Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is a word processing application that allows you to create many different types of document, from letters, Resumes/CVs to greetings cards, posters and flyers. You can select from a library of customisable templates or start from scratch and create your own.

Word gives you the ability to do more with your word processing projects, with the introduction of several enhanced features, such as the ability to create and collaborate on documents online using OneDrive.

Before we begin, throughout this book, we will be using the resource files.

You can download these files from

Go down to the Microsoft Word section and click the icons to download the documents to the documents folder on your PC.

Starting Word

The quickest way to start Microsoft Word is to search for it using the Cortana search field on the bottom left of your task bar. Type “Word”. From the search results, click ‘word’. You’ll also find it on your start menu.

Once Word has started, you’ll land on the home screen. On the home screen, you’ll see recently used templates along the top, and your most recently saved documents listed underneath.

To begin, click ‘blank document’ to start. This will open up Word with a new document for you.

Getting Started

Once you have selected a template or created a new document, you will see your main work screen. All the tools used in Microsoft Word are organised into ribbons based on their function, circled below.

On the bottom left of the main window you’ll see your page and word counter, as well as your language selection tools.

On the bottom right hand side of the screen, you’ll see your document display modes: reading, print & web. For normal documents it is best to leave the display mode on print layout.

At the end you’ll see your document zoom controls. Use these to zoom into the page.
