Lessons on working in Word. Typing text in the Word text editor

The topic of today's lesson, we hope, will be of interest to the vast majority of users who have just begun to master the computer, as well as to those who are accustomed to working with offices of the 97-2003 series, but they need to switch to Office 2007 due to a change, for example, in the corporate standard At work.

Indeed, many who saw the package Microsoft Office 2007, they will agree that not only the appearance has changed, but also the logic of work in this package. Today and in several subsequent lessons we will try to figure out how to quickly switch to using programs Office package 2007 and start working with it as efficiently as possible.

For those who want to master previous versions of the office, as well as Open Office There will be a series of lessons in the future.

Since the basic operations in many text editors are quite similar, let’s look at them first, because our newsletter involves teaching people of all levels of computer skills and ages how to use a computer. So if you already know these techniques, you can safely skip this section.

And so, let's look at the basic operations available in text editors.

1. Selecting text. First, let's briefly talk about the purpose of this operation. When composing any text, you should adhere to such a simple rule as the one that says: “First you need to write the entire text, and then, starting from the head of the document, edit it.” To change spelling, style, size, font type, copy individual words, text fragments, text formatting elements - it should be highlighted so that the text editor understands what exactly these operations need to be performed on. There are many ways to highlight a font. in various ways. Today we will look at the most common ones.

1.1 Selecting text with the mouse. This method is the most common, and sometimes even the most effective. The principle of this selection is as follows: you need to move the mouse cursor to the beginning of the word/fragment of text that you want to select, click left button mouse and, while holding it, move the cursor to the end of the word/fragment of text that you want to highlight for some action.

(The figure shows what highlighting the phrase “basic operations” would look like in the environment Microsoft Word 2007. In other text editors it may differ in color, but its essence and purpose do not change)

I would like to immediately note that this method text selection works not only in text editors, but also in Internet browsers, and in mail clients, and in many other programs that display text on the screen as a series of letters in a font, rather than as an image (for example, text appears as an image if you scan a page with text - without special program You will not be able to edit this text).

1.2 Selecting text using the arrow keys on the keyboard and the Shift key. This method is especially convenient if you need to select several letters from a word, or just one specific element formatting. First (you can use the mouse) you need to place the cursor (click the left mouse button or move the blinking text editor cursor with the arrows on the keyboard) to the place in the text from which you will begin selecting the text, then you need to click Shift key and, without releasing it, move the cursor with the arrows to the end of the word/text that you need to highlight.

2. We have figured out how the text is highlighted, now we will consider in order why we need this, namely with basic operations that can be performed with selected text.

2.1 Copy, paste and move text. To copy text to the clipboard (see) and then paste it in another place/another program, you must run next steps: select the text with which you want to perform the operation, then click on it right click mouse and in the opened context menu select "Copy", then move the blinking text editor cursor to the place where you want to copy this text, right-click on it and select "Paste". If you need to transfer a piece of text, then instead of the “Copy” item, you need to use the “Cut” item from the context menu that opens.

2.2 Changing font size, type and spelling. Similar buttons, as in the above figure (fragment from MS Word 2007), are available in the vast majority of text editors. Some buttons may be missing, but their functionality can be accessed through the Format>Font menu in most text editors (this menu is not available in programs Microsoft package Office 2007 as a view). As can be seen from the figure, using these buttons and pop-up lists we can perform the following actions with text (from left to right and top to bottom):

2.2.1 change the font;
2.2.2 change the font size;
2.2.3 increase the font size by one point;
2.2.4 reduce the font size by one point;
2.2.5 clear text formatting;
2.2.6 make the font bold;
2.2.7 make the text italic;
2.2.8 make the font underlined;
2.2.9 make the font strikethrough;
2.2.10 place text in uppercase;
2.2.11 place the text in lower case;
2.2.12 change the case of the text according to a certain pattern (for example, each sentence will strictly begin with capital letter, or all letters are converted to capital letters);
2.2.13 change the font highlight color (default is white);
2.2.14 change the font color (default is black).

