Screen of microsoft word - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

If you are an absolute beginner with Microsoft Word, the screen can be very confusing.

In this post you’ll be given an express tour of the Word screen, shown the key components to look out for and introduced to the ‘lingo’ (terminology) that is used.

Clickable Table of Contents

1. What does Microsoft Word do?

Word is a powerful tool that allows you to create and manipulate business or personal documents. Whether you need a one-page letter, a 200-page report or want to create a fun flyer or newsletter, Word provides the tools you need.

You can format text by changing attributes like the style, the size and the colour. You can emphasise text by making it bold, italic (slanted) or by underlining it.

You may change the spacing and positioning of the text or add a header or footer which appears on every page.

Spelling mistakes can be easily identified, then rectified.

When you are comfortable with the basics, you can convert a solid page of text into several columns of text (like a newspaper), add pictures, diagrams or drawings, create tables of data, make cross-references to other parts of the document, add a table of contents or build a back-of-book index. Some of this is covered in this course. The more advanced features are not.

Because of its versatility, ease of use and functionality, Microsoft Word is the program of choice for individuals, small businesses and large companies across the world.

2. Key components of the Word screen

» Bird’s eye view

The annotated screenshot provides a birds eye view of the Word screen. Each of these components are broken down and explained in the next section.

» Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)

The Quick Access Toolbar sits in the top-left corner of the Word screen. It contains one-click access to features that YOU might use often and avoids the need to hunt down a tool amongst all the toolbars that are available.

The default icons are Autosave (on or off), Save, Undo and Redo, but you can add your own icons to suit the way you work.

» The command centre

At the top of the Microsoft Word screen is the command centre, a large array of tools that give you access to everything Microsoft Word has to offer.

The command centre comprises tabs, ribbons, command groups and commands (icons).

» Tabs and ribbons

Every Word tool is organised into TABS and RIBBONS. Each ribbon can be selected by clicking its TAB.

Each ribbon has groups of related tools that follow a particular theme or purpose.

The HOME RIBBON contains the most commonly used tools, whatever level you’re at. This is true of every program.

The next tab, INSERT contains commands for inserting different elements into the document, such as tables, pictures and other graphic objects.

Another tab, LAYOUT, contains commands for setting up the printed page, such as the paper size, margin sizes and page orientation.

You get the idea.

You’ll learn how to use some of these commands as you go through this course.

As a beginner, most of what you need is on the HOME TAB/RIBBON, so you shouldn’t have to venture too much further to find what you need.

» Command groups and commands (icons)

Commands (icons) are organised into groups. Group names appear at the bottom of the ribbon and are separated by vertical dividers.

Command groups contain a collection of related tools.

If you look at the HOME RIBBON, you’ll see command groups called Clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles, Editing and Add-Ins.

Faint vertical dividers are used to separate each command group.

On the HOME RIBBON, the FONT group contains options to change the font, font size and colour, set bold, italic and underline, and more.

» How screen size affects the commands you see

Icons can be different sizes and may or may not has a text description next to them.

For example, the PASTE icon (right) is large while the CUT, COPY and FORMAT PAINTER are small.

Microsoft Word uses smart technology to detect what size screen you are using and adapts the icons to best fit the size of your screen.

If you are using a big screen (e.g. a 27” or 32″ monitor), then there is adequate space to display icons at their full size.

However, if you are using a laptop or tablet device which has a small screen then the icons will be compacted to fit the space, and some may also lose their text descriptor.

» Screen tips

A screen tip is a floating box that appears when you hover over a command icon.

It tells you the function of the icon, i.e. what will happen when you click the icon.

» The printed page

The white page is laid out against a light-grey background, a bit like placing a blank page on a table top.

A large monitor often has the space to display the whole of an A4 vertical page on the screen. Sometimes you can display 2, 3 or more full-size pages side-by side on one screen.

On laptops or smaller screens, you will only see the top section of the page and you need to scroll down with your mouse to see the rest of the page.

A flashing vertical marker indicates where text will appear when you start typing

» Rulers, measurements and margin areas

A vertical ruler is displayed down the left side of the page and a horizontal ruler is displayed across the top of the page.

Measurements can be displayed using the metric system (cm) or the old imperial system (inches).

