Editor's Notes
[ Note to trainer: For detailed help in customizing this template, see the last slide. Look for additional lesson text in the notes pane of some slides.]
Each lesson includes a list of suggested tasks and a set of test questions.
Word has many great features that aren't always used to their full potential. Find out more about some of these old favorites, and learn about new features, like reading layout view for easy on-screen reading, and the side-by-side feature for comparing related documents.
Reading layout view is especially designed to make reading on the screen easier and more pleasant. Just imagine all the time you'll save if you don't have to wait for the printer—to say nothing of all the wasted paper.
Reading layout view creates an easy on–screen reading experience. Without changing the document itself, it alters the layout of the page and Improves font display to make text easier to read. It's also great for reading on a Tablet PC, where the screen size is limited.
If you're using an inking device , such as a Tablet PC, you can easily make ink annotations in the margin.
[ Note to trainer : Steps—given in either numbered or bulleted lists—are always shown in yellow text.]
The Reviewing toolbar, used for tracking changes, is also open by default in reading layout view.
This is a default setting, which you can switch off if you want. (On the Tools menu, click Options , and then clear the Allow starting in Reading Layout check box on the General tab.) You can always turn reading layout view back on for individual documents by clicking the Read button or clicking the Reading Layout command.
Note: If you edit a document from a SharePoint site, it will open in the view it was saved in, not in reading layout view.
[ Note to trainer: With Word 2003 installed on your computer, you can click the link in the slide to go to an online practice session. In the practice session, you can work through each of these tasks in Word, with instructions to guide you. Important: If you don’t have Word 2003, you won’t be able to access the practice instructions.]
Inserting symbols and characters is easy. In this lesson, you’ll find out how.
[ Note to trainer : Steps—given in either numbered or bulleted lists—are always shown in yellow text.]
Note: In an English–based system, you can't insert some characters, for example, Thai or Arabic, without setting up additional language support in Microsoft ® Office. See Word Help for details on how to do this.
The disadvantage is that it can be difficult to remember the exact key combination. For more about custom shortcuts, see the course “Customize keyboard shortcuts in Word.”
For example, type "\\alpha" for a Greek lowercase alpha symbol (α). A text-processing program popular in the math, science, and engineering fields uses this method of character insertion.

If only one document is open, the Compare Side by Side command is not available.
Synchronous scrolling button: By default, this button is on. As you scroll in one document, the other scrolls at the same pace. Click the button to turn synchronous scrolling off and on. For example, you can switch it off, scroll one window, and then switch it back on again. Reset Window Position button: This resets the documents to their default position and size. If you click the Reset Window Position button with the right window active, it resets that active document to the left. Close Side by Side button: This closes the toolbar and switches off the side-by-side view. You can also switch off the side-by-side view by closing one of the documents.

The horizontal ruler is the bar across the top of your Word document with measurements marked on it. [Note to trainer: To play the animation when viewing the slide show, right-click the animation, then click Play . If you have problems viewing the animation, see the notes for the end slide in this presentation about playing a Macromedia Flash® animation. If you still have problems viewing the animation, slide 51 is a duplicate of this one, with static art. Delete either this slide or slide 51 before using this presentation.]
The horizontal ruler is the bar across the top of your Word document with measurements marked on it. [Note to trainer: This slide is identical to slide 50 except that it has static art instead of an animation. Use this slide if you have problems viewing the animation. Delete either this slide or slide 50 before using this presentation.]
For example, a standard letter's ruler is 8.5 inches; an A4 letter's ruler is 21 cm, or 8.27 inches.
You can always move margins in the document by sliding them along the ruler. Note: You can change the measurement scale of your ruler from inches to metric on the General tab of the Options dialog box ( Tools menu).
You can move indents into the margins of a document.
If you want your tab stops at precise positions that you can't get by clicking the ruler, you can use the Tabs dialog box (accessed from the Format menu).

If you want to include footnotes and endnotes in your count, select the Include footnotes and endnotes check box. Note: If your document has revisions in it, the count will keep track of all the revisions and include them in the totals.
If you want to see the total of a different element, use the drop-down list again.
