Getting Started
You will first log into your student account The next slide will show you where to
click to find Microsoft Office. As you will see, the Microsoft Windows
icon will take you to Microsoft Office.
Click on this “Windows” icon
Where do you find Microsoft Office?
This window will appear but Microsoft
is not a selection so….
Click on “All Programs”
Click on “Microsoft Office”
folder
An “All Program” window will appear
The Microsoft Office folder will open and show all the Microsoft programs like Excel, Powerpoint,
Word, etc.
Click on “Microsoft
Word 2010”
Microsoft Word will open to this page.
This area, outlined in red, is called a
“Ribbon”
This area contains buttons to help you
perform the functions shown by the icons.
These are called “tabs”.
The tabs names are: File, Home, Insert, Page
Layout, References,
Mailings, Review and
View.
This is the styles area. Every time you open Microsoft Word
your page spacing will be automatically set up (default) for single spacing. The box outlined in yellow that says “Normal” is single spacing.
This is the paragraph area. In this area you can
select align text left, center, align text right and justify.
When you open Microsoft Word, the default will be “align
text left”.
This means that the text you type will start at the
left hand side of the page.
This is the “center” icon. Press this icon button if you want to
type a title in the middle of the page.
This is the “align text right” icon button.
Press this icon button if you want to add your name and date to the
page.
When you start typing your name and date it
will show up at the right hand side of the page.
This is the “justify” icon button. You will learn
what this button can do during a future lesson.
You will use these three icon buttons the most. The “B”
icon stands for bold, the “I” icon stands for italics and the
“U” stands for underline. These icon buttons are used
to emphasize words.
You will use the font area to choose font type and font
size.
To select the font type (theme) click on the down arrow, find a font you want
and click on it.
To select the font size, click on the down arrow, find a font size you want for either the title, subtitle or body of your
document and click on it.
READY, SET AND GO
After you have typed your document, you will be ready to save it. You must save your document so that you do not lose any of the work you did. This is how…

will have several selections.
Click on the “Save As” button.
Type in the name of your document
here.
After you have typed your
document name, click on the
“Save” button.
Once you have saved your document, you are done
until you are ready to work on it again.
What happens when I want to add to my document or make
changes after I have saved my document?
Opening a Document
When you are ready to work on your document, again, you will “Open” your document.
