INTRODUCTION

TEACH YOURSELF VIA VISUAL LEARNING
Visual learning is a teaching and learning style in which images, pictures or colours are used to gain
information for studying. Visual learning forms part of the three basic learning styles which includes the
Kinesthetic (learning that takes place via physical activity as opposed to listening or watching) and
Auditory (learning that takes place via listening) learning styles. Generally, visual learners also have a
good sense of spatial awareness (sense of direction) and often like to draw and scribe.
At LEARN NEW SKILLS FROM HOME, we strive to help self-study learners achieve their goals by
providing affordable learning materials without compromising on quality. All our study materials are
designed for the VISUAL LEARNER and use easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, illustrated
throughout via screen shots. This easy-to-use visual guide covers advanced features in popular Microsoft
Office 2016 applications and incorporates FOUR UNITS IN ONE book, Word, Excel, Access and
PowerPoint. Additional learning support supplied includes examination checks, shortcut tips, test
structures and underpinning knowledge. Learners will also have FREE access to our online Members’
Area (12 months access), which has additional question and answer snippets, job search facilities,
qualification updates and a learner’s forum.
The Advanced (level 3) units covered within this guide incorporate the globally recognised v.2.0
syllabuses for the “European Computer Driving Licence” (ECDL) and “International Computer
Driving Licence” (ICDL) qualifications.

QUALIFICATION OVERVIEW
The ECDL Foundation offers globally recognised ICT (Information Communication Technology)
certifications, which many leading corporations/governments (IBM, IKEA, Ministry of Defence, Post
Office, Bank of England, Shell and Pfizer) have adopted as their prerequisite ICT benchmark for
employees. The quality and reputation of the Foundation has been built on over a decade of
experience in successfully delivering ICT certification to over 9 million people, in 41 languages,
covering 148 countries around the world. The ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence)
qualification was established in 1997 and due to its success, the ICDL (International Computer
Driving Licence) was established shortly after in 1999 for the international market outside Europe.
Both the ECDL and ICDL certifications are global recognised qualifications and have the same
syllabus and test structures, the only difference being the ECDL is designated for European (ECDL)
countries the ICDL for regions outside Europe. Further information including qualification news and
updates can be found on the ECDL Foundation website - www.ecdl.org
ECDL (ICDL) ADVANCED MODULES
ECDL Advanced (Word-Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases and Presentations) units/modules are
set as level 3 (A-Level) qualifications in the UK by QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework).
Advanced units/modules are designed for learners who have intermediate/advanced skills in ICT
and wish to gain a worldwide recognised certification.
ECDL (ICDL) EXPERT
Learners who successfully pass four ECDL Advanced units/modules can claim the “ECDL (ICDL)
Expert” certification at no extra cost. Further information can be found on the ECDL Expert website
- www.ecdlexpert.co.uk

TESTING CENTRES
ECDL (ICDL) Advanced examinations incur no registration fees but examinations cost approximately
£70 per exam (prices may vary). Candidate identification is required usually in the form of a utility
bill and passport or driving licence. Learners are advised to book their desired examination date
10-14 days prior. In September 2012, manual tests for ECDL Advanced units/modules were
replaced with industry standard e-assessments. E-assessments offer many advantages over manual
tests, including instant results and a breakdown of a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses.
There are literary 1000's of ECDL Advanced and ICDL Advanced test centres around the UK and
10,000’s globally. Please visit the BCS website to find your nearest test centre -
http://apps.bcs.org/fac/
SAMPLE TESTS
Additional ECDL Advanced and ICDL Advanced sample tests are available for FREE via the ECDL
website:
BRITISH COMPUTER SOCIETY ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
(AMBCS)
Learners who gain all four ECDL Advanced certifications can apply for “British Computer Society
Associate Membership (AMBCS)”. Associate Membership is aimed at those who are at the start of
their career in IT and taking their first step on the ladder to full Professional membership. Once
approved, learners can use the letters AMBCS after their name on CV / resumes and business cards,
enhancing their job/career prospects. For further information, please visit -www.bcs.org
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
This guide covers Advanced (level 3) features using popular Microsoft Office 2016 applications. As
this guide is set at level 3 (A-Level) it is aimed at learners who have some prior knowledge of the
application/s they wish to study. Learners can use this guide to complete individual or several
(Word-Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases or PowerPoint) units/modules. Learners who wish to
complete all four units/modules can study them in any order enabling them to concentrate on areas
of most importance first.
http://www.ecdl.org

