Word 2016 - Getting Started with Word

Introduction
Microsoft Word 2016 is a word processing application that allows you to
create a variety of documents, including letters, resumes, and more. In this
lesson, you'll learn how to navigate the Word interface and become familiar
with some of its most important features, such as the Ribbon, Quick Access
Toolbar, and Backstage view.
Getting to know Word 2016
Word 2016 is similar to Word 2013 and Word 2010. If you've previously used
either version, then Word 2016 should feel familiar. But if you are new to
Word or have more experience with older versions, you should first take
some time to become familiar with the Word 2016 interface.
The Word interface
When you open Word for the
first time, the Start
Screen will appear. From
here, you'll be able to create
a new document, choose
a template, and access
your recently edited
documents. From the Start
Screen, locate and
select Blank document to
access the Word interface.

Working with the Word environment
Like other recent versions, Word 2016 continues to use features like
the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar—where you will find commands to
perform common tasks in Word—as well as Backstage view.
The Ribbon
Word uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus.
The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, which you can find near the top of the
Word window.
The Ribbon
• Each tab contains several groups of related commands. For example, the
Font group on the Home tab contains commands for formatting text in
your document.
The Ribbon
Some groups also have a small arrow in the bottom-right corner that you
can click for even more options.
Showing and hiding the Ribbon
If you find that the Ribbon takes up too much screen space, you can hide it.
To do this, click the Ribbon Display Options arrow in the upper-right corner of
the Ribbon, then select the desired option from the drop-down menu:
Showing and hiding the Ribbon
• Auto-hide Ribbon: Auto-hide displays your document in full-screen mode
and completely hides the Ribbon from view. To show the Ribbon, click
the Expand Ribbon command at the top of screen.
• Show Tabs: This option hides all command groups when they're not in use,
but tabs will remain visible. To show the Ribbon, simply click a tab.
• Show Tabs and Commands: This option maximizes the Ribbon. All of the
tabs and commands will be visible. This option is selected by default when
you open Word for the first time.
Using the Tell me feature
If you're having trouble
finding command you want,
the Tell Me feature can
help. It works just like a
regular search bar: Type
what you're looking for, and
a list of options will
appear. You can then use
the command directly from
the menu without having to
find it on the Ribbon.
The Quick Access Toolbar
Located just above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar lets you access
common commands no matter which tab is selected. By default, it shows
the Save, Undo, and Redo commands, but you can add other commands
depending on your needs.
To add commands to the Quick Access
Toolbar:
1. Click the drop-down
arrow to the right of
the Quick Access
Toolbar.
2. Select the command you
want to add from the
menu
To add commands to the Quick Access
Toolbar:
3. The command will be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.
The Ruler
The Ruler is located at the top and to the left of your document. It makes it
easier to adjust your document with precision. If you want, you can hide the
Ruler to create more screen space.
To show or hide the Ruler:
1. Click the View tab.

2. Click the checkbox next to Ruler to show or hide the Ruler.


Backstage view
Backstage view gives you various options for saving, opening a file, printing,
and sharing your document. To access Backstage view, click the File tab on
the Ribbon.

Document views and zooming
• Word has a variety of viewing options that change how your document is
displayed. You can choose to view your document in Read Mode, Print
Layout, or Web Layout. These views can be useful for various tasks,
especially if you're planning to print the document. You can also zoom in
and out to make your document easier to read.
Switching document views
• Read Mode: This view opens the document to a full screen. This view is
great for reading large amounts of text or simply reviewing your work.
Switching document views
Print Layout: This is the default document view in Word. It shows what the
document will look like on the printed page.
Zooming in and out
To zoom in or out, click and drag the zoom control slider in the bottom-right
corner of the Word window. You can also select the + or - commands to
zoom in or out by smaller increments. The number next to the slider displays
the current zoom percentage, also called the zoom level.
