More and More and More Microsoft!

Today we started a new unit. We began with a lesson of Microsoft Word, a short session on its history, and Mr. Case showed us a few things that he thought we might not know. Like:

Docking: Dragging toolbars to the
Making your own toolbar: Tools, Customize, New Menu, Drag icons
Deleting Arrows: Tools, Customize, Options, delete check mark from recently used commands first


Then, we were assigned to explore MS Word further and to type up ten things that we didn't know before. Here are the things that I found out. A couple of them, I couldn't tell you how to get there because I just clicked randomly and by the time I got the description done, I completely forgot how I got it. I tried getting it back, but then I couldn't find it.

Envelopes: You can create an envelope label by going to Tools and Envelop and Labels, and typing your address in.

Summarize: This allows you to have your jot notes picked out from a whole bunch of paragraphs automatically, or summarize the paragraphs. [Tools -) Auto Summarize -) Select your choice of summary]

Split: This allows you to split your page into two pages. but whatever you place on the first one, it shows on the other one as well. I don't really know what this is used for just yet, because the results on both pages are the same. I'll try and find out. [Window -) Split]


Text Direction: This allows you to have your text sideways, upside down, or whichever you like. [Format -) Text direction -) Select which one you like]

Header and footer: This allows you to have notes on the top of your page (mostly dates, authors, when last visited. etc.) and foot notes at the bottom. [View -) Header and Footer -) Select what you need to have on the notes]

Background: This is one way that you can put on a background that already has a special theme. [Format -) Theme -) Select your desired theme.]

Comment: This is one way to edit somebody else's work without having to print out their written piece. [Insert -) Comment -) Type up your comment on the place that you want it on.]

Sort: This allows you to group your work according to paragraphs, date, etc. [Table -) Sort -) Choose which format you like it in]

Symbol: This allows you to insert symbols such as the copyright trademark. [Insert -) Symbol -) Choose your symbol]

Paragraph Marks: This allows you to have markers on the start and end of your paragraphs. It makes things more confusing, so it's more likely that I'm not going to use it.
