Self-instruction manual for working in Word. Video lessons Microsoft Word for Beginners from Andrey Sukhovoy
The Word package is designed for creating and editing various kinds of documents, including reports, letters, stickers, etc. In addition to working with text, the package has quite simple remedies working with figures and tables. In addition, this package allows you to use data from other applications such as Excel, Access, Internet Explorer, Outlook, etc.
There are currently several versions of this package. The most famous are Word 6.0, Word 7.0 (package Microsoft Office 97), Word 8.0 (Microsoft Office 2000 package), Word XP (Microsoft Office XP package), Word 2003, Word 2007 and Word 2010. There were also various packages for working in the DOS system, but the work in them is almost the same. In this book we will consider Word version 2000 for Windows; in the future, instead of Word 2000, we will simply write Word. Note that Word 2000, Word XP and Word 2003 are quite close to each other. You can verify this by looking at the differences between Word 2000 and Word XP, which we will show later in this article. Next Word version 2007 is sharply different from more earlier versions, since the modes are mixed up compared to older versions. Next version- Word 2010 (Microsoft Office 2010 package). It is planned to write these two versions over time and post them on this site as separate pages.
To work with some features of the package, additional programs may be required, for example, to work with inserting mathematical formulas, a program is required Microsoft Equation Editor, so you need this package to be installed on your computer. The Word package allows you to use quite a lot of files of various formats, but not all. To increase the number of formats, you need to expand the package with additional converter programs.
In the first part of the section, we will look at the basic operations of the package using examples - how to call text file on the screen for work, how to create/edit a document and save it in a file, etc. The second part contains basic commands package, and the third briefly describes the modes top menu. The best way mastering the package is practical work, when the user first gets acquainted with the basic operating modes of the package, and then tries other modes on his own, using the reference part of the book. Therefore, it is recommended to first create a document, print it and save it, then call it up, edit and save it, that is, try the basic operations of working with the package, and then begin to get acquainted with other capabilities of the package. The following chapters will help you with this, which briefly describe the main actions that can be performed with a document.
First steps in Word
Starting the program
To enter the Word editor, you can use the mode: Start →Programs→ Microsoft Word with the icon shown on the left, move the mouse cursor to it and click the left mouse button. Another way to launch the editor is to find this icon on the table, if it is displayed on it, move the mouse cursor and double-click the mouse. Sometimes it is useful to set the package to start automatically when you turn on the computer. To do this, use the mode: Start → Settings → Taskbar and Start Menu→Menu setup →
When working with a document, it is recommended to use the save mode more often (File →Save), especially when you are dealing with complex document, containing a lot of graphics, so that if the power suddenly turns off or the program crashes, the latest changes will be saved.
Main components of the package main windowThe appearance of the main window varies and depends on the user settings. Let's look at the most common appearance package in fig. below.
The package window consists of:
- top line or a title line that contains the name of the program (Document 6) running in this moment. There are window buttons along the edges, on the left - to call up a submenu for working with this task, and on the right - to open windows;
Strings main menu with the names of mode groups, to the right of which there are three buttons for working with the document;
Two lines with pictograms(standard and formatting), either of which represents the text modes described below;
- main window with the text of the document where the work takes place;
- vertical scroll line or scroll bar(to the right of the main window), which allows you to view those parts of the document that do not fit on the screen at the top and bottom;
- scale rulers indicating the document size vertically and horizontally;
- horizontal line or scroll bars(below the main window), which allows you to view those parts of the document that do not fit on the screen on the left and right;
- status line or status bars, where the current state of the editor is displayed.
In addition, in the main field there is a cursor in the form of a vertical line for entering text, a mouse cursor in the form of an arrow, and the end of the file in the form of a horizontal line.
Now you can work with the document. If you need to correct existing text, you must first call it from the file. To do this, you need to know the file name and the directory where it is located. How to download document text is described below.
If you have just started working with the program or have recently sat down at the computer, you can type small text several times, at least a few characters, and try to save them, then open this file, make new additions and print the resulting text.
Creating a document, typing text, and printing a document
Suppose you need to create a short letter and print it. Click on the open document button, which is located at the top left of the screen. To do this, move the mouse cursor, which looks like an arrow (), to this icon so that the point is inside the icon, and press and then release left button mice. The main document window will become white, in it, a vertical dash will blink at the top left, which indicates the keyboard cursor, that is, indicates the place where the symbols entered from the keyboard, that is, letters, will be located.
To get acquainted with the package for the first time, we will enter a few characters from the keyboard, for example, “Checking document printing.” In order to enter a capital letter “P”, you need to press the “ Shift" and, without releasing it, press the letter "p", enter the remaining characters without pressing " Shift" After entering this text, press the " Enter", and the cursor will move to the line below.
To print, you need to click on the button, which is also located on the top left (). If the printer is connected to a computer, a page will be displayed on which the text you have typed will appear.
