+The Office Button

When you click the Office Button , you see the same basic commands available on the File menu in earlier releases of Microsoft Office to open, save, and print your file.

+Ribbons (once known as toolbars)

As in Microsoft Excel & PowerPoint, The Ribbon replaces traditional menus which had become increasingly cluttered as more features and commands were added.

The Ribbon commands are organized into tabs that group related commands together.

Within each ribbon, commands are grouped into sub groups making them easier to locate and access.

help you format your document while typing, however, formatting while typing can be time consuming and can break up your thought process.

forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/1108349.htm

Using the mouse to format is considered quick and easy, however, any formatting that takes place during typing takes ones mind off the content of the document and eventually increases the total time needed to create the document. A list of mouse shortcuts can be found at

+Tabs & Tab Stops

Tab stops are often used to create easy-to-format documents — but the document layout options in Microsoft Office Word 2007 can do the work for you.

For example, you can easily create a table of contents or an index without setting a single tab stop. You can also use the predesigned table and header and footer options in Office Word 2007.

In addition, Office Word 2007 provides predesigned pages, such as cover pages and various page layout options, which make tab stops unnecessary.

+Tabs StopsManual tab stops

You can quickly set tabs by clicking the tab selector at the left end of the ruler until it displays the type of tab that you want and then clicking the ruler at the location you want. But which type of tab stop should you use?

NOTE   If you don't see the horizontal ruler that runs along the top of the document, click the View Ruler button at the top of the vertical scroll bar.

A LEFT TAB STOP SETS THE START POSITION OF TEXT THAT WILL THEN RUN TO THE RIGHT AS YOU TYPE.

A Center Tab stop sets the position of the middle of the text. The text centers on this position as you type.

A Right Tab stop sets the right end of the text. As you type, the text moves to the left.

A Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Independent of the number of digits, the decimal point will be in the same position. (You can align numbers around a decimal character only; you cannot use the decimal tab to align numbers around a different character, such as a hyphen or an ampersand symbol.)