2.3 Formatting paragraphs of text. In the figure at the end of the paragraph you can see the main options for formatting paragraphs. Let me remind you that we perform any actions with the text after we select it. Now I give a description of the toolbar buttons in order. They are also very similar in many text editors. Again from left to right and top to bottom:

2.3.1 markers (creation bulleted list);
2.3.2 numbering (creating a numbered list);
2.3.3 multi-level list (creating multi-level list, simplest example which you see in this article);
2.3.4 reduce the left indent (reducing the paragraph indent from the left margin of the page);
2.3.5 increase the left indent (increasing the paragraph indent from the left margin of the page);
2.3.6 sorting (sorting selected text or numeric data);
2.3.7 display of hidden formatting characters (tab characters, end of paragraph, soft hyphen, page or column breaks and other special characters that are not displayed when printing text on a printer - for this they are also called “non-printing characters”);
2.3.8 text alignment to the left;
2.3.9 text alignment in the middle;
2.3.10 align text to the right;
2.3.11 aligning text to the width of the page;
2.3.12 line spacing;
2.3.13 changing the background of the selected text or paragraph;
2.3.14 designation of text/table cell boundaries.

3. Creating tables. Despite the fact that the main specialization of text editors is working with text, however, creating not very complex tables and not very complex actions included in the functionality of many professional editors. However, the process of creating tables in them is very similar, therefore, in order not to repeat it, it will be discussed using the example of the MS Word 2007 editor with explanations for users of previous versions of the MS Office software package.

Getting to know the tabs and toolbars of MS Word 2007

Yes, yes, exactly with tabs and toolbars, because... familiar menu MS Office 2007 is no longer included in the package, but their “intuitive” tabs have been replaced. We intentionally indicated this phrase in quotation marks, because... In fact, it turns out that everything is not so intuitive. Now let's talk about everything in order.

1. Home tab.

This tab is somewhat like a hybrid of the Standard and Formatting toolbars. According to the new logic, here are collected the most necessary tools for carrying out standard operations with text. Here we see a block responsible for working with the clipboard, a block responsible for working with the display of fonts and their style, a block regulating the formatting of paragraphs (and table elements), a whole healthy “Styles” block, which actually contains templates styles for headings, subheadings, quotes, and some plain text formatting. Styles can be changed and you can create your own. Well, and the “Editing” block, which includes basic operations for automatic search and replacing words and text fragments, as well as tools that allow you to use non-standard types of highlighting text and non-text elements.

2. Insert tab.

The sets of tools that are on this tab combine such a great mission as inserting and implementing various text and non-text elements into a document.
Namely, in the “Pages” block we can insert a template of a ready-made title page of our document (if our document, for example, is some kind of report or research), it is possible to insert a blank page into the document (with breaks before and after), as well as page breaks directly (in the vast majority of cases, page breaks are forced termination current page with transition to the next one).
The "Tables" block allows us to insert a table (and only insert it, since to edit it we will use the "Working with Tables" section that appears after inserting the table and the accompanying "Design" and "Layout" tabs - you cannot see this section until until you insert a table into the document).
The “Illustrations” block allows you to insert a picture from a file, a clip from the Clip Art collection, which is built into the MS Office package, as well as use Microsoft’s online resources. You can also draw different geometric shapes, insert various diagrams. The "Links" block allows you to insert links into your document, both to other documents and to certain positions in the current document.
The "Header and Footer" block allows you to insert header and footer (text that will be visible on all pages of the document) onto the page, as well as automatically enter document page numbers.
The "Text" block allows you to place various text elements, such as inscriptions, express blocks, signature lines, date and time, and many other elements that are not used in everyday life, but occasionally may be required to compose a beautiful and original document.
The symbols block includes an equation editor and a symbol table (extended keyboard layout, Greek letters and many other symbols not used when writing words). In other words, if you need to insert something into the text, then you should go to the Insert tab. This is logic that, if you understand, working with Office 2007 will become very convenient. At the end of this lesson, the main points will be given in If-Then format.

3. Page Layout tab.

IN previous versions MS Office, and even their worst competitor these days, used the File>Page Options menu. Now this important process We dedicated an entire tab with a set of different blocks with toolbars. Here you can set document design templates, determine the size of the fields, page orientation, sheet size (A4 by default), the presence and number of columns, hyphenation and much more. Also, smart heads from Microsoft have included the ability to control the position of pictures and other non-text objects relative to the text.

Allows you to insert various footnotes, create a table of contents for the document, lists of illustrations used, and includes tools for working with cross-references and lists of references. Required this tab most often when writing various scientific works, as well as diploma and coursework students of various educational institutions.

Allows you to send messages various materials partners. Supports the creation of universal fields, which will automatically add, for example, the names of your partners in the greeting. Naturally, you must first compile this database in Microsoft application Outlook (preferred), or Microsoft program Outlook Express.

6. Review Tab.

This tab includes a spell checker, a thesaurus, and the possibility of translations (for some reason only from English to German and vice versa). For those who have used previous MS Office packages, it will be easier to understand if we write that the entire Tools menu in terms of spelling and corrections has been moved to this tab. For those who have not used it, we will explain later what it is and why.

