Thanks, This helps get me started in the right direction. Since we are
restrained to formats dictated by the General Staff, templates are the way to
go. Thanks, again. Payato

Lest you read some conflict between my answer and that provided by Suzanne
Barnhill, I agree with what she is saying. You need to understand templates
and styles. If you create useful templates for your users, they do not need
as broad an understanding of Word as you will need in constructing those
templates.

Some basics to teach your users:
Format using styles - not using the Bold, Italic, numbering, etc. buttons on
the toolbars.
If you are going to repeat a document type, construct a template and use
that for new documents, not a copy of an old document.
Never use the toobar numbering or bullet buttons for anything that will be
edited or used by someone else!
Make frequent document saves and backups.

Look particularly at the section in Shauna Kelly's site on outline
numbering. I have a feeling you and your students/users will be needing this
section a lot. The method shown on that site is the only reliable way to
produce outline numbering.

I am writing a Standard Operationg Procedure (SOP) for utilizing MS Word.
Basically it is a checklist or cheat sheet. I know the subject is broad,
that is the way we usually receive our task until we provide a product
then
we are clearer guidance.
This is the basic components we work with on a daily basis:
PARTS:
1. Creating and Editing Documents
2. Proofreading Documents
3. Formatting and Printing Documents
4. Advanced Formatting
USES:
1. enables you to save a Word document in HTML format

You're an instructor? I don't think you'll get much help here unless you
can
define the question better. "Basic components" is pretty broad. Are you
talking about applets such as Microsoft Graph, WordArt, Equation Editor?
Or
components of a document such as paragraphs and sections? Or features of
Word? Word commands?

Actually it is not homework. i am in the military and trying to
complete a
lesson plan on MS Word utilization. There are several examples but all
are
different. I was hoping to get a consensus here or someone point me in
the
riht direction. Payato

This sounds like a homework question. We don't do those.

I know this is a generic question, but I can not seem to find the
answer
in
one place. It is a vague question but I am looking for the basic
conponents
of MS Word ad their applications? Thanks Payato
