Introduction

Microsoft Word is a word-processor that lets you create a variety of different documents such as letters, single-file reports, multi-file reports, books, brochures, newsletters, and web pages. Word processing software lets you create, edit, format, store, retrieve, and print a text document. Creating is writing and composing the document. Editing refers to making changes to the document to fix errors or improve it. Formatting is making the document look attractive. Storing means saving it on a disk. Retrieving is opening the saved document from disk into computer memory. Printing is producing the document on paper, using a printer connected to the computer. Microsoft Word provides powerful and easy-to-use tools. A few of its capabilities are: checking and correcting spelling and grammar, handling page organization such as page numbers, headers and footers, having auto texts, symbols and clipart, working with tables, and formatting text by one button clicking.

Uses

of Word

Microsoft Word can be used at home, at school and at work. At home, one can write notes, memos, letters, labels, envelopes, create cards, stickers or flyers. In schools, Word may be used for writing homework, theses, research notes, time tables or certificates. People working in business may use Word to set up faxes, reports, contracts, business cards or mail merge documents. It is also easy to prepare a resume or CV using Word. Word can create complex or specialized documents that are normally created by more specialized software applications such as: Web pages: Easier to use than Microsoft FrontPage, Word has Web publishing features that let you create Web pages with ease. Brochures, newsletters, and other documents with complex page layouts: Microsoft Publisher might be able to do a better job at creating short, layout-intensive documents. However, Word's improved drawing and layout features make it a highly viable tool for creating these kinds of documents. Printer-ready publications: Dedicated desktop publishing packages (such as Adobe PageMaker, or Quark Press) do a
Introduction to Microsoft Word

superb job of creating printer-ready publications with precise page layouts, cross-references, indexes, tables of contents, and so on. Word is ideal for the initial organizing, writing, editing, and proofreading of a publication. However, you can also do quite a good job in Word of preparing the final printer-ready publication. If your page layout needs are a bit demanding for Word's tools, you can always transfer your Word document to a dedicated desktop publishing program to create the final layout. Tables of numbers or other data: Clearly, Microsoft Excel is the tool of choice for working with numbers, and Microsoft Access for working with databases. However, Word tables can be used to store and display reasonable amounts of numeric or textual data. Word even provides mathematical functions for working with numbers in tables, as well as database tools for working with data fields and records in tables. Why use Word for a task that can be performed with a more specialized software program, perhaps one which is already installed on your computer? The main reason is that you probably already know how to use Word, and the extra features of a more specialized program might not be worth the time required to learn a new software package, especially if you create only an occasional Web page, brochure, or other specialized document. You might also have existing Word documents that you can quickly convert to Web pages or other specialized formats. You can thus use Word to improve not only your current skills, but also your existing collection of documents. Practice Starting the Word Program 1 On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button at the bottom left corner of your screen. 2 Select All Programs and point to Microsoft Office. 3 Move the mouse pointer over and click on Microsoft Office Word 2007.