7. View Tab

Analogous to the View menu in previous versions of Office. Here you can select the document viewing mode, determine the display of elements such as Ruler, Grid, Document Outline and Thumbnails. Also the page display scale and the order of window placement. It is also possible to control the work with macros, but this is already a high-level pilotage, to which, perhaps, in the future we will devote a separate newsletter, because This is already included in the category of programming and is beyond the scope of this course.

And now the promised summary of the tabs and brief description logic.

If you need to perform basic text formatting (enlarge it, reduce it, make it bold, underlined, strikethrough, italic, etc.), as well as set the alignment and color scheme text (did you notice how many times the word “text” is written in this paragraph?), then you need the Home tab - the editor is a text editor, after all? Means HOME its task is text, hence the tab HOME !

If you need to insert a picture, diagram, clip, page break into a document, blank slate link, footer, page numbers, well, in general, if you need anything at all INSERT into the document, then, accordingly, you need to go to the tab INSERT .

If you need to change margins, change sheet size, orientation, determine indents, as well as the position of pictures on the page, and in general, if you need to change something regarding PAGES, then you need to go to the tab PAGE LAYOUT .

Now for another example, you open a book, what do you see? Table of contents with links to page numbers. It may sound a little clumsy, however, this formulation will allow you to quickly understand this logic! Table of contents, footnotes, cross-references, list of used literature (links to literature) - these are all links. Which tab are we going to? Right! LINKS !!!

And now I’ll ask you a question - after what does any book, any scientific project end up in life? After REVIEWS. What does it include? Literacy of wording, text, etc., etc., located in the tab REVIEW .

What is the name of what we see on the screen? Many different versions maybe, however, in in this case we'll call this VIEW . VIEW We VIEW them. Therefore, to change something about this VIEW That is, whether it is the page display scale, viewing mode, or display of some visual tools, such as a ruler or grid - your tab is called VIEW .

This is the logic. Guided by it, you can very easily navigate your new office.

That's all for today, expect the next parts to be released soon! Good luck in mastering the computer!!!

Probably this article should have been written at the beginning of the creation of this site. But only now have my hands and head gotten around to this matter. So, let's talk a little about how to work in word 2010. On the Internet you can, of course, find a lot of information about how to work with this editor, but reading them, already in the first paragraphs of the article you want to close the page and leave the site, without having learned anything useful for myself. The thing is that the articles are written in complex scientific language, using “abstruse” terminology.

For example, I’m used to having information conveyed to me in an understandable, in simple language. Well, they chewed it out, so to speak. So I set a goal for myself, to provide you with clear information on how to work in Word. Moreover, in order to work as a freelancer, you need to mandatory You need to know the basics of using a text editor.

So, it's no secret that this is the most famous text editor, which is used in all areas of activity and is designed to perform various types of operations related to material processing. Why do I say “processing”, because word is used not only for writing text, but also for:

correcting grammar errors in the text,
spelling errors,
upon registration appearance documents,
creating tables,
images and drawings,
for writing business letters,
business cards,
using worda, you can calculate mathematical formulas,

I'm not even talking about combined work with several Word documents. But I won’t go too deep into all the nuances that it provides us with. this editor, let's focus on the simplest functions.

To get started, open the document. Immediately, by default, we have a blank “conditionally” sheet of paper on which you can already type text. But let's first look around and analyze what is depicted in its upper part. What we see:

File.
Home.
Insert.
Page layout.
Links.
Newsletters.
Reviewing.

What you need to know before you start working in word 2010

Save – a function that allows you to save a printed document.

save as , performs the same role as the previous one, only before saving it allows us to give the document a name.
Open – the name itself indicates what this key does, opens the current document.
Close – this command closes the current document. When you click on it, you will also be prompted to save the document.
Intelligence – information general meaning Word programs.
Latest – displays the most recently created documents.
Create – by clicking on this key, you will create a new Word text document.
Seal , here I think everything is clear to you, let’s move on.
Save and send , I also think these functions will be clear.
reference , is of the same nature as the reduction function.
parameters , before working in word 2010, I would recommend visiting this feature, which will allow you to customize your word as you wish.
Exit , terminates the program.

Home - this can be said to be the main menu when working in word 2010. All the necessary and priority functions are located here. Let's figure out what we see here. We read from left to right. The first menu is clipboard, in which you can insert new document or a proposal from a new document to the current one. You just need to press the insert key, and a column will open in front of you on the left side, in which there will be text or what is in another Word document, which is open in parallel with your current document. In simple words, if you have two Word documents open, then this column allows you to transfer the contents of one document to another.

