A detailed guide to using Microsoft Word. Typing text in the Word text editor

Many users who have to write a lot do not know how to use Microsoft Word 2010, and do not even pay attention to it. Meanwhile, this is the most wonderful program for doing this kind of work.

What's good about it? First of all, this is a spell check. But that's not all. This program is practically the only one in which you can see that punctuation marks are placed incorrectly.

Those who know how to use it can also quickly format text (change font type, color, size, insert a hyperlink, select a background, align text, and much more). However.

Also, we must not forget that Microsoft Word 2010 has a very well developed system for replacing words with synonyms, only the dictionary installed in it is not the largest, but the benefits from it are enormous. So, let's get started with the instructions.

How to use Microsoft Word 2010

Learning to use Microsoft Word 2010 professionally will take time, so I will only focus on the main points, which are enough to write high-quality texts.

First, we'll learn how to insert text. To do this, copy it to the clipboard and click on the icon as shown in the figure:

As soon as you insert the text, and Microsoft Word 2010 detects an error in the word, it will immediately be underlined with a red wavy line.
If the sentence is underlined with a green line, then the punctuation marks are placed incorrectly (in 2013, 2016 the color is different).

If you click on a word (underlined in red), you will be given a choice of others. With punctuation marks it’s a little different, you’ll have to pick them up by trial and error.

I’ll note right away that Microsoft Office 2010 will not correct the error 100 percent, there is no such smart program yet.

Microsoft Word 2010 instructions (synonyms)

Using Microsoft Word 2010 to replace synonyms is simple and convenient. If you need to replace a word, just right-click on it, find synonyms in the window that opens, move the cursor there, select the most suitable one and click on it.

This article covers only a few basic points. If you need to study Word in more detail, then you can use the link ahead for free.

If you need to change the font, text size or formatting (left, right, middle), see as shown in the picture.

Click on these options to select the options you want. This instruction is of course very small, but I think it will help beginners on how to use Microsoft Word 2010.

In conclusion, I would just like to say that I have never seen a better program for writing text than Microsoft Word 2010.

Those who disagree, please speak out in the comments, I think many will be grateful, not just me.

It is not necessary to know and use all the features of the Microsoft text editor. You can successfully complete work tasks by occasionally switching between the Home and Insert tabs. But you will work even more efficiently if you equip yourself with even a few tricks from this review.

Here is a simple example familiar to webmasters. Some specialists copy the content into Notepad before transferring text from a Word document to a CMS editor. This clears the text of Word formatting that may conflict with the engine's template formats. So, you don't need Notepad. To solve the problem, just select the text in Word and click the “Remove All Formatting” button.

Please note that the review was written for the 2013 version of Word. The current stable version of the program is MS Word 2016, released in September 2015. However, this version of the program has not yet become the main one.

How to create and save a MS Word document

To create a document, open your working folder. Right-click and select the "New - Microsoft Word Document" option.

To easily find a document, name it.

You can also launch MS Word from the Start menu. Pay attention to the illustration.

When launched through the start menu, you created a new document with a default name. Give it a name and save it in a folder of your choice so you don’t lose it. To do this, click on the “Save” icon or use the key combination Shift+F12.

Name the document and save it to the selected folder.

You have created and saved the document. Get to work.

How to use the Home tab features

Tools in the MS Word control panel are combined using thematic tabs. This type of interface is called a ribbon. By default, the main toolbox opens, highlighted in the Home tab.

Below are the tasks that you can perform using the tools on the Home tab.

Tool block "Clipboard"

You can copy, cut and paste content. To use the Cut and Copy options, select the desired piece of text.

Please note the insertion options. You can keep the original formatting, merge the formats, or save the text without formatting. You can also use special insert modes.

Why do you need a special insert? For example, imagine that you need to work with text copied from another document or website. The original formatting may not match the formatting in your document.

This problem is solved using a special insert. Use the appropriate menu. In the window that opens, select the “Unformatted Text” option.

Now it will be more convenient for you to format the copied content.

