- Office Skill 1-2: Getting to Know the Office 2010 User Interface Page: OF-6; Figure OF 1.5 If you have used a word processing or spreadsheet program in the past, you may be surprised when you open one of the Microsoft Office 2010 applications for the first time. Beginning with Office 2007, Microsoft redesigned the user experience—replacing the familiar menu bar/toolbar interface with a new Ribbon interface that makes it easier to find application functions and commands. The Ribbon is located across the top of the application window and organizes common features and commands into tabs. When a specific type of object is selected (such as a picture, table, or chart), a contextual tab will appear. For example, in Word, the Home tab includes the following groups: Clipboard , Font , Paragraph , Styles , and Editing , while the Excel Home tab includes groups more appropriate for a spreadsheet program: Clipboard , Font , Alignment , Number , Styles , Cells , and Editing . The Backstage view allows you to access the commands for managing and protecting your files (Save, Open, Close, New, and Print). Backstage replaces the Office Button menu from Office 2007 and the File menu from previous versions of Office.

- Office Skill 1-2: Getting to Know the Office 2010 User Interface Page: OF-6 through OF-7; Figure OF 1.6, box Many commands available through the Ribbon and Backstage are also accessible through keyboard shortcuts and shortcut menus. For example, pressing the F1 key will open Help in any of the Microsoft Office applications. Keyboard shortcuts typically use a combination of two keys, although some commands use a combination of three keys and others only one key. When a keyboard shortcut calls for a combination of key presses, such as Ctrl + V to paste an item from the Clipboard, you must first press the modifier key (Ctrl ), holding it down while you press the V key on the keyboard

These templates are always available from the Home section of the Available Templates page, in the Sample templates category.
- Office Skill 1-5: Saving Files Page: OF-14; Figure OF 1.16 As you work on a new file, it is displayed onscreen and stored in your computer’s memory. However, it is not permanently stored until you save it as a file to a specific location. The first time you save a file, the Save As dialog box will open. Here you can enter a file name, select the file type, and choose where to save the file. The next time you save this file, it will be saved with the same file name and to the same location automatically. The Save As dialog will not open again. As you are working with files, be sure to save often! Although Office 2010 includes a recovery function, it is not foolproof. If you lose power or your computer crashes, you may lose all the work done on the file since the last save. tips & tricks - The screen shot shown here is from Word 2010 running on the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

In Access, the Spelling button is on the Home tab, in the Records group. All of the Office applications include a built-in spelling checker. When you start the spelling checker, you will see that the Spelling dialog box varies slightly from application to application, but the basic spelling checker functionality is the same for all. In fact, the Office applications share the same dictionaries (the lists of words that the spelling checker checks against). With the spelling checker available in every application, there are no excuses for typos and misspelled words.
- Office Skill 1-6: Checking Spelling Page: OF-15 Whether or not you use the Spelling tool, you should always proofread your files. Spelling checkers are not infallible, especially if you misuse a word, yet spell it correctly—for instance, writing “bored” instead of “board.” When reviewing spelling suggestions in the Spelling dialog box, several actions are available for you to select: Click Ignore Once to make no changes to this instance of the word. Click Ignore All to make no changes to all instances of the word. Click Add to Dictionary to make no changes to this instance of the word and add it to the main dictionary, so future uses of this word will not show up as misspellings. When you add a word to the main dictionary, it is available for all of the Office applications. Click the correct spelling in the Suggestions: list, and click Change to correct just this instance of the misspelling in your document. Click the correct spelling in the Suggestions: list, and click Change All to correct all instances of the misspelling in your document. Click OK to close the dialog and return to your file.

- Office Skill 1-10: Checking for Compatibility Page: OF-19; Figure OF 1.21 To check your file to see if it contains elements that are not compatible with earlier versions of Microsoft Office: Some features in Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010 are not available in previous versions of the applications. If a file uses one of the new features, opening it in a previous version of Office may have unintended consequences. For example, conditional formatting in an Excel 2010 workbook will be converted to static cell shading in Excel 2003. If you are sharing a file created in Office 2010 with someone who may be using an earlier version of Office, you should check the file for compatibility issues. The Compatibility Checker lists the items in your file that may be lost or downgraded if you save the document in an earlier Microsoft Office format. For each item, the dialog lists the number of times the issue occurs in the file ( Occurrences ). Note: Running the Compatibility Checker does not change your document. It only lists the items that will lose functionality when the document is saved in an earlier Microsoft Office format. It is up to you whether or not you want to make any changes to the file.
- Office Skill 1-10: Checking for Compatibility Page: OF-19 There are few compatibility issues between Office 2010 and Office 2007, but there may be quite a few between Office 2010 and Office 97-2003.

The status bar also displays buttons for changing the file view. Although Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access all offer different types of views, the buttons for changing the view appear in the same place for all the applications— near the right side of the status bar.
- Office Skill 1-12: Using Help Page: OF-21; Figure OF 1.23 If you don’t know how to perform a task, you can look it up in the Office Help system. Each application comes with its own Help system with topics specifically tailored for working with that application. tips & tricks - At the bottom right of the Help window there is a button indicating if you are connected to Office.com or if you are working offline. If you are working offline (not connected to Office.com ), Help is still available, but it is limited to the topics that are installed as part of the Office applications.

Click Cancel to keep the document open. Closing a document removes it from your computer screen and stores the last-saved version for future use. If you have not saved your latest changes, most applications will prevent you from losing work by asking if you want to save the changes you made before closing. When you close a file, the application stays open so you can open another file to edit or begin a new file. Often, when you are finished working on a file, you want to close the file and close the application at the same time. In this case, click the Exit button in Backstage view instead of Close.
- Office Skill 1-13: Closing Files and Exiting the Application Page: OF-22 This is similar to clicking the Exit button from Backstage view.