Changing the font in the text

If this is a little clear, then move on to the column FONT . This column is responsible for highlighting our text with different “ squiggles" Under this interesting word, I mean, I will introduce highlighting of words and the entire text. In this menu you can change the font, making it bold or underlined. In addition, it is possible highlight text with a different color When you click on the corresponding icon, see the screenshots. Next to the button that changes the text color, there is an icon for changing the background. With its help, you can highlight any part of the text background with a different color. However, the color of the text remains unchanged. (Example in the screenshot). You probably noticed the letters, ( J, K, H).

Letter " AND" means making the text bold.
Letter " TO» tilts the text to the right.
Letter " H"emphasizes the text.

REMEMBER that in order to perform these operations in the text, you need to select the part to which you want to apply these actions.

Next, turning to the panel ( FONT ) we will see a small inscription and numbers next to it. This function is responsible for changing the text font and its size. By clicking on the arrows, we will be offered a wide list of fonts, as well as their sizes. Starting from 8 to 72.

Let's finish this with the font column and move on to the next one ( PARAGRAPH ). Those commands that are located in this column are responsible for marking up the text. With their help, you can place the text in the middle, align it to the left, or to the right.

In addition, if you plan to break articles or documents into paragraphs, subparagraphs, then this can be done using top line with numbers arranged vertically. I draw your attention to the screenshot where I tried to describe in as much detail as possible what I just wrote. Actually, working in Word 2010 is not that difficult, the main thing is to read the tips that pop up when you hover over one or another icon.

Digressing a little from the topic, I would like to tell you that before working in word 2010, I was dealing with the 2003 version. As for me, the programmers from the campaign of the same name did a good job and everything is for our benefit. The functionality of these versions is simply not comparable. It has become so much more convenient to use the program. Well, okay, what am I talking about?

STYLES, I won’t dwell on them too much, there’s really nothing to tell here. It is clear that when changing the style, the writing of the text will change.

And the last column of the main heading - EDITING. It contains three functions:

Find. With its help, you can find any content in our document, for example, if you receive a letter with a large list of something, and you need to find something specific in it, then in order to do this, just press the (find) button and paste in the menu that opens, search for what we need.
Replace. This command allows you to replace the selected element with another one.
Select. Well, to be honest, I don’t use this function; it’s easier for me to select text or a fragment of it. right key mice. This way, in my opinion, is more convenient.

Well, this concerns the main section. This is the section you will need most often when writing. text documents. If you are dealing with tables or images, then I suggest you familiarize yourself with the next column, which is called INSERT. Everything is simple here. In the first column, we are offered the following:

Title page. This function V work word 2010, will allow you to make the first page of your document beautiful title page, which you can choose from the proposed templates.
Blank page, function allows you to add the next sheet.
Page Break – Creates a gap between your text pages.

Creating tables in Word

Next in the text is the column table , with which you can create any kind of tables, starting with the simplest ones. You just need to move your mouse and select the number of columns and columns you need. Or insert a table from Excel.

I will try to tell you how to work with the Excel editor in my next post for this section, since this topic cannot be covered in one paragraph.

Regarding the column ILLUSTRATIONS , then in it we can attach to our text graphic materials: photos, pictures, various figures. You can add pictures from your computer. If you click on the pictures, you will right side a column with a list will open ready-made pictures, from which we will have to choose the one we like.

The next column is LINKS . If you already have a good understanding of how to work in word 2010, then this column will be within your power. With its help, you can insert a link into the text to any external source. It is convenient to use this function if you are writing your resume or application form, in which you can insert a link to your website, where examples of work are located. Well, this is a hint for you on how to use this function.

Another column that I would like to pay attention to is SYMBOLS . If you click on the icon with the name of the formula, you will see different symbols, which you can substitute and derive your own formula, or use the formulated templates that are most often used when preparing documentation.

In general, in word 2010, there are many functions that I have yet to understand. But I told you what I can use. There is nothing complicated about it. My advice to you is to read the tips that the program provides you when you hover your cursor over any object.

As for the remaining columns:

Page layout,
Links,
Newsletters,
Reviewing,

All these functions are presented in the first three headings. Here their capabilities are revealed more widely. If you confident user PC and you know how to work in word 2010, then you yourself understand their purpose.

Well, as for the main work of the Word program, I briefly described the main features that it offers us. If you have any questions, and I think you do, then please ask them in the comments to this post. Once again thank you for your valuable time.
