Working in Microsoft Word. Help with working with the WindowsWord editor

The topic of today's lesson, we hope, will be of interest to the vast majority of users who have just begun to master the computer, as well as to those who are accustomed to working with offices of the 97-2003 series, but they need to switch to Office 2007 due to a change, for example, in the corporate standard At work.

Indeed, many who have seen the Microsoft Office 2007 package will agree that not only the appearance has changed, but also the logic of work in this package. Today and in several subsequent lessons we will try to figure out how to quickly switch to using programs Office package 2007 and start working with it as efficiently as possible.

For those who want to master previous versions of the office, as well as Open Office There will be a series of lessons in the future.

Since the basic operations in many text editors are quite similar, let’s look at them first, because our newsletter involves teaching people of all levels of computer skills and ages how to use a computer. So if you already know these techniques, you can safely skip this section.

And so, let's look at the basic operations available in text editors.

1. Text selection. First, let's briefly talk about the purpose of this operation. When composing any text, you should adhere to such a simple rule as the one that says: “First you need to write the entire text, and then, starting from the head of the document, edit it.” In order to change the spelling, style, size, font type, copy individual words, text fragments, text formatting elements - it should be highlighted so that the text editor understands what exactly these operations need to be performed on. There are many ways to highlight a font. in various ways. Today we will look at the most common ones.

1.1 Selecting text with the mouse. This method is the most common, and sometimes even the most effective. The principle of this selection is as follows: you need to move the mouse cursor to the beginning of the word/fragment of text that you want to select, press the left mouse button and, while holding it, move the cursor to the end of the word/fragment of text that you want to select to perform any actions .

(The figure shows what highlighting the phrase “basic operations” would look like in Microsoft environment Word 2007. In other text editors it may differ in color, but its essence and purpose do not change)

I would like to immediately note that this method text selection works not only in text editors, but also in Internet browsers, and in mail clients, and in many other programs that display text on the screen as a series of letters in a font, rather than as an image (for example, text appears as an image if you scan a page with text - without special program You will not be able to edit this text).

1.2 Selecting text using the arrow keys on the keyboard and the Shift key. This method is especially convenient if you need to highlight several letters from a word, or one specific formatting element. First (you can use the mouse) you need to place the cursor (click the left mouse button or move the blinking text editor cursor with the arrows on the keyboard) to the place in the text from which you will begin selecting the text, then you need to click Shift key and, without releasing it, move the cursor with the arrows to the end of the word/text that you need to highlight.

2. We have figured out how the text is highlighted, now we will consider in order why we need this, namely with basic operations that can be performed with selected text.

2.1 Copy, paste and move text. To copy text to the clipboard (see) and then paste it in another place/another program, you must run the following actions: select the text with which you want to perform the operation, then click on it right click mouse and in the context menu that opens, select the “Copy” item, then move the blinking text editor cursor to the place where you want to copy this text, right-click on it and select “Paste”. If you need to transfer a piece of text, then instead of the “Copy” item, you must use the “Cut” item from the context menu that opens.

2.2 Changing font size, type and spelling. The vast majority of buttons similar to those in the above figure (fragment from MS Word 2007) exist text editors. Some buttons may be missing, but their functionality can be accessed through the Format>Font menu in most text editors (this menu is not available in programs Microsoft package Office 2007 as a view). As can be seen from the figure, using these buttons and pop-up lists we can perform the following actions with text (from left to right and top to bottom):

2.2.1 change the font;
2.2.2 change the font size;
2.2.3 increase the font size by one point;
2.2.4 reduce the font size by one point;
2.2.5 clear text formatting;
2.2.6 make the font bold;
2.2.7 make the text italic;
2.2.8 make the font underlined;
2.2.9 make the font strikethrough;
2.2.10 place the text in uppercase;
2.2.11 place the text in lower case;
2.2.12 change the case of the text according to a certain pattern (for example, each sentence will strictly begin with capital letter, or all letters are converted to capital letters);
2.2.13 change the font highlight color (default is white);
2.2.14 change the font color (default is black).

2.3 Formatting paragraphs of text. In the figure at the end of the paragraph you can see the main options for formatting paragraphs. Let me remind you that we perform any actions with the text after we select it. Now I give a description of the toolbar buttons in order. They are also very similar in many text editors. Again from left to right and top to bottom:

2.3.1 markers (creation bulleted list);
2.3.2 numbering (creating a numbered list);
2.3.3 multi-level list (creating multi-level list, simplest example which you see in this article);
2.3.4 reduce the left indent (reducing the paragraph indent from the left margin of the page);
2.3.5 increase the left indent (increasing the paragraph indent from the left margin of the page);
2.3.6 sorting (sorting selected text or numeric data);
2.3.7 display of hidden formatting characters (tab characters, end of paragraph, soft hyphen, page or column breaks and other special characters that are not displayed when printing text on a printer - for this they are also called “non-printing characters”);
2.3.8 text alignment to the left;
2.3.9 text alignment in the middle;
2.3.10 align text to the right;
2.3.11 aligning text to the width of the page;
2.3.12 line spacing;
2.3.13 changing the background of the selected text or paragraph;
2.3.14 designation of text/table cell boundaries.

