If you have a lot of information, then a new sheet will automatically be created when the text no longer fits on the first sheet.

In Microsoft Word 2007 2010, you can set different headers and footers for even and odd pages using the header and footer tool. Instead of even page numbers in this case, you can write the phrase you need, which will be repeated identically on all other even pages.
Odd numbers will run their course in order - 1, 3, 5, 7 and so on.
If you need one of the pages not to show its number, it's better not to delve into all the subtleties, but just cheat.
In order to make mirror margins, go to the "Page Layout" tab. Select the text for which you want to apply this function.

In order to create a table in Microsoft Word (versions 2007 and 2010), you need to go to the "Insert" tab, where the table settings window is located in the access panel.
You can create a table of the desired size by choosing to insert a table with the desired number of rows and columns.
A table will appear on the sheet at the same time, and its size will be indicated in the table insertion window. The maximum grid size is 10 by 8.
If you need more columns, you can go to the "Insert Table..." menu and specify the required size.
Or you can do the same with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Let's say you have a large table that won't fit on one sheet. In order not to manually transfer the table headers to a new sheet each time, you can make a repeating header.
Select the entire row with the table header.
In the "Table Tools", "Layout" tab, from the "Data" menu, select "Repeat Header Rows"
After clicking on the next page, the exact same heading appears with the same formatting as on the first page. If you change the title in one place, it will be exactly the same in other sheets as well.
In order for the table to maintain its integrity when adding text higher in the document, do the following:
On the Home tab, go to the Paragraph dialog menu. Check the checkboxes in the position on the page tab opposite Do not tear off from the next.
To make an announcement with tear-off leaves, use the table.
Merge the cells in one of the rows.
Select the second row and change the height of the cells in it. To do this, in the "Working with tables", "Layout" tab, change the value in this field:

Click on the "Picture" button, and a selection dialog box will open in front of you. Go to the folder where the picture is saved and select it. The Insert Picture dialog box will look different depending on the version of the operating system on your PC.
The picture will be added to the text, and you will control its position using the Picture Tools tab, which appears after clicking on the picture in the document.
Clicking on the picture also brings up six tools to control its size. If you drag one of them, the picture will stretch after it.
If you want to draw some kind of drawing yourself, then a set of simple shapes is located in the same place as the drawing insert.
When you click on the "Shapes" symbol, a window appears with a set of standard options for shapes.
You can't just change the transparency level of the entire image. For this operation, you will have to go through several steps.
A square like this will appear - blue in the 2010 version, white with a black outline - in 2007. Resize it by dragging the corner or sides, left-clicking on the circles in the corners, squares in the middle of the sides.
The Drawing Tools tab appears on the toolbar. It is active when the shape is selected and disappears when the user is working in another area of the document, such as text.
In the "Format" tab, the "Shape Styles" menu, select the "Shape Fill" - "Picture" command.
The "Insert Picture" dialog box will appear, in which you select one of the picture files available on your PC.
After selecting an image and adding it, you will see the following result:
Manually adjust the size of the shape (rectangle) so that the picture is not distorted.
Now, when you click on the picture area, two additional tabs will appear:
In the tab "Drawing Tools" - "Format" you need to remove the outline of the figure.
Now you can start changing the transparency of the picture. In the same tab "Drawing Tools" - "Format", open the "Format Shape" dialog box.
In the window that appears for version 2010 there is a side menu, select the "Fill" line in it.
Drag the transparency slider to the desired value and click Close.
In the 2007 version, the shape format window looks like this:
Drag the transparency slider and click OK.
Add a picture to your document by going to the Insert tab, Illustrations menu.
When the picture is in the document, click on it to bring up an additional Picture Tools tab.
In this tab, in the "Picture Styles" menu, there are ready-made options for framing a picture.
You can change them slightly through the Format Shape dialog box after you've applied one of the styles to a drawing.
For version 2007, this window looks like this:
For version 2010 - as follows:
In this window, the lines "Line color" and "Line type" belong to the borders of the picture. After clicking on one of them, the parameters available for editing are opened in the right part of the dialog box.
