No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. Any additional feedback? Submit feedback. Next to the menu list we have Recent Documents list.
The documents that you have been working with overtime would be displayed under this section. Just click on this pin and it turns green to indicate that the document is now pinned to the Recent Documents List.
Options like Save As, Print and others have a small arrow next to them which indicates that there are sub-options for these. When you hover over your mouse on these options, their sub-options will be displayed in the area where previously recent documents were displayed. On the lower right hand corner there are two buttons:- Word Options : In earlier versions of Microsoft Office, you set your preferences for view, display, save, proofing and editing settings in the Options dialog box under Tools menu.
Exit Word : Exit Word will allow you to close your documents and totally exit from Word. Ribbon When you launched Microsoft Word for the first time, you must have noticed a totally different composition in the place of Menus and Toolbars, because the menus and toolbars have been replaced by a context sensitive ribbon.
This is the major change in Word The ribbon spreads across the screen from left to right and contains all the commands and the difference here is; it is context sensitive. This means that it is going to change as you work with your documents in Word. For example, if you are working with a table, the ribbon displays the various table commands and tools. If you are working with pictures, the ribbon displays various options available for pictures.
These tabs are organized according to the category of commands. All these groups are related to Page Layout. So these are easy to locate. Like we had mentioned earlier, the ribbon changes as you work on your document.
So the Home tab is selected we would find a different set of groups like Clipboard group, Font group, Paragraph group, and so on.
Each of this group in the tab has some buttons that represent some commands that you may want to use in that group. As you hover over them we get a small description of what these commands would do. What if you are not able to find a command that you are looking for? That is because there are only a few commands that are always visible in the group at a glance.
You can notice that some of these groups have a diagonal arrow icon at the bottom right hand corner. This little arrow launches a dialog box, so we can call it a dialog box launcher. The dialog box will have another set of options which you can set. This will be similar to the dialog boxes we used in the previous versions of Word. The dialog has its own help button and a close button in the top right hand corner apart from the usual OK and Cancel buttons.
The older version menu bar is replaced by the new ribbon which contains tabs similar to the menu. We all are always used to seeing the last menu as Help. But if you have observed carefully, there is no such help menu in the new interface, not even a tab or any option on any of the tabs.
Help can be launched by clicking on the question mark icon provided on the rightmost corner of the Ribbon. As you hover your mouse over this icon, screen tip says Microsoft Office Word Help F1 , indicating the keyboard shortcut for help. So you can launch help alternatively by F1. As you can make out, the Home page for Help is a little different too. It displays the categories on which you can search for a specific topic. For example if you click on Tables category, you would traverse to another page that displays the topics in this category like, Insert a blank line before a table, Delete a table or clear its contents and so on.
Then you can select the specific topic of help. Shortcuts You all must be aware of the shortcut F1 to launch Help, but each and every item on the ribbon has its own shortcut. If you press the ALT key on the keyboard brings up all the numbers and letters on the ribbon.
Then you can press the shortcut like H to expand the Home tab and then you can see that each of the commands on t he ribbon have their own shortcuts. Search for:. Post Views: 2, I have an MS M.