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
ECDL and ICDL Units are non vendor-specific, which means examinations can be taken using a
variety of software (Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office, OpenOffice etc…) packages. For the purposes of
this training guide, we have selected the “Microsoft Office 2016 Suite”. The Office 2016 suite of
applications is predominately used within most companies globally and therefore enables learners
to maximize their prospects in finding employment and enhancing their careers. Additionally Office
2016 applications can be used virtually via the Office 365 service and are designed to be integrated
into Windows 8, utilising touch screen technology. To complete the unit/modules within this guide,
learners will need access to a PC (Windows 7 or higher operating system) and Microsoft Office 2016.
Free 60-day trials of Microsoft Office 2016 can be downloaded via the Microsoft website at:
OFFICE 365
Office 365 is a Web-based platform that pairs the Office applications with cloud storage. Users can
install Microsoft Office 365 on up to five machines running Windows 7 or higher. Free 60-day trials
of Office 365 can be found via the Microsoft website at:
UPDATES
To reflect any syllabus, exam and guide updates we have supplied an updates page, where learners
can access and download any recent changes:
MARKING SCHEMES
Once learners have completed their chosen application (Word, Excel, Access or PowerPoint)
unit/module test, they will need to printout the relevant marking scheme which is located in the
“Marking Scheme” folder (located in the downloaded files). Learners can cross-reference their
answers with the previously studied material within the guide. The Marking Schemes are designed
so learners can write in comments regarding their answers. Some questions can be awarded half-
marks (except multiple-choice) if partially completed but it is best practice for learners to only mark
completely correct answers as right, this is due to differing marking decisions and testing methods
(manual and automated) used.

FREE BONUS UNIT
An additional ITQ (Information Technology Qualification) bonus unit is available
to download FREE (RRP £6.99) via the members’ area. The guide covers the
“Improving Productivity Using IT” unit (level 3), which was introduced into the
UK’s Qualification & Credit Framework (QCF) in 2010 (previously NVQ). The ITQ
unit can be mapped to the ECDL portfolio and once added to any four ECDL
Advanced (level 3) modules enables learners to claim the “ITQ Level 3 in IT
User Skills” certification provided by BCS (British Computer Society). Further

USING WORD 2016
www.learn-new-skills-from-home.com

The Advanced Word-Processing Unit covers advanced features, shortcuts,
examination checks and underpinning knowledge related to Microsoft Office Word
2016 certifications. The Advanced Word-Processing unit is designed to enable
learners to complete complex tasks in a Word-Processor (Microsoft Word)
application. Advanced tasks include, using sophisticated typographical, formatting
and layout configurations, including tables, forms and graphics, master
documents and using macros and advanced mail-merge operations.
WORD 2016 LAYOUT
In Office 2016 each application is assigned its own color-coded start screen, blue for Word, green for
Excel, red for Access and orange for PowerPoint. When Word 2016 is opened it displays a list of
recently opened documents, built in document templates (Blank document template set as default)
available, additional online template search facility and Open Other Documents option to search
for local documents on disk or in a SkyDrive (Microsoft online storage area) folder. At the top right
of the screen login details of any current SkyDrive accounts are displayed. The 2016 layout is
designed to help new users find their way around more easily, and more experienced users
appreciate having all options in one place at startup.