You can make a frame yourself using the "Picture Border" function.
In the menu that opens after clicking on the "Picture Border" line, you need to select the thickness of the line and its color.
For these cases it is better to use graphic editor, even the simplest Paint. But even here you can add captions to the picture using simple methods and more difficult.
When you click on the line "Draw an inscription", the mouse takes the form of a black plus, and you can use it anywhere in the document to make a field for the inscription. Press the left mouse button, and without releasing it, move in any direction. When you release the mouse, a rectangle like this will appear:
Enter text into it, change the color of the text using the "Font" menu in the "Home" tab.
You also need to make the background of the inscription transparent. Click on the text box to bring up the Drawing Tools tab.
Here you can remove the outline of the inscription:
Select the picture to display the Picture Tools tab.
Click on the "Flip left to right" line, and the picture will be flipped.
The program has blank title pages. They are located in the "Insert" tab.
For version 2007:
For version 2010:
Choose from any of the appropriate cover page types.
The page contains markup for text, by clicking on which you can enter text.
In situations where parts of the text must be adjacent (for example, the surname and initials), you need to use a non-breaking space. It is set instead of the usual space by pressing the Ctrl + Shift + Space (space) combination on the keyboard.
You can find out whether a regular space or a non-breaking space is set using the "Display all characters" function.
After clicking on this character between words, at the end of paragraphs and in other places, those characters that are not visible without this function will be displayed. This includes a space, a non-breaking space, a transition to the next section, and so on.
A space is represented by a single dot between words. A non-breaking space is a small circle.
The function is turned off, as it is turned on, by a single left-click on its symbol in the "Paragraph" menu, "Home" tab.
By default, the space between words in Microsoft Word is permanent if you justify the text in any way other than Justify.
The last alignment just occurs due to the increase in the intervals between words.
Turn it off so that the spaces become the same again. And to make the text evenly spaced between the left and right margins, turn on automatic hyphenation.
The size of the gap can be changed. To do this, select the text and then right-click. Click on the "Font" line.
A dialog menu will open. Go to the "Advanced" tab, where there are various functions for changing the text. The second line is "Interval". It can be made smaller (compacted) or larger (sparse).
Microsoft Program Word has available almost all (if not all) elements for creating flowcharts. They are located in the "Insert" tab, "Illustrations" menu. It is better to create a full-fledged technological, electrical or other circuit in an editor more suitable for these cases, and through it.
Click on the "Shapes" symbol and a large menu will open in front of you with all the shapes available in this editor. Among them, flowchart figures are highlighted in a separate paragraph.
You can connect individual blocks using lines, different variants which are also available in this menu.
Click on the desired flowchart element and draw it on the sheet. For example:
Change the color of the outline and inner margin of the element manually using the following tools:
or choose one of the predefined styles for the block:
To add text to a block, select it and start writing without waiting for the blinking cursor to appear.
The text inside the block can be changed like any other text in the program.
If the block diagram is inside text document, it is better to do it in a separate document. This way you will avoid unnecessary offsets while working on the text above the diagram.
To make it convenient to move the finished block diagram through the text without losing any part of it, you need to combine the blocks into a single element.
Select one element of the scheme and hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard. While holding down the key, click on the remaining elements of the scheme, release the Ctrl key. All blocks stand out. Then right-click on the outline of one of the block shapes, and in the menu that appears, click on the "Group" line.
Now all the elements will form a single whole. You can merge in stages, in separate blocks, combining only a few parts - this will make it easier for you to make adjustments.
If you need to alphabetize a list (for example, a bibliography), do the following:
Without changing any settings, you will get an alphabetically sorted list after clicking "OK". In both 2007 and 2010 versions of the program, the function has the same location, a dialog box.
The same applies to sorting in tables. Let's say you have a table like this.
You need to alphabetize the names. Select the last name column and click on the sort symbol.
Result:
Sorting sorted the last names alphabetically, while moving the data in the second column.