3. Creating tables. Despite the fact that the main specialization of text editors is working with text, the creation is not very complex tables and not really complex actions included in the functionality of many professional editors. However, the process of creating tables in them is very similar, therefore, in order not to repeat it, it will be discussed using the example of the MS Word 2007 editor with explanations for users of previous versions of the MS Office software package.

Getting to know the tabs and toolbars of MS Word 2007

Yes, yes, exactly with tabs and toolbars, because... There are no familiar menus left in MS Office 2007, but they have been replaced by “intuitive” tabs. We intentionally indicated this phrase in quotation marks, because In fact, it turns out that everything is not so intuitive. Now let's talk about everything in order.

1. Home tab.

This tab is somewhat like a hybrid of the Standard and Formatting toolbars. According to the new logic, here are collected the most necessary tools for carrying out standard operations with text. Here we see a block responsible for working with the clipboard, a block responsible for working with the display of fonts and their style, a block regulating the formatting of paragraphs (and table elements), a whole healthy “Styles” block, which actually contains templates styles for headings, subheadings, quotes, and some plain text formatting. Styles can be changed and you can create your own. Well, and the “Editing” block, which includes basic operations for automatic search and replacing words and text fragments, as well as tools that allow you to use non-standard types of highlighting text and non-text elements.

2. Insert tab.

The sets of tools that are on this tab combine such a great mission as inserting and implementing various text and non-text elements into a document.
Namely, in the “Pages” block we can insert a template of a ready-made title page of our document (if our document, for example, is some kind of report or research), it is possible to insert blank page into the document (with breaks before and after), as well as page breaks directly (in the vast majority of cases, page breaks are forced termination current page with transition to the next one).
The "Tables" block allows us to insert a table (and only insert it, since to edit it we will use the "Working with Tables" section that appears after inserting the table and the accompanying "Design" and "Layout" tabs - you cannot see this section until until you insert a table into the document).
The “Illustrations” block allows you to insert a picture from a file, a clip from the Clip Art collection, which is built into the MS Office package, as well as use Microsoft’s online resources. You can also draw different geometric figures, insert various diagrams. The "Links" block allows you to insert links into your document, both to other documents and to certain positions in the current document.
The "Header and Footer" block allows you to insert a header and footer(text that will be visible on all pages of the document), as well as automatically enter document page numbers.
The "Text" block allows you to place various text elements, such as inscriptions, express blocks, signature lines, date and time, and many other elements that are not used in Everyday life, but occasionally may be required to compose a beautiful and original document.
The symbols block includes an equation editor and a symbol table (extended keyboard layout, Greek letters and many other symbols not used when writing words). In other words, if you need to insert something into the text, then you should go to the Insert tab. This is logic that, if you understand, working with Office 2007 will become very convenient. At the end of this lesson, the main points will be given in If-Then format.

3. Page Layout tab.

IN previous versions MS Office, and even their worst competitor today, was used File menu>Page Options. Now this important process We dedicated an entire tab with a set of different blocks with toolbars. Here you can set document design templates, determine the size of the fields, page orientation, sheet size (A4 by default), the presence and number of columns, hyphenation and much more. Also, smart heads from Microsoft have included the ability to control the position of pictures and other non-text objects relative to the text.

Allows you to insert various footnotes, create a table of contents for the document, lists of illustrations used, and includes tools for working with cross-references and lists of references. This tab is most often required when writing various scientific works, as well as diploma and coursework by students of various educational institutions.

Allows you to send various materials to partners. Supports the creation of universal fields, which will automatically add, for example, the names of your partners in the greeting. Naturally, you must first create this database in the application Microsoft Outlook(preferred), or in Microsoft Outlook Express.

6. Review Tab.

This tab includes a spell checker, a thesaurus, and the possibility of translations (for some reason only from English to German and vice versa). For those who have used previous MS Office packages, it will be easier to understand if we write that the entire Tools menu in terms of spelling and corrections has been moved to this tab. For those who have not used it, we will explain later what it is and why.

7. View Tab

Analogous to the View menu in previous versions of Office. Here you can select the document viewing mode, determine the display of elements such as Ruler, Grid, Document Outline and Thumbnails. Also the page display scale and the order of window placement. It is also possible to control the work with macros, but this is already a high-level pilotage, to which, perhaps, in the future we will devote a separate newsletter, because This is already included in the category of programming and is beyond the scope of this course.

And now the promised summary of the tabs and short description logic.