The grey section of the rulers show the margin area. These sections of the page cannot be typed into unless you are specifically editing the header or footer

To turn the ruler on or off:

1. Single-left-click the VIEW tab.

2. Tick the RULER tick box to show the ruler

3. Untick the RULER tick box to hide the ruler.

» Status bar

At the bottom of the Word window is the STATUS BAR.

The left side of the status bar can display all kinds of information about your document.

The example above shows the section number (chapter), page number, total number of pages, the word count, a spell check icon and the language used for the spell checker.

» 3 view icons

On the right side of the status bar, there are 3 view icons. The middle icon is the only one you’ll need as a beginner.

» Zoom / magnification

In the bottom-right corner of the Word window is the ZOOM control.

To change the magnification of your document

Either single-left-click the – or + at each end of the slider …
Or click-and-drag the slider left or right

Changing the zoom percentage DOES NOT change the size of the text when you print out your document. It simply allows you to get a closer look or pull out for a bird’s eye view.

» Sign in

In the top-right corner of your Word window is a SIGN IN button. This will sign you into your Office 365 account so you can change your settings, if needed.

» Ribbon display options

Also, in the top-right-corner of your Word window are the RIBBON DISPLAY OPTIONS icon.

Single-left-click the icon to display 3 options.

The default option is option 3: SHOW TABS AND COMMANDS. You can see all the tabs and the currently selected ribbon

The second option, SHOW TABS, only hides the RIBBON while you are editing your document.

To display the ribbon again, single-left-click a TAB. But remember, when you click back on your document, the ribbon will be hidden again

The third option: AUTO-HIDE RIBBON hides the tab row and the ribbon as well as the title bar and the status bar at the bottom of the screen to give you the most possible screen space for your document content.

This is useful is you are working on a small screen

To redisplay the tabs and ribbons

1. Move the mouse pointer to the top edge of the screen until the blue Word title bar appears.

2. Single-left-click the blue bar.

3. Single-left-click either SHOW TABS or SHOW TABS AND COMMANDS.

3. All the key points again

Word is a program (app) for creating everything from single-page documents to reports, flyers or full-length books.
The Quick AccessToolbar (QAT) provides one click access to the tools that you use the most.
At the top of the screen is the command centre. Commands (icons) are organised into command groups. Word will adapt the size of the commands and command groups to fit the screen space available.
There are a number of ribbons that contain related groups of commands. Each ribbon has a specific purpose or theme. Each ribbon has a tab which you can click to select the ribbon.
The RULER displays metric or imperial measurements. The grey section of the rulers indicates un-editable areas as defined by the margin sizes for the document.
The STATUS BAR at the bottom of the Word window provides information about the document, 3 different view icons and the zoom/magnification slider.
At the top-right of the Word window is the SIGN IN button (for Office 365) and the RIBBON DISPLAY OPTIONS icons which has 3 display settings – Hide Tabs and Commands, Show Tabs and Show Tabs and Commands. The last option is the default setting.
Hover over any command icon to see a screen tip which tells you the function of the icon.

Full screen mode used to exist in the really old versions of Microsoft Word. It allowed you to use up the entire screen of your computer to view your documents. However, in the newer versions of Word, the feature is missing and you won’t find the option to make Word full screen.

The question is, has the option really been removed and is there really no way to make Word go full screen on your computer?

Luckily, there’s still a way. Even though the option has been removed from the Word interface, the feature somehow still seems to exist and lets you use the old full-screen layout of Word. Since it’s hidden from the main options, you’re going to have to find a way to enable it and add it to a menu from where you can easily access it.

There are actually multiple ways to activate full-screen mode in newer versions of Microsoft Word.

Use a Keyboard Shortcut To View Word Full Screen

One of the quickest and easiest ways to make your latest version of Word go full screen is to use a keyboard shortcut. Although the option has been removed from the interface, the keyboard shortcut for it continues to work and does the exact task it’s supposed to do.

While you’re viewing a document in the normal mode and you want to make it full-screen, simply press the Alt + V keys at the same time on your keyboard. Then immediately press the U button on your keyboard and your document takes up your entire screen.

When you want to return to the normal mode, press the Esc key and you’ll be back to where you were.