If you accidentally clicked in the wrong place, there is always a curved arrow in the upper left corner that allows you to undo the last action. You can also do this using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl and Z.
One final piece of advice before starting the detailed instructions on how to use the Windows text editor - don't forget to save the file. This is especially important when working with voluminous texts or serious documentation. Anything can happen: they can turn off the electricity, the laptop can be discharged and turn off, and no one is safe from breakdowns. Losing important files and then spending hours on their recovery is not the most pleasant experience. All you need is to click on the floppy disk in the upper left corner from time to time.
The program can be found in the Start menu under "Microsoft Office". Follow these step-by-step instructions to launch a document in Microsoft Word.
Step 1. From your desktop or Start menu, open Microsoft Word.
Step 2 Microsoft Word will open and prompt you to select a document template or a blank document.
Step 3 If you don't want to use any of the displayed templates, click on an empty document.
Step 4 A new blank document will open for you to start typing.
Step 1. A blinking cursor (mouse pointer) in a document tells you where you are typing. Wherever the blinking cursor is, the letters you type will be inserted at that point. When you start a blank document, the blinking cursor will be at the beginning of your document, which means it's ready to start typing.
Step 2 As you type, the cursor also moves with each letter. This shows you where the input focus is.
Step 3. Move the mouse pointer to where you want to change or add text. Click. The blinking cursor will move to where you clicked to edit or paste text.
Step 4 You can navigate through the document using the arrows. Pressing these arrow keys moves the blinking cursor up and down lines of text, and right/left one character at a time.
You can navigate through the document using the arrows.
Selecting or highlighting text allows you to change the selection in terms of style, font and/or color, and even replace words if needed. Follow these step-by-step instructions to select text in a document.
Step 1. The mouse is used to select text. As you move, the pointer will change.
Step 2. Move the pointer to the beginning of the required fragment. Click and hold the left mouse button. As you do this, move the pointer to where you want to stop the selection. As you move the mouse, the text will be highlighted. When you have finished your selection, release the left mouse button.
The selected text can now be formatted or modified.
You can copy text using the Ctrl+C keys. Delete text - Backspace.
The following actions can help make your text more interesting and attractive. The text can be changed in different ways.
Step 1. First you need to select a fragment of text, you already know how to do it.
Step 2 To change the font style, click the arrow next to the font style in the toolbar.
Step 3 Select a font style from the dropdown list.
Step 4 Next to the font style box is a box containing a number and an arrow. It changes the font size. Click on the arrow. Select the size as well as the style from the drop-down list of options. So, choosing the font Bad Scrit and the size - 16, we get the following.
Sometimes the created document may require a different arrangement of paragraphs. By default, text is left-aligned. However, text can be aligned both right-aligned and centered.
On a note! Select all text Ctrl + A
Step 1. To change the layout of your text, select the text in any way you like.
Step 2 To center it, click the Align Center icon in the formatting ribbon at the top of the document.

You can change the selected text using a combination of keyboard shortcuts, which is sometimes easier:
The ability to change the font style can make your document more interesting. Different text styles, such as bold or italic, can make it stand out. Underlining can be useful for headings.
Step 1. As usual, select the piece of text you need.
Step 2 To change the selected font to bold, click Y in the format bar.
Step 3 To change the selected font to italic, click "K" in the formatting ribbon.
Step 4. To change the selected text so that it is underlined, click "H" on the formatting ribbon.
Step 5. You can also change the selected text using keyboard shortcuts:
There is no need to talk about the importance of these two functions. They significantly save our time, allow us to insert text from third-party sources without retyping it, as was the case in the days of typewriters.
Step 1. Select the section you want.
Step 2 Click the copy icon on the left side of the format ribbon. The text will be immediately copied to your computer's clipboard.
Step 3. Move the cursor and click Paste.
You can also do this using hotkeys. Everything is the same as last time: press Ctrl and C at the same time to copy the text, and Ctrl and V to paste.
