1. Basic Editing
Word provides options to change a document´s
onscreen appearance by viewing the document in
Full Screen, Web Layout, Outline, and Draft views
(adding rulers, vertical rules, or gridlines; increasing or
decreasing the document´s page size; arranging the
document windows; viewing the document side by
side; or splitting the document.)
The Navigation Pane provides options for browsing
and conducting a search in a document.
Opening an existing document.
You can open files in one of three forms: as an
original document, as a copy of a document, or as
a read-only document.
You can use commands in the Open dialog box to
open existing documents from target locations such
as a USB flash drive, hard drive, network location,
desktop, CD, DVD, or portable device.
2. Changing document views.
The View Tab on the Ribbon has groups of commands for Document
Views, Show, Zoom, Window, and Marcos.
Word has five Document View options:
Print Layout: Is the default view. It displays the document as it will
look when printed and enables you to see the Ribbon to create and
edit your document.
Full Screen Reading: View is made for reading documents
onscreen. Options are available for customizing this view.
Web Layout: View shows how the document would look as a Web
page.
Outline: View displays the document as an outline and offers an
outline tab with commands for creating and editing outlines.
Draft: View is strictly for editing text. Advanced elements such as
charts, graphs, pictures, and other objects are hidden in this view .
Shows Commands.
The Show command group offers options for displaying various onscreen
features that can help you create, edit, and navigate your document.
Rulers are measuring tools to align text, graphics, and other elements used
within a document.
Gridlines provide a grid of vertical and horizontal lines that help you align
graphics and other objects in your documents.
Navigation Pane has three tabs. The first tab, Browse Headings in your
document, displays the structure of your document by levels based on the
document´s headings. The second tab, Browse Pages in your document,
displays thumnails-tiny images of your document pages. The third tab,
Browse the results from the current search, displays a list of search results
when you have used the Navigation Pane´s search tool ( marked by a
search box and magnifying glass icon) to look for particular text or objects
in your document.
3. Zoom
The Zoom group of commands lets you zoom in to get a closer
view of a page or zoom out to see more of the document at a
smaller size.