SKYDRIVE LOGIN DETAILS
When a Blank (new) Document is
created in Word it is opened in Print
Layout view as default. The Print
Layout view is ideal for users to get the
best perspective of designing their
document structured.

STANDARD VIEW
Microsoft Office Word 2016 supports the “DOCX” (XML format), which was introduced in Word
2007. The DOCX format took over from the standard “DOC” format used in previous office (2000,
XP, 2003) versions. Microsoft Office 2016 is backwards compatible enabling earlier Word versions to
be opened in Word 2016 but documents that were originally created in Word 2016 cannot be
opened in older applications (excluding Office 2007, 2010), which used the ‘DOC’ format, unless a
compatibility program is used (compatibility programs are available from the Microsoft downloads
website). Besides the XML format Microsoft Office 2016 has many added features and cosmetic
changes compared to some previous Office versions including capitalised ribbon text, general
functionality and toolbars.

The Word editor view is generally set as
Print Layout as default. Print Layout is
ideal for user to get the best perspective
of how their document will be displayed
when completed. Page views can vary,
depending on whichever view the user
last edited (Full Screen Reading, Web
Layout, Outline and Draft) and save the
document in.

THE MICROSOFT OFFICE BUTTON
In Office 2016 the Office Button (FILE tab) has been updated both cosmetically (text appears
capitalised) and functionally (when selected a new screen appears, making it easier to view commands
and menu options). Menu options include New, Open, Save, Save As, Print and the Options button
(for accessing additional commands). Once the user has accessed their desired function they can
return back to the main screen via the Back button option.

RIBBON
Microsoft Word 2016 unlike some previous versions (2000, 2003) uses a “Ribbon” interface to issue
commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the window, below the “Quick Access Toolbar”. At
the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab will display several related command groups.
Within each group are linked command buttons. Additionally a dialog box launcher is located in the
bottom-right corner of several groups, clicking the dialog box launcher option will give access to
extra commands. It is advised that learners use the recommended (by Microsoft) 1024x768 or
higher screen resolution when using Microsoft Office 2016; this is due to a dynamic ribbon being
used, which adjusts the amount of options displayed depending on visible space.
QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR
The “Quick Access Toolbar” is located by default at the top of the Word window and provides quick
access to tools that are used frequently. The Quick Access Toolbar can be customized by adding and
removing commands to it.
MORE COMMANDS OPTION
Before starting any test questions
learners should make sure the
“Minimize the Ribbon” option is
deselected on the quick access
toolbar otherwise the Office Ribbon
will be minimized every time you
click on the document page. Select
the Ctrl +F1 keys to activate the
Ribbon option.

OVERVIEW
The following guide covers advanced features, shortcuts, examination checks and underpinning
knowledge related to Microsoft Office Word 2016 certifications. Once you have worked your way
through the guide and are satisfied that you understand the information provided attempt the
Advanced Word-Processing tests located at the end of this unit.
HISTORY
Word is a graphical word-processing program that users can add styles to text, add captions to images
and text, cross references (headings and figures), add comments to text and images, track changes,
embed objects and auto-generate tables and indexes. Word is used primarily for creating documents
such as letters, brochures, learning activities, tests and quizzes.
Word was first released in 1981 with many of the ideas and features incorporated into it coming from
Bravo, the first graphical writing program. Microsoft brought the Bravo program, and changed its name
to Microsoft Word. When Word was released it used a feature called WYSIWYG(What You See Is What
You Get), which meant that users could change the visual style of writing (e.g. bold, italics), by clicking on
buttons, when in other programs like WordPerfect, users had to add special 'codes' to change the style of
writing. WYSIWYG is now a common feature of all computer writing programs.
FILE FORMATS
Word supports the “DOCX” (XML format). The DOCX format took over from the standard “DOC”
format used in previous office (2000, XP, 2003) versions.

TEMPLATES
A template is a document type that creates a copy of itself when the user opens it. In Microsoft Office