When finished, you can use the File → Close mode, which closes the document. To do this, move the mouse cursor to the name File, then click on the left mouse button and quickly release it. From now on we will call this action “click”. So, click on the title “File”. After this, a menu with modes called File will appear on the screen, which is shown on the right. It contains several lines, each of which indicates a mode. We are interested in the “Close” mode. The panels in Word 2000 display only the basic modes. In order to display the rest, you need to click on the down arrow (), as a result the window shown on the left will appear. Click on the name “Close” with the mouse, as we did with the name File.
Since text has been typed in the document, the following request will appear on the screen: “ Save changes to Document6? In this case, the document name (Document6) is taken by default, since we have not yet specified a different name. After initial installation The package file name will be “Document1”, then “Document2” and so on. They will be located in the default directory for the package.
You can click on the “Yes” button, and a document called “Document6” will appear on your hard drive and the typed text will be saved in it. If you click on the “No” button, you will exit the adjustment mode of this document, the text will not be saved and the file will not be created. This mode is used when the typed text will no longer be used. When you click on the “Cancel” button, you will again switch to the mode of working with this document, and the file is not written to disk.
Create a document, print and save under a new name
Suppose you need to create a document, which is shown in the figure on the right.
To do this, first create a document by clicking on the open document button, then enter the text of the application, and then proceed to formatting the document.
After entering the text “Manager of Ozon LLC” you need to press the key Enter. Here and below, the name of the key is in italics (italics) without quotation marks. After entering the second line, we will also use the key Enter and press it again to separate the header of the letter from its name. Next, enter the text “Application” and press the key again several times Enter. This way we will type the text of the entire document.
When typing text, you can mistakenly press the wrong key. To delete the character you just entered, you need to press the key Backspace, which deletes the character to the left of the cursor position (vertical flashing line). If several incorrect characters are entered, you can press this key several times, or you can press and hold it until all unnecessary characters are deleted. After entering the text, it will look like the figure on the left.
The text doesn't look very nice because there is no formatting applied to it. First, let's increase the font size by selecting it using the mode Edit →Select All. Hereinafter, we will understand this action as follows: first, click on the name Edit in top line modes, then in the menu that appears – Select all. The text characters after this operation will be displayed on the screen in white and the background in black. Next, place the mouse cursor on the downward-facing arrow in the font size setting mode (). After clicking on it, a board will appear below with numbers corresponding to the font size. If there isn't the right size font (in our case - 13), then enter it from the keyboard and press the key Enter.
The next step is to align the text. To do this, place the cursor on the top line of text and click on the button align text to the right border (), and do the same for the second and last line. Now place the cursor on the word “Statement” and click on the centering button (), select the main text of the statement, click on the text alignment button (). Without deselecting the main text, let's set an indent. To do this we use the mode: Format →Paragraph… →Indents and spacing →first line:(indentation) and to: (0.9). This means that in the Format menu you need to select the Paragraph... mode in the menu that appears, then a window will appear in which you specify the tab Indents and spacing. In the window that appears, you need to select the mode indentation in the field the first line: and on the right in the field on: set the value to 0.9. This can be done in two ways: 1. place the cursor in the field at:, to do this, move the mouse cursor there and click the left mouse button, then enter from the keyboard desired value or 2. Click the up or down arrows to the right of the field until the desired value appears.
At the end of the adjustment, select the text “Statement”, for which we place the cursor to the left of the “Z” symbol, click on the left mouse button, and without releasing it, move it to the end of the word (to the right of the “I” symbol), then release the left mouse button . Next, click on the bold button (). The text is ready for printing; you can print the document by clicking on the corresponding button ().
At the end of the work, we will save the document in a file, for which we will use the mode: File →Save As. In the window that appears, in the File name: field there is a name that the program takes from the first line of the document, and it is highlighted and you can leave it, or, if you want to name the document something else, enter it from the keyboard, then click on the button Save . This will complete the work with the document. To remove it from the screen, you need to use the mode File → Close.
Correction and saving in another file
Let's assume that you need to rewrite the application, indicating a different name of the organization. To do this, first call the file using the File → Open mode, the window view of which is shown in the figure on the left.
The main window of the mode contains the names of the files in the directory. To select the desired file, move the cursor to its name and left-click, after which the file name will appear in the File name: field. Now you need to click on the Open button and then you can start editing the document. You can open the file by double-clicking the mouse, that is, moving the mouse cursor to the name the desired file and double-click and release the left mouse button. This action is called double click mouse on the selected file name.
After opening the document, you need to place the cursor in front of the text “LLC” and click the mouse, that is, press and release the left mouse button. To delete text to the right of the cursor, use the key Del. Click it and wait until the name text disappears, after which you can enter a new organization name.
When finished, you can save the document in the same file using the following mode: File →Save and File →Close, or just one mode File →Close, but a window will appear on the screen asking whether you need to exit the mode, as indicated above. If you need to save a document in another file so that the original document also remains, then use the