If you need to perform basic text formatting (enlarge it, reduce it, make it bold, underlined, strikethrough, italic, etc.), as well as set the alignment and color scheme text (did you notice how many times the word “text” is written in this paragraph?), then you need the Home tab - the editor is a text editor, after all? Means HOME its task is text, hence the tab HOME !

If you need to insert a picture, diagram, clip, page break, blank page link, header, footer, page numbers into a document, well, in general, if you need anything at all INSERT into the document, then, accordingly, you need to go to the tab INSERT .

If you need to change margins, change sheet size, orientation, determine indents, as well as the position of pictures on the page, and in general, if you need to change something regarding PAGES, then you need to go to the tab PAGE LAYOUT .

Now for another example, you open a book, what do you see? Table of contents with links to page numbers. It may sound a little clumsy, however, this formulation will allow you to quickly understand this logic! Table of contents, footnotes, cross-references, list of used literature (links to literature) - these are all links. Which tab are we going to? Right! LINKS !!!

And now I’ll ask you a question: after what does any book, any scientific project come to life? After REVIEWS. What does it include? Literacy of wording, text, etc., etc., located in the tab REVIEW .

What is the name of what we see on the screen? A lot of different versions maybe, however, in in this case we'll call this VIEW . VIEW We VIEW them. Therefore, to change something about this VIEW That is, whether it is the page display scale, viewing mode, or display of some visual tools, such as a ruler or grid - your tab is called VIEW .

This is the logic. Guided by it, you can very easily navigate your new office.

That's all for today, expect the next parts to be released soon! Good luck in mastering the computer!!!

The computer has many of the most different files a variety of formats. We use some files from these formats often, while we work with others extremely rarely or never at all. But there are also those in the computer that you simply need to know and be able to use. And one of them is doc files. These are the most various documents, with which all users who decide to master a computer begin their work. Of course, if you use your computer only for games and communicating on the Internet, then you can easily do without Word. But in this case, you can hardly be called a confident user. After all, a confident user is one who knows how to perform basic operations on a computer (create a folder, copy, delete) and work with popular programs, including Word and Excel. In this review I will tell you exactly how to use free program WindowsWord for viewing and editing Doc files.

Open the program. We need to open a new text document. To do this, click on the file, as shown in the picture

then click open button as shown below

We get this usual file as a result:

Saving the file is also very easy. You need to press the button with the floppy disk and the file will be saved

Now let's look at the document search function. After all, if a document is more than a dozen pages long, a search is often required. To do this on top panel tools, find the edit tab and search in it, as shown in the figure or just a combination Ctrl keys+F

There you can enter the words you are looking for.

But let's not forget that we are editing the text. Therefore, it is very important for us to work with the font. The WindowsWord program has a special Font window, which can be opened by clicking on the button in the top Font toolbar. Here you can easily change the font, font size, writing style (bold, bold, italic, strikethrough), as well as the font color and font background color. This is what the window looks like

Now let's look at working with tables. Everything is very simple here, to create a table, click on the table tab, create a table as shown below

In the window that opens, select the number of rows and columns, as well as the table scale

If you right-click on a table field, in the menu that opens you can choose: cut, copy, paste, change font, paragraph, list parameters, you can add a row above or below, and also add a column to the left or right, split a cell and view the properties of the entire tables

You can also easily change the document size from A4 to A5, A6, or even set your own page size. The size button is at the bottom of the toolbar

With this I will finish my review of the main functions of the new free editor WindowsWord. As a result, I can say that it is very easy to use, easier than Microsoft Office in my opinion. And it’s more suitable for beginners, because... There are not a huge number of buttons that are so easy for a beginner to get confused about. Great for general editing. Main advantages: ease of use and freeness of this text editor.

Just recently released new program, which performs all office functions, but does not require additional activation and is quite easy to use in practice. We will talk about the basics of working with it below.

First steps

Below are icons for the most frequently used functions that are used when working with text documents. They are organically sorted into sections, which makes it easy for even an inexperienced user to navigate.

We will not list them all, since there are quite a lot of them, but we will deal with the main tasks.

Microsoft Office Word is software tool for writing and processing text. This program very common in everyday life 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 to process it and correct design certain knowledge is required.

Microsoft Word Basics

You can create texts using Word different types: abstracts, term papers, documents and more. It is possible to customize the text by changing 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 met by a clean one White list A4 size 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 preserve your works written in clean slate electronic “paper”, into a full-fledged file for him further use or processing, there are several options:

Microsoft Word sets the option by default automatic saving 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 modified 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, crash computer operation due to weather conditions And so on.

Working with 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 ready list from fonts pre-installed with 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. Besides these, there are also others Extra options for more original design text. 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 a type, just click on its name on the panel and select from the list new font. 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.

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 mandatory 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 with right side 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