Using numbered or bulleted lists can help highlight items or show important steps, hierarchy, or sequence of something.
Step 1. To create a numbered list, click the numbering icon.
Step 2 The first paragraph will appear in the text.
Step 3 Start typing your text. When finished, press the "Enter" button on your keyboard. The second item will appear. And so on.
To stop adding new elements and return to standard text, click the numbering icon again at the top of the document.
The bulleted list is created in the same way, the only difference is 1 step. Instead of the "Numbering" button, click on the "Markers" button, it is located to the right.
There is another way to create a list. First, the user enters all the items in the list, each necessarily on a new line. When all the items are typed, select them all and click either on the numbering or on the markers, depending on which list you need.
You will get the same result. These are different ways and there is no right or wrong, the main thing is that the goal is achieved. Use the method that is convenient for you.
Numbered list example
Tables help structure information and present it in a more presentable way. This skill is indispensable.
Step 1. On the top toolbar, go to the "Insert" tab.
Step 2 Click on the table icon. A window will open in front of you in which you need to select the number of cells. You can do this by entering the numbers manually. To do this, on the panel that appears, click on the "Draw Table" area.
You just have to fill in the fields. If you suddenly need additional rows or columns, you do not have to redo it entirely. Left click in the table area. In the menu that appears, click "Insert" and select the appropriate option.
This basic knowledge should form your basic principles of working with text. Let's highlight the main ones:
To make a second page in Microsoft Word 2007/2010, you do not need to repeatedly press the "Enter" key. There is a page break feature for this. You can find it in the "Insert" tab.
A page break is not as static as a void created by multiple Enter presses. If you add some text at the top before the page break, it will not affect the state of the next page after the page break.
If you have a lot of information, then a new sheet will automatically be created when the text no longer fits on the first sheet.
There are two stripes at the top and left side of the Microsoft Word 2007/2010 window.
With the help of the ruler, you can move the text without making a lot of spaces, but in two or three mouse clicks.
First line indent. Makes the paragraph the right size while the Tab key is set to the default value of 1.25 cm. Select the paragraph or all the text, and set the first line indent to the desired value.
To move all text to the right, except for the first line, use "Protrusion"
If you want all the text to be closer to the right side, drag the box labeled Left Indent.
Click on any number in the ruler with the mouse. It has this sign on it.
Now after pressing the Tab key, the text will move to this distance, and will be located to the right of the sign.
Click again on another ruler value, position the cursor further on the same line, and press Tab again.
So it is convenient to spread the text when designing works, titles, and the like.
With each click on it, one of the tools will appear:
Having selected one of them, it will appear when you click on the ruler until you replace it with another one.
To set the required spacing between lines in the text, go to the Home tab. In the paragraph menu there is a symbol, clicking on which displays a window with standard options for line spacing.
You can customize the spacing according to your own parameters if you select the item "More line spacing options ...".
When changing the value of the interval, the gap between lines of text will be clearly demonstrated in the lower window "Sample".
In the main tab, the "Paragraph" menu, there is a tool for editing line spacing, here the user will also find the function of adding spacing before and after a paragraph.
Place the cursor in the desired paragraph, and select one of the spacing options - single, one and a half, double or other.
In order to find out the number of characters in a document, the number of words or pages, just look at the lower left corner of the open Microsoft Word 2007/2010 window. The number of pages and information about which page the user is currently on is immediately displayed in the line "Page: 1 of _". The rest of the statistics can be obtained by clicking on the line "Number of words: _".
A blank sheet in the program has its own invisible markup. At the top and bottom of the sheet, there are areas for headers and footers, which are empty by default.
Any text can also be placed here (entered manually; it will be repeated on each sheet) or pagination.
Double-clicking with the left mouse button on the sheet area closer to its upper or lower border will automatically open the header and footer editing constructor for the user. On the left side of the menu, you can select any of the desired types of numbering.
Numbering can be located both at the top of the page and at the bottom, and even in the margins.
You will also find the pagination function in the "Insert" tab.