Using the Clipboard menu, you can select previously copied content and paste it into a document. To open the clipboard, click on the arrow marked in the illustration. Select the desired item. Using the drop-down menu, select the "Insert" option. You can also delete the copied element from the clipboard.

You can customize the default paste options. To do this, use the “Insert – Default Insert” menu.

Specify the appropriate settings and save the changes. Pay attention to the options for pasting into another document. Most users can replace the default "Keep original formatting" with "Keep text only".

Font toolbox

To change the default font, use the drop-down menu marked in the illustration. Please note that in order to change existing text, the fragment must be selected before selecting the font.

Using the corresponding menu you can select the appropriate font size. Pay attention to the ability to increase or decrease the font of the selected fragment. Mark the text and use the buttons marked in the illustration.

You can select the appropriate register using the corresponding menu. Select the desired piece of text, use the button marked in the illustration and select the desired option.

To cross out a piece of text, select it and use the corresponding button.

Using the X 2 and X 2 buttons you can add subscript and superscript text.

Editing tool block

Using the Find menu, you can quickly search for content that interests you. Note the drop-down menu access to advanced search settings.

Click the Replace All button. After processing the request, the program will report the number of replacements performed.

Use the Highlight feature to quickly highlight content. For example, you can select all text, select arbitrary objects, or select fragments with the same formatting in two clicks.

With this article I plan to open a series of lessons on the Microsoft Word text editor. Previously, I often had to do tutoring, that is, learning how to use a computer and application programs. People have different levels of training, 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 I did it quite successfully, judging by the reviews. At least, my clients continued to quite successfully keep in touch with me and consulted me on various issues. When teaching any program, I tried first of all to imagine myself in the user’s place and explain it 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 keys are on the keyboard for and what they are for. Therefore, I will also take this point into account, and this lesson will even cover such an aspect as training in working with the keyboard. 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 doesn’t understand something. The reasons may be different. Some didn’t have computer science at school, others did, but they didn’t explain exactly what was needed. So, for example, I studied computer science at school, but we mostly did what we drew in the Paint program. That is, not even in Photoshop, which could really be useful in life. However, this topic can be discussed for a very long time.

All examples will be considered using the Microsoft Office 2010 package as an example. But everything said is also true for Office 2007 and newer packages. Since version 2007, which differed from previous versions by a redesigned interface, subsequently from the release of software products of this family, the interface remained essentially the same.

Beginning of work.

Actually, after launching Microsoft Word, you can already start typing text. What might be incomprehensible to a novice and inexperienced user who is new to computers? Here are some nuances:

To make a letter capitalize, you need to hold down the Shift key and press the letter you want to make capital.

To switch the language from Russian to English and vice versa, the key combination Alt + Shift is usually used. What does this designation mean? While holding down one of these 2 keys, press the other.

If you want to end a paragraph, use the Enter key to do this. When typing text, you don’t need to press anything specifically to move a line. Because the transition is carried out independently.

If you need to make a red line in the text (paragraph indent), then use the Tab key 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. Depending on the version of the package you are using, your tabs may be arranged differently. But the essence does not change in any case.

We are now on the Home tab.

If we want to change the font typeface and font size, then we indicate the corresponding values ​​(in the figure they are highlighted with a red frame). After this, if you suddenly want to cancel the selected style, you just need to press the Ctrl + Space key combination.

If, when choosing a font, you get a crappy text while typing, keep in mind that this only means that the font you have chosen does not contain Russian letters.

To make the typed text bold, you need to select the Zh, K button on the toolbar - the text will be printed in italics, H - underlined.

You started typing text, but then decided to return to the normal style, press Ctrl + Space. I recommend that you remember this combination in the future. Saves time, reduces unnecessary movements and generally makes life easier.

What else might be useful in the future? Well, these are first ways to select 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 arrow keys. Well, or another very universal way. Hold down the Shift key and click the area where the selection begins, and then do the same by left-clicking where the selection area should end.

