Introduction to Microsoft Word John Rovie R. Balingbing | FCA/IT2 What is Microsoft Word? What is Microsoft Word? Microsoft Word is word processing software. It is developed by Microsoft and is part of Microsoft Office Suite. It enables you to create, edit and save professional documents like letters and reports. Brief History of Microsoft Word? ~1983~ Microsoft Word was released in 1983 as Multi-Tool Word. Its first version was based on the framework of Bravo which was the world's first graphical writing program. Microsoft renamed Multi-Tool Word to Microsoft Word, and then in October 1983, Microsoft released its first version for the IBM PC. ~1989~ In 1989, Microsoft released a new version of Word for its Windows operating system. It was Microsoft Word that introduced the concept of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), i.e. it allowed to creation and display of bold and italics text. Overview of the Microsoft Word interface? Microsoft Word Interface File Tab The File tab replaces the Office button from Word 2007. You can click it to check the Backstage view. This is where you come when you need to open or save files, create new documents, print a document, and do other file-related operations. Quick Access Toolbar This you will find just above the File tab. This is a convenient resting place for the most frequently used commands in Word. You can customize this toolbar based on your comfort. Ribbon Ribbon contains commands organized in three components − Tabs − These appear across the top of the Ribbon and contain groups of related commands. Home, Insert, Page Layout are examples of ribbon tabs. Groups − They organize related commands; each group name appears below the group on the Ribbon. For example, group of commands related to fonts or group of commands related to alignment, etc. Commands − Commands appear within each group as mentioned above. Title bar This lies in the middle and at the top of the window. Title bar shows the program and document titles. Rulers Word has two rulers - a horizontal ruler and a vertical ruler. The horizontal ruler appears just beneath the Ribbon and is used to set margins and tab stops. The vertical ruler appears on the left edge of the Word window and is used to gauge the vertical position of elements on the page. Help The Help Icon can be used to get word-related help anytime you like. This provides a nice tutorial on various subjects related to Word. Zoom Control Zoom control lets you zoom in for a closer look at your text. The zoom control consists of a slider that you can slide left or right to zoom in or out; you can click the + buttons to increase or decrease the zoom factor. View Buttons The group of five buttons located to the left of the Zoom control, near the bottom of the screen, lets you switch through the Word's various document views. Print Layout view − This displays pages exactly as they will appear when printed. Full Screen Reading view − This gives a full screen view of the document. View Buttons Web Layout view − This shows how a document appears when viewed by a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer. Outline view − This lets you work with outlines established using Word’s standard heading styles. Draft view − This formats text as it appears on the printed page with a few exceptions. For example, headers and footers aren't shown. Most people prefer this mode. Document Area This is the area where you type. The flashing vertical bar is called the insertion point and it represents the location where text will appear when you type. Status Bar This displays the document information as well as the insertion point location. From left to right, this bar contains the total number of pages and words in the document, language, etc. You can configure the status bar by right-clicking anywhere on it and by selecting or deselecting options from the provided list. Dialog Box Launcher This appears as a very small arrow in the lower-right corner of many groups on the Ribbon. Clicking this button opens a dialogue box or task pane that provides more options about the group.  Moving with Keyboards (Controls and Shortcuts) Microsoft Word Controls Microsoft Word Controls  Do you have any questions?