To use the auto-assembled table of contents, you need to:
Set the heading or subheading style (“Main” - “Styles”) for those sentences that should be in the content;
You can change the style - select the desired font, color, spacing, and set it for the header style. All other proposals in this style will be the same in design.
You can also change the word "Table of Contents". Select it and use the tools from the Font panel.
You've added a table of contents to the text, but you don't like that the gap between the section title and the page number is filled with dots. This can be changed. Highlight your table of contents, and then go to the "Links" tab.
After clicking "Contents" a dialog box appears. In the "Placeholder" line, select any of the four options and click "OK".
After that, another dialog box will appear, asking you to confirm that you really want to apply the adjustments for the table of contents. Click "Yes" again.
After that, the line placeholder will be the way you chose it. In the example, we chose the placeholder "(none)", that is, there is nothing between the words and the number as a placeholder.
To add hyphens to text, go to the "Page Layout" tab.
Here in the Page Setup menu is the Hyphenation tool. Click on the arrow in the command line, and a menu with hyphenation options will open.
For automatic hyphenation, select the "Auto" line.
To make a footnote in Microsoft Word 2007/2010, go to the "Links" tab.
Place the cursor after the text you want to point to as a footnote and click Insert Footnote. After the text, a small number will appear, and at the bottom of the sheet - a line with the same number, and a place for the footnote text.
Footnote numbering will automatically pick up the text position, regardless of the order in which you set the footnotes - from the end of the document, from the beginning of the document, or randomly.
The break function in Microsoft Word 2007/2010 is placed in two tabs. In the "Insert" tab in the "Pages" menu is the item "Page Break". It is used to move from the end of the text on one sheet to the beginning of the page of the next sheet in one click.
In the "Page Layout" tab, the "Page Setup" menu, there is also a break function, but not only for moving to the next page, but also for breaking a column, sections.

Go to the "Page Layout" tab to set the margins for the page in Microsoft Word 2007/2010. In the second left menu "Page Setup" there is a sub-item "Margins". When you click on it, a window with standard field options appears.
You can also set them as large or small as you wish, or set specific margins for a single page.
The standard sheet orientation in Microsoft Word is portrait (vertical).
To make a page with landscape orientation (place the sheet horizontally), the user needs to go to the “Page Layout” tab, where two types of sheet orientation are offered in the page settings.
To make only one sheet in a different orientation, select the text on the page you want, and then open the Page Setup dialog box.

To break the text into columns, go to the "Page Layout" tab.
Select the text that you want to split into a certain number of columns and click on the "Columns" icon. A menu will appear in which you can select the desired number of columns for text distribution.
We click on "Three" and we get:

In the "Number of columns" line, select the number you need (using the side arrows next to the line or manually, using the keyboard), and also adjust the spacing between the columns.
By clicking on the "Apply" menu, you can make a choice - to split the entire document into columns or only the section that is selected.
The booklet is an A4 sheet, which has a certain background, landscape orientation, and its text is divided into three columns.

Here, select one of the text alignment options.
Add, edit text and change the type, type, font size as usual - through the "Font" and "Paragraph" menus on the "Home" tab. In the horizontal solid line, add the main information of the ad.
If you need to add a picture to the text, and this picture is saved on your computer, go to the "Insert" tab, "Illustrations" menu.
Click on the "Picture" button, and a selection dialog box will open in front of you. Go to the folder where the picture is saved and select it. The Insert Picture dialog box will look different depending on the version of the operating system on your PC.
The picture will be added to the text, and you will control its position using the Picture Tools tab, which appears after clicking on the picture in the document.
Clicking on the picture also brings up six tools to control its size. If you drag one of them, the picture will stretch after it.
If you want to draw some kind of drawing yourself, then a set of simple shapes is located in the same place as the drawing insert.
When you click on the "Shapes" symbol, a window appears with a set of standard options for shapes.
You can't just change the transparency level of the entire image. For this operation, you will have to go through several steps.
