THE MOS CERTIFICATION TEST

3. HOW TO BECOME MOS CERTIFIED

4. CREATING MACROS
(VIEW TAB)
Macros are small programs that record your
keystrokes as you perform a task, and then save
the actions you performed as a Visual Basic
Module- a type of program file. When you run
the macro later, it will repeat your keystrokes,
thus repeating your actions. This is why they are
great for automating repetitive tasks.

5. BACKSTAGE (FILE TAB)
After you click the File tab, you can see the Microsoft Office Backstage view. The
Office Backstage view is where you manage your files and the data about them —
creating, saving, inspecting for hidden metadata or personal information, and
setting options. In short, it is everything that you do to a file that you don't
do in the file.
The File tab in Microsoft Office 2010 replaces the Microsoft Office Button
and File menu used in earlier releases of Microsoft Office.

6. APPLYING REFERENCES (REFERENCE TAB)
TABLE OF
CONTENTS
Imagine you're working with a really long
document in Microsoft Word, like an
academic paper or a big report. Depending
on the project, it might be dozens or even
hundreds of pages long.
If you apply a heading style, you're telling
Word that you've started a new part of your
document. When you insert the table of
contents, it will create a section for each
heading. In the table of contents above, each
chapter uses a heading style, so there are
four sections.
Now for the easy part! Once you've applied
heading styles, you can insert your table of
contents in just a few clicks. Navigate to
the References tab on the Ribbon, then click
the Table of Contents command. Select a
built-in table from the menu that appears,
and the table of contents will appear in your
document.
FOOTNOTES
Footnotes and endnotes often appear in
the same discussion and there is some
confusion between the two terms. Let us
clear up that confusion. Footnotes and
endnotes are used in printed documents
to explain, comment on, or provide
references for text in a document. Many
people use footnotes for detailed
comments and endnotes for citation of
sources.
Footnotes typically appear at the end of
each page, whereas endnotes appear at
the end of the document. Footnotes and
endnotes consist of two linked parts –
the note reference mark and the
corresponding note text.
CITATIONS
& BIBILOGRAPHY
In Word, you can automatically create a
bibliography of the sources you used to
write your paper. Each time you add a
new citation to your paper, Word adds
that source so that it appears in the
bibliography in the correct format, such
as MLA, APA, and Chicago-style.
When you've completed these steps, the
citation is added to the list of available
citations. The next time you quote this
reference, you don't have to type it all
out again, just click Insert Citation and
select the citation you want to use.

7. PROOFING (REVIEW TAB)
• Spelling & Grammar Check- Checking all the
spelling and grammar in your document is useful when you want to
quickly proof your text. You can check for possible mistakes and
then decide if you agree with the spelling and grammar checker.
• Define - When you highlight a word in Word 2013 and right
click it, one of the options is "Define" to define the highlighted
word. The Define option requires you to choose an App for Office
that is called when the option is selected.
• Thesaurus - Using the Research feature, you can look up
synonyms (different words with the same meaning) and antonyms
(words with the opposite meaning) in the thesaurus.
• Word Count - Microsoft Word counts the number of
words in a document while you type. Word can also count the
following: Pages, Paragraphs, Lines, Characters, either
including or excluding the spaces

8. LINKS (INSERT TAB)
Hyperlink
A link from a hypertext file or document
to another location or file, typically
activated by clicking on a highlighted
word or image on the screen.
Bookmark
A bookmark identifies a location or a
selection of text that you name and identify
for future reference. For example, you might
use a bookmark to identify text that you
want to revise at a later time. Instead of
scrolling through the document to locate the
text, you can go to it by using
the Bookmark dialog box.
Cross-reference
A cross-reference refers to an item that
appears in another location in a document.
By default, Word inserts a cross-reference as
a hyperlink that you can click to be taken
directly to the cross-referenced item. You
can create cross-references to items such as
headings, footnotes, bookmarks, captions,
and numbered paragraphs.