Microsoft Office Word is a software tool for writing and processing text. This program is very common in everyday office work. Often, employees who have to work with text are required to have minimal Office skills. There is nothing complicated in printing text, but certain knowledge is required to process it and correctly format it.

Microsoft Word Basics

Using Word, you can create texts of various types: essays, term papers, documents, etc. It is possible to design the text by changing the appearance, adding pictures, tables and other necessary elements.

Typing text into a document

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 a little later.

You can scroll through pages using a special slider to the right of the A4 sheet, or with the wheel of a computer mouse.

To start printing 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 key combination "Ctrl+Z".

Saving the finished document

To save your works written on a blank sheet of electronic “paper” into a full-fledged file for further use or processing, there are several options:

By default, Microsoft Word sets the option to automatically save your document. You can disable this option using the following path: "File" — "Options" — "Preservation". In this menu, you can select both the ability to disable autosave and the time interval after which this function will save the changed file automatically. A very useful feature for people who forget to save their documents manually.

When working with documents that are important to you, do not disable the automatic saving function to avoid data loss. The cause of a program crash can be anything: accidental closing of the program, computer crash due to weather conditions, etc.

Working with the font

Visual perception of the text is very important for the reader. Sometimes, due to incorrect formatting, the person reading the text loses any desire to finish reading it, no matter how interesting it may be. To make the typed stream of letters and symbols look presentable, there are tools built into the program.

The more complex the text design looks, the less desire users of the document will have to read it. It is customary to use a font when choosing the appearance of text "Times New Roman" Size 14. Size 16 is used for headings.

If you still decide to use a different font at your discretion, Word offers its users a ready-made list of fonts pre-installed with the operating system. If the amount provided to you is not enough, you can install additional fonts downloaded or purchased on the Internet.

A font has two main parameters: the font type and its size. In addition to them, there are also other, additional parameters for a more original text design. To apply any of the parameters, you first need to select a specific fragment of the document for processing. To do this, left-click on the beginning of the fragment and drag to its end. To select all documents at once, press the key combination "Ctrl + A".

1. 1. To change the type, just click on its name in the panel and select a new font from the list. When you hover over the option you want, you'll be able to preview what the text will look like before making your final selection. You can scroll through the list using the mouse wheel or by clicking the slider that appears on the right in the open window.

1. 1. To change the font size, click on the number to the right of the font name and in the same way you can select the size of letters and symbols.

Additionally, you can change the font size without selecting a digital parameter, but only by clicking on the two buttons responsible for this. The left button increases the size of the letters by one step, and the right one, accordingly, decreases it.

Aligning document content

There are four functions for aligning content in a document to a sheet:

• Align Left (keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + L");
• Center alignment (keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+E");
• Align right (keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + R");
• Justify (keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+E").

If everything is clear with the first three functions, then what is the essence of width alignment? Everything is extremely simple. This parameter is required when accepting documents in some organizations, since after its use the text regularly fills the sheet on both sides. To understand this, let's look at its action using an example:

1. 1. Left alignment:

1. 1. Width alignment:

The example shows that in the second version the text on the right side is placed more neatly, closer to the edge. This is exactly what the format of official material should be when it comes to alignment.

Changing the text style

Almost any editor has the ability to change the text style, and this function, of course, did not bypass the legendary Word. These options also have keyboard shortcuts for quickly designing materials.

The Word editor provides three main functions for changing the style. Access to them is available in the top control panel, in the same window as the font selection.

• • Bold (keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+B");

• • Italic (key combination "Ctrl + I");

• • Underlined (key combination "Ctrl + U").

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:

Insert an image into a Word document

1. 1. To insert an element into a document, you must first open the submenu "Insert" in the top panel of the program.

1. 1. The Word gallery already has a certain set of images for inserting into a document. To view these files, click the button "Picture".

In the window that appears, look for the desired image among the files on your computer.

As you can see, doing basic work in the Word office program is not difficult, the main thing is to get used to the interface and get used to the functions to understand their purpose.