A square like this will appear - blue in the 2010 version, white with a black outline - in 2007. Resize it by dragging the corner or sides, left-clicking on the circles in the corners, squares in the middle of the sides.
The Drawing Tools tab appears on the toolbar. It is active when the shape is selected and disappears when the user is working in another area of the document, such as text.
In the "Format" tab, the "Shape Styles" menu, select the "Shape Fill" - "Picture" command.
The "Insert Picture" dialog box will appear, in which you select one of the picture files available on your PC.
After selecting an image and adding it, you will see the following result:
Manually adjust the size of the shape (rectangle) so that the picture is not distorted.
Now, when you click on the picture area, two additional tabs will appear:
In the tab "Drawing Tools" - "Format" you need to remove the outline of the figure.
Now you can start changing the transparency of the picture. In the same tab "Drawing Tools" - "Format", open the "Format Shape" dialog box.
In the window that appears for version 2010 there is a side menu, select the "Fill" line in it.
Drag the transparency slider to the desired value and click Close.
In the 2007 version, the shape format window looks like this:
Drag the transparency slider and click OK.
Add a picture to your document by going to the Insert tab, Illustrations menu.
When the picture is in the document, click on it to bring up an additional Picture Tools tab.
In this tab, in the "Picture Styles" menu, there are ready-made options for framing a picture.
You can change them slightly through the Format Shape dialog box after you've applied one of the styles to a drawing.
For version 2007, this window looks like this:
For version 2010 - as follows:
In this window, the lines "Line color" and "Line type" belong to the borders of the picture. After clicking on one of them, the parameters available for editing are opened in the right part of the dialog box.
You can make a frame yourself using the "Picture Border" function.
In the menu that opens after clicking on the "Picture Border" line, you need to select the thickness of the line and its color.
For these cases, it is better to use graphic editors, even the simplest Paint. But even here you can add captions to the picture using simple and more complicated methods.
When you click on the line "Draw an inscription", the mouse takes the form of a black plus, and you can use it anywhere in the document to make a field for the inscription. Press the left mouse button, and without releasing it, move in any direction. When you release the mouse, a rectangle like this will appear:
Enter text into it, change the color of the text using the "Font" menu in the "Home" tab.
You also need to make the background of the inscription transparent. Click on the text box to bring up the Drawing Tools tab.
Here you can remove the outline of the inscription:
Select the picture to display the Picture Tools tab.
Click on the "Flip left to right" line, and the picture will be flipped.
The program has blank title pages. They are located in the "Insert" tab.
For version 2007:
For version 2010:
Choose from any of the appropriate cover page types.
The page contains markup for text, by clicking on which you can enter text.
In situations where parts of the text must be adjacent (for example, the surname and initials), you need to use a non-breaking space. It is set instead of the usual space by pressing the Ctrl + Shift + Space (space) combination on the keyboard.
You can find out whether a regular space or a non-breaking space is set using the "Display all characters" function.
After clicking on this character between words, at the end of paragraphs and in other places, those characters that are not visible without this function will be displayed. This includes a space, a non-breaking space, a transition to the next section, and so on.
A space is represented by a single dot between words. A non-breaking space is a small circle.
The function is turned off, as it is turned on, by a single left-click on its symbol in the "Paragraph" menu, "Home" tab.
By default, the space between words in Microsoft Word is permanent if you justify the text in any way other than Justify.
The last alignment just occurs due to the increase in the intervals between words.
Turn it off so that the spaces become the same again. And to make the text evenly spaced between the left and right margins, turn on automatic hyphenation.
The size of the gap can be changed. To do this, select the text and then right-click. Click on the "Font" line.
A dialog menu will open. Go to the "Advanced" tab, where there are various functions for changing the text. The second line is "Interval". It can be made smaller (compacted) or larger (sparse).
Microsoft Word has almost all (if not all) elements for creating flowcharts. They are located in the "Insert" tab, "Illustrations" menu. It is better to create a full-fledged technological, electrical or other circuit in an editor more suitable for these cases, and through it.
