain many different items including text, pictures, and charts. Some placeholders have
placeholder text, or text that you can replace, and thumbnail-sized icons that represent specific
commands such as Insert Picture, Insert Chart, and Insert Clip Art. Hover over each icon to see
the type of information you can insert.

About Slide Layouts

The placeholders are arranged in different layouts that you can select when you insert a new
slide or that can be applied to existing slides. In the example above, the layout is called Title
and Content and includes title and content placeholders.

A slide layout arranges your slide content. Layouts contain different types of placeholders that
you can use depending on what information you want to include in your presentation. Each
layout has a descriptive name, but the image of the layout shows you how the placeholders are
arranged on the slide.

 Click Create, and a new presentation will open in the PowerPoint window.
The default slide that appears when you create a new presentation is a Title Slide layout
To Insert Text into a Placeholder:
 Click inside the placeholder. The placeholder text will disappear and the insertion point
will appear.
 Type your text once the insertion point is visible.
 Click outside the placeholder when you have entered all your text into the placeholder.
When you enter text or use the icons to insert items, the placeholder text and/or icons disappear
as soon as you start typing.
To Insert a New Slide:
 Click the New Slide command in the Slides group on the Home tab. A menu will appear
with your slide layout options.
  Click the slide you want to insert. A new slide with the chosen layout will appear in the
center of the PowerPoint window and in the pane on the left.

To Change the Layout of an Existing Slide:

 Select the slide you wish to change.
 Click the Layout command in the Slides group on the Home tab. A menu appears with
your options.
  Click an option to select it. The slide will change in the presentation.

To Copy and Paste a Slide:

 Select the slide you wish to copy.
 Click the Copy command on the Home tab.
  Click inside the slides tab on the left task pane. A horizontal insertion point will appear.
 Move the insertion point to the location you want the copy of the slide to appear.

 Click the Paste command on the Home tab. The copied slide will appear.

You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl and C to copy the slide and Ctrl and V to paste it.

To Delete a Slide:
 Select the slide you wish to delete.
  Click the Delete command in the Slides group on the Home tab.

You can also delete a slide by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.

To Move a Slide:
 Select the slide you wish to move on the slides tab in the left task pane.
 Click and drag the slide to a new location. The insertion point will appear.

 Release the mouse button. The slide will appear in the new location.

Using Different Views from the PowerPoint Window

In the bottom, right corner of the PowerPoint window are three view commands. From here, you
can change the view to Normal, Slide Sorter, or Slide Show view by just clicking a command.

Normal is the default view and where you will create and edit your slides in the center slide pane
and all the slides will appear on the slides tab in the left task pane.
Slide Sorter is a view of your slides in thumbnail form. The slides are presented horizontally,
which allows you to see more slides at a time.
Slide Show view fills the computer screen with your presentation so you can see how the
presentation will appear to the audience.
Saving Your Presentation
If you are saving a document for the first time, you will need to use the Save As command;
however, if you have already saved a presentation, you can use the Save command.
To Use the Save As Command:
 Click the Microsoft Office Button.

 Select Save As. A menu will appear.

 Select the type of file you would like to save the presentation as. The two most
commonly used file types are:
o PowerPoint Presentation -- This saves the presentation as a 2007 PowerPoint
file. Only users with PowerPoint 2007, or the compatibility pack, can view the file
without possibly losing some of the formatting.
 o PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation -- This saves the presentation so that it is
compatible with some previous versions of PowerPoint. If you will be sending the
presentation to someone that does not have Office 2007, you should use this file
type.

 The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location you wish to save the document
using the drop-down menu.

 Enter a name for the document.
