Fundamentals of Information Technology CT-174 Lab Session 04 OBJECT Learning basics of Microsoft Word WORD PROCESSING CONCEPTS Microsoft Word is designed to be user friendly. So, the MS Word often has more than one way to achieve much the same thing. To start a document, type the first few paragraphs of text. Don't worry yet about formatting or fonts or making text bold. Obviously the text we have on the screen so far isn't what we have in mind for a nicely formatted document. We need to make the Title and the Headings large and bold. And, we need space after the paragraphs. We need colors, pictures, diagrams etc. in a nicely formatted document. To achieve that, you can use formatting options discussed below. Case Changing To change case, select the text whose case to be changed; Press Shift+F3 to change the case. Each time F3 is pressed the user will toggle through three options: UPPERCASE, lowercase, and Title Case. Indentation To indent both the left and right sides of the paragraph, position the insertion point in the paragraph to be indented, or select multiple paragraphs to indent; Choose Page Layout, type or select a value in the Left and then the Right indentation text boxes. You can also increase or decrease the indentation by clicking on the up and down arrows beside the text boxes. Text Alignment Word automatically aligns text on the left margin (horizontal alignment) and to the top margin (vertical alignment). The user can choose to change the alignment to center, right, full justified, or back to left. To change horizontal alignment, select the paragraph(s) to be changed; Press Ctrl+L (Left), Ctrl+E (Center), Ctrl+R (Right), or Ctrl+J (Justify) to change the alignment of the paragraph accordingly (or use the Align Left, Center, Align Right, or Justify buttons on the Standard toolbar). To change vertical alignment, move the insertion point inside the section where the text is to be aligned; Choose Page Layout, Align. Select Center, Justify, or Top to change alignment. 25