Click on the "Shapes" symbol and a large menu will open in front of you with all the shapes available in this editor. Among them, flowchart figures are highlighted in a separate paragraph.
You can connect individual blocks using lines, different options for which are also available in this menu.
Click on the desired flowchart element and draw it on the sheet. For example:
Change the color of the outline and inner margin of the element manually using the following tools:
or choose one of the predefined styles for the block:
To add text to a block, select it and start writing without waiting for the blinking cursor to appear.
The text inside the block can be changed like any other text in the program.
If the block diagram will be inside a text document, it is better to make it in a separate document. This way you will avoid unnecessary offsets while working on the text above the diagram.
To make it convenient to move the finished block diagram through the text without losing any part of it, you need to combine the blocks into a single element.
Select one element of the scheme and hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard. While holding down the key, click on the remaining elements of the scheme, release the Ctrl key. All blocks stand out. Then right-click on the outline of one of the block shapes, and in the menu that appears, click on the "Group" line.
Now all the elements will form a single whole. You can merge in stages, in separate blocks, combining only a few parts - this will make it easier for you to make adjustments.
If you need to alphabetize a list (for example, a bibliography), do the following:
Without changing any settings, you will get an alphabetically sorted list after clicking "OK". In both 2007 and 2010 versions of the program, the function has the same location, a dialog box.
The same applies to sorting in tables. Let's say you have a table like this.
You need to alphabetize the names. Select the last name column and click on the sort symbol.
Result:
Sorting sorted the last names alphabetically, while moving the data in the second column.
With this article, I plan to open a series of lessons on text Microsoft editor word. Previously, I often had to do tutoring, that is, teaching how to work with a computer and application programs. The level of training for people is different, so there were often cases when it was necessary to train a person from scratch, including various programs from the Microsoft Office package, which also includes Word.
And I think that it worked out for me quite successfully, judging by the reviews. At least, my clients continued to quite successfully keep in touch with me and consulted on various issues. In teaching any program, I tried, first of all, to imagine myself in the place of the user and explain it precisely taking into account all those nuances that may be incomprehensible. In the case of the Word program, you must also take into account and know what and what keys are on the keyboard for. Therefore, I will also take this point into account, and in this lesson such an aspect as learning to work with the keyboard will even be consecrated. There is no way without this, since these are the very basics that you need to know.
And I think it's normal when a person does not understand something. The reasons may be different. Some didn't have computer science at school, others had it, but they didn't explain exactly what was needed. So, for example, I had computer science at school, but we basically did what we drew in the Paint program. That is, not even in Photoshop, which in life could really come in handy. However, this topic can be discussed for a very long time.
All examples will be considered on the example of the Microsoft Office 2010 package. But everything said is also true for Office 2007 and newer packages. Because since the 2007 version, which was different compared to previous versions redesigned interface, further from the exit software products this family, the interface remained essentially the same.
Actually, after starting the Microsoft Word program, you can already start typing. What may be incomprehensible to a novice and inexperienced user who is not familiar with a computer? Here are some nuances:
To capitalize a letter, hold down the Shift key and press the letter you want to capitalize.
To switch the language from Russian to English and vice versa, the Alt + Shift key combination is usually used. What does such a designation mean? While holding down one of these 2 keys, press the other.
If you want to end a paragraph, then the Enter key is used for this. When typing, in order to move the line, you do not need to press anything on purpose. Because the transition is carried out independently.
If you want to make a red line in the text (paragraph indent), then the Tab key is used for this.
At the very top of the main program window is the main menu. There are tabs File, Home, Insert, Page Layout, Links, Mailings, Review, View, Settings. You, depending on the version of the package used, the tabs may be arranged differently. But the essence of this in any case does not change.
We are now on the Home tab.
If we want to change the typeface and font size, then we specify the appropriate values (in the figure they are highlighted in red). After that, if you suddenly want to cancel the selected style, it will be enough to press the key combination Ctrl + Space.
If, when choosing a font, you get a krakozyabra when typing, then keep in mind that this only means that there are no Russian letters in the font you have chosen.
To make the typed text bold, you need to select the button Zh, K on the toolbar - the text will be printed in italics, H - underlined.
You started typing, but then decided to return to the usual style, press Ctrl + Space. I recommend that you remember this combination in the future. It saves time, reduces unnecessary movements and generally makes life easier.
What else can be useful in the future? Well, these are primarily ways to highlight text. And it is selected either by moving the mouse over the selection area with the left mouse button pressed. Or using the Shift key and arrows. Well, or another very universal way. Holding down the Shift key, click the area where the selection begins, and then all the same, clicking the left mouse button - where the selection area should end.
Microsoft Office Word is a software tool for writing and processing text. This program very common in everyday office work. Often, employees who have to work with text require minimal Office skills. There is nothing difficult in printing a text, but certain knowledge is needed to process it and correctly format it.
Using Word you can create texts different type: abstracts, term papers, documents and more. It is possible to format the text by changing appearance, adding pictures, tables and other necessary elements.
By opening the program from the desktop or menu "Start", we will be greeted by a blank white sheet of A4 paper. The sheet format can be changed to any other standard, more on that later.
You can scroll through the pages using a special slider to the right of the A4 sheet, or with the wheel of a computer mouse.
To start typing text, using the left mouse button, position the cursor at the beginning of the intended text at the top of the page.
If you accidentally did something wrong or deleted a piece of text, you can return the action back. To do this, use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Z".
To save your work, written on a blank sheet of electronic "paper", into a full-fledged file for further use or processing, there are several options:
Microsoft Word sets the option to automatically save the document by default. You can disable this option along the way: "File" — "Options" — "Preservation". In this menu, you can select both the ability to disable autosave, and the time interval after which given function will save the modified file automatically. Very useful feature for people who forget to save their documents manually.
When working with documents that are important to you, do not turn off the automatic save function to avoid data loss. The reason for the crash of the program can be anything: accidental closing of the program, crash of the computer due to weather conditions, and so on.
The visual perception of the text is very important for the reader. Sometimes, due to incorrect design, the person reading the text loses all desire to finish reading it, no matter how interesting it would be. For a presentable appearance of the typed stream of letters and symbols, there are tools built into the program.
The more complex the design of the text looks, the less willing it will be for the users of the document to read. It is customary to use the font when choosing the appearance of the text Times New Roman 14th size. For headings, size 16 is used.
If you still decide to use a different font at your discretion, Word offers its users a ready-made list of fonts preinstalled with operating system. In the event that the amount provided is not enough for you, you can install additional fonts downloaded or purchased on the Internet.
The font has two main parameters, it is the font type and its size. In addition to them, there are also other, additional options for more original text design. To apply any of the options, you first need to select a specific fragment of the document for its processing. To do this, hold the left mouse button on the beginning of the fragment and drag to its end. To select all the document at once, press the key combination "Ctrl+A".
Additionally, you can change the font size without selecting digital parameter, but only by pressing the two buttons responsible for this. Left button increases the size of the letters by one step, and the right one, respectively, reduces it.
There are four functions for aligning content in a document with a sheet:
If everything is clear with the first three functions, then what is the essence of justification in width? Everything is extremely simple. This parameter is required when accepting documents in some organizations, because after its application, the text regularly fills the sheet on both sides. To understand this, let's see how it works with an example:
The example shows that in the second version, the text on the right side is placed more neatly, closer to the edge. This is how the format of official material should be when it comes to alignment.
Almost any editor has the ability to change the text style, and this feature, of course, did not bypass the legendary Word. There are also keyboard shortcuts for these options to quickly design materials.
The Word editor provides three main functions for changing the style. Access to them is open in the top control panel, in the same window as the font selection.
These parameters can be combined with each other. This is what the text will look like with the three style options mentioned above applied to it:
In the window that appears, look for the desired image among the files on your computer.
As you can see, doing the main work in the office Word program not difficult, the main thing is to get used to the interface and adapt to the functions to understand their purpose.
