envelopes and email merges as well finally as a progression here that's suppose if you
have a big document or a big project to complete check the grammar to finally check some of the
research tools insert comments and then inspect the document before sharing it with other users
so stick around and check out as many of those modules as you can we'll get started in a moment
here with the first module for Microsoft Word 2016 in this session I'm going to cover the most basic
concepts in getting started with Word 2016 so we open Microsoft Word you can either click here on
the word icon or if you cannot locate it you can simply type here Microsoft Word or just word and
then choose Word 2016 now this is new with newer versions of Word particularly 2013 and 16 here
but notice you're presented here with a bunch of templates so you can start a blank document you
can take a tour of Microsoft Word or you can use one of those pre-designed templates that you are
presented where these are presented to you in the very beginning so that you don't have to reinvent
the wheel now notice here on the left hand side you also have the recent documents that you have
been working with and also you have the option here to open other documents in your computer so
let's assume that you wanted to use one of those templates but instead of you redesigning something
you can simply click on one of those designs or templates and click to create it and it's as
simple as that and then all you have to do is fill in this information in any of these fields let's
go back to the previous window here notice that you can also search for templates online so let's
say I want to brochure type it what you want and then you'll see here a listing of designs from the
web all you have to do like we did earlier you can click on it and then it will open up and change
it notice you also have these options here on the right-hand side so feel free to check those out as
well open it now click on create now this it has all the components and you do not have to reinvent
the wheel so the third scenario here is how to create a new document so of course let's assume
that we don't need these whatsoever and we are starting from scratch you'll find the Microsoft
Word and you'll click on a blank document once you click on a blank document now you're
presented with the interface for Microsoft Word so before we get any further here I'll just take
a couple more minutes and explain just some of the components that they exist here in Word 2016 it's
very similar to the previous versions that you are used to using however it probably helps for
somebody who is starting so notice here you have these different tabs here on the very top you have
the Home tab the insert tab you have the design tab the Layout tab and so on the tabs here along
with all of these different icons within each one of the tabs and those icons are simply different
functions that you can perform in a document using Microsoft Word you notice that those functions are
also grouped together so for example all the stuff that has to do with the fonts it's under
the font block here or grouping anything that has to do with paragraphs or styles it's under
the paragraph grouping here or Styles grouping if you go under the insert tab similar thing as
well you have here anything that has to do with illustrations it's in the its own grouping and so
on so the way those tabs work they are organized in the order that you'd most likely work with in
a document so particularly if you're working on a brand new document you're going to create the
content format the text paragraphs apply some Styles then you're going to insert stuff to the
document such as pictures and tables and such and then you're going to change the layout to
the document you're going to add some references but potentially you might be doing some mailings
and so on and then finally you might be doing some review for it checking spelling and such
and then under the View tab here you'll be able to read it to finalize before you send that document
or project with somebody so again the concept to understand here is that they are organized in a
certain way grouped the icons are grouped together and the tabs are in a specific order depending on
the work that you're doing notice also you have the file menu this is back from if you remember
in office 2007 that was taken away notice you have some additional options here how to save the
document how to print it share it at Spore word it and so on notice if you wanted to change also
options within your application you could go under options here and this is where you can customize
additional settings related to Microsoft Word in your computer now you could change here for some
of the themes or you could change the display and but one of the things that you might want
to change you might end up changing at some point is this save location as well so just check those
out and nothing is going to be broken as long as you potentially take note of what you're changing
now we're in the very top left you have what's called a quick access toolbar the quick access
toolbar has the most commonly used functions here and you can customize this to add additional items
as well so notice I clicked here on the drop down you can put here the email icon or attach
icon now if you want it also an icon here let's say for inserting pictures well all you have to
do is you right click here and choose to add it to quick access toolbar and now the option to add
pictures it's added to the quick access toolbar so again quick access toolbar serves for you to get
quickly to whatever you need to do another thing to remember here is that notice we don't see the
ruler anywhere in this document so this is the area of course where you type your document and
such so if you need to view additional components here you can choose to under the View tab you want
to customize the shoulder ruler for the document you can even have gridlines if you needed to and
navigation pane as well if you need it too additionally before I finalize this quick
session here notice that on the bottom right here you have also options for zooming in and out of
the document and you have the various different layouts for this specific document whether you
want to do a read mode or the print layout mode here on the left you also have the page numbers
and the words in this specific document if you click on any of these options here it will give
you more information about your document finally one which feature and this is new in word 2020
16 is that let's say you're on the Home tab here and you don't know how to do something well office
2016 has this option here that you can it says tell me what you want to do so if you'll need
to change let's say the margins you simply type margins here and notice it gives you the all the
potential options here so you don't necessarily have to know where an option is even though I'm
going to explain it in this tutorial so you click here and adjust margins and it gives you all the
different options for margins even though you're not in that specific tab if you're not sure as
to how to do something you can also click here and get help on margins and it will take you to
the online help for office 2016 directly from Microsoft so some of those options will learn
them as well as we go but I thought it would be helpful for you to know about this feature tell me
what you want to do so hopefully that is helpful stay tuned we'll get started in a moment the next
segment here on getting started with a document doing some of the basic functions in a dark
