What all the stuff on-screen isSeeing the Microsoft Word screen for the first time is sort of like trying to find your way through Tokyo’s busy Ikebukuro subway station. Just check out the screen. It’s intimidating. But once you start using Microsoft Word, help will quickly follow and you'll find out what everything is. In the meantime, the following table and image gives you some short descriptions.
What is a document?A document is just a fancy word for a letter, report, announcement, or proclamation that you create with Microsoft Word.When you first start Microsoft Office Word, you’ll see a document with the generic name “Document1”. But if you already have a document on-screen and you want to start a new one, click the New Blank Document button from the Standard toolbar. A brand-new document opens with the generic name “Document2” in the title bar. (The title bar is the bar across the top of the computer screen where Microsoft Word help you with identifying the document.) It’s called “Document2” because it’s the second one you’re working on. The document keeps that name, “Document2”, until you save it and give it a name of your choice. New Blank Document button Moving around in a documentDocuments have a habit of getting longer and longer, and as they do that it takes more effort to move around in them. Microsoft Word help with this by making it easier to move around. Here are some keyboard shortcuts for moving the cursor around in documents.
Understanding how paragraphs workBack in English class, your teacher taught you that a paragraph is a part of a longer composition that presents one idea or, in the case of dialogue, represents the words of one speaker. Your teacher was right, too, but for Word Processing purposes, a paragraph is a lot less than that.In Word Processing, a paragraph is simply what you put on-screen before you press the Enter key. For instance, a heading is a paragraph. So is a graphic. If you press Enter on a blank line to go to the next line, the blank line is considered a paragraph. If you type "Dear John" at the top of a letter and press Enter, “Dear John” is a paragraph. It’s important to know this because paragraphs have a lot to do with formatting. If you choose the Format ►Paragraph command and monkey around with the paragraph formatting, all your changes affect everything in the paragraph that the cursor is in. Microsoft Word help you to make formatting changes to a whole paragraph, all you have to do is place the cursor anywhere inside the paragraph. You don’t have to select the paragraph. And if you want to make formatting changes to several paragraphs in a row, all you have to do is select those paragraphs first. Zipping around with the Scroll BarMicrosoft Word help by letting you use the scroll bar to get around in documents. The scroll bar is the vertical bar along the right side of the screen that resembles an elevator shaft.Here's how to move around with the scroll bar:
Working in many documents at onceMicrosoft Word help you to work on more than one document at the same time. This can be a lot of fun, but even sometimes confusing.When you open a new document, a new button is placed on the Taskbar. To go from one document to another, click its taskbar button. You can also click Window from the menu bar and click the name of the document to see it on-screen. And if you want to see all open documents at once, choose Window ►Arrange All. To go from one document to the next, either click in a new windowpane or press CTRL + F6. To focus on one window when several are open, click the minimize button of the windowpanes you don’t want to see anymore. By doing so, you remove the other documents from the screen. Click the Restore button to enlarge the window, you want to work on, to full screen size. To see a window you minimized, either click Window from the menu bar again and choose it from the menu or click its taskbar button. Zooming in or outEyes were not meant to stare at computer screens all day, which makes the Zoom command all the more valuable. Microsoft Word help you to use this command freely and often to enlarge or shrink the text on your screen and preserve your eyes for more important things, like gazing at the horizon.Zoom in or out using any of the following two ways:
