5. Microsoft Word 2007 has an improved navigation system that is easier to use than ever before. As you will see, the Ribbon is a set of tools across the top of the Word screen arranged in tabs and groups. Help! Where is the File menu????
8. For example, the Home tab includes the Clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles and Editing groups.
9. When you see a small arrow in the lower right corner of a group, it means there are more options available for the group. Click the arrow (called the Dialog Box Launcher) and you will see a window with more commands available. For example, the Font group has more options available such as superscript and emboss.
10. Have you ever wasted time trying out different fonts and colors because you wanted to find the “perfect look” for your document? You select a font, font color, or size but the option you select turns out not to be what you want, so you undo and try again, and again, and again until you find what you want. Now you can see a live preview of your choice before you make a selection. To use live preview, rest the mouse pointer on an option. Your document will change to show you what that option would look like BEFORE you actually choose the option.

12. Adding Text To enter text, just start typing! It is that easy…. Word inserts the text you type at the insertion point. If you press a wrong key, use the Delete Key to erase the mistake. Word automatically starts a new line when you reach the end of the current line. This is called “word wrap”. Do not press Enter at the end of a line. Press Enter only at the end of paragraphs.