Enable Word Full Screen From The Quick Access Toolbar

You may have noticed that there’s a small toolbar at the very top of your Word screen. It’s called the Quick Access toolbar, and as the name suggests, it lets you quickly access some of Word’s features on your machine.

You can actually use the toolbar to make Word full screen. There’s a command that you can add to the toolbar which then when clicked, opens your document in full-screen mode.

Click on the small down-arrow icon in the Quick Access toolbar and a menu will open on your screen. Select the option that says More Commands from this newly opened menu.

The following screen lists the commands you can add to the toolbar but it doesn’t show all the commands by default. To make it show all available commands, select All Commands from the Choose commands from the dropdown menu.

When all the commands are shown on your screen, look for the command that says Toggle Full Screen View. Click on it to select it and then click on the Add button to add the command to your toolbar.

When it’s added to your toolbar, you’ll see it in the right-hand side commands list. Click on the OK button at the bottom to save your changes.

You’ll now find a new icon appearing in your Quick Access toolbar. Click on the icon and it’ll open your current document in full-screen mode.

When you want to exit full-screen, just press Esc on your keyboard.

The icon for full-screen mode will continue to be there in your toolbar for all of your documents. If you ever want to remove it, you can do so by opening the pane you used to add the command, selecting the command in the right-hand side pane, and clicking Remove.

Make Word Full Screen Using The Read Mode

The Word full screen reading view may not be exactly a full-screen solution for your documents but it does the job to some extent. It hides many of your formatting toolbars and other items from your screen letting you focus on the document on your screen.

You are going to see some of the options at the top, though, which can’t be removed in this mode.

To access the read mode in MS Word, click on the View menu while your document is open and select the Read Mode option.

To switch back to the normal mode, press the Esc key on your keyboard. You’ll be back to the normal editing screen with all the toolbars on it.

Create a Customizable Keyboard Shortcut For Word Full Screen Mode

If you don’t want to use the default keyboard shortcut for Word full screen mode and you’d rather create your own, you can do so by using Macro in Word.

A Macro is a set of actions that are performed when you trigger the macro. You don’t really need to know much about it to be able to create a full-screen shortcut for Word, though.

Open your document in MS Word, click on the View tab at the top, click on the down-arrow icon under Macros, and select Record Macro.

Enter any value in the Macro name field. Then click on Keyboard in the Assign macro to section so you can assign a keyboard shortcut to your macro.

Once you click on Keyboard, you’ll see a new dialog box on your screen. Put your cursor in the Press new shortcut key field and press the keyboard shortcut that you want to assign to the full-screen mode. Click on Assign followed by Close to save your changes.

Press Alt + V on your keyboard. Then click on the down-arrow icon in the Macros option in your toolbar and select Stop Recording.

Click on the Macros down-arrow again and select View Macros.

Choose your macro in the list and click the Edit button.

Make sure your macro only contains the following code. You can copy and paste the following code in your macro if you want. Hit Ctrl + S to save changes.

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
    ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen = Not ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen
End Sub

From now on, whenever you press your custom keyboard shortcut in Word, it’ll launch your document in full-screen mode.

In this article, you will learn the different parts of Microsoft Word Windows 2019. This is a lesson – 03 of Microsoft Word. You may also read previous lessons to learn the complete Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Word is application software for writing texts, and different types of documents can be easily developed in a practical way.

In other words, it is a word processor that allows you to create and edit text. As long as you know what the parts of Microsoft Word are and what they are used for. With this software, the user will be able to write and design texts where they will be able to use different fonts, colors, and sizes, with the different commands of Word.

Along with other programs, there is a number of visual appearances and program window layout that can make the work easier. Let’s understand the basic parts of Microsoft Word Windows 2019.

In the below screenshot, you can see and learn about the various important parts of Microsoft Word Windows. If you learn the name of these parts then you will be used easily MS word application.

Different-Parts-of-Microsoft-Word-Window

Quick Access Toolbar:

This bar is one of the most important parts of Microsoft Word Windows 2019. It is also located at the top of the screen, in the left corner just above the File Tab. It is the place for the most frequently used commands. You can customize this Toolbar by clicking the little arrow that displays some more commands such as “New” which refers to opening a new document, “Open” which implies displaying a document that we have saved on our computer, “Undo” reverse the previous action or “Redo” do the action again, and “Save” to save the current document.
