What are the Parts (components) and uses (applications) of Word
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 -- "Better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for who you are not" |

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

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.

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? -- Suzanne S.

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.

1. Word is a very poor HTML editor. Don't use it for this.

You might want to look at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart2.htm, which would give you some ideas. Browsing around that site generally might give you others. If you're trying to teach complete novices to use Word, then you could point them to http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/conc...ion/index.html, but the strongest weapon in your arsenal will be well-crafted templates that make it easy for these users to do what you want them to do; that is, the templates should have customized toolbars and menus that make it easy for them to access the styles and features you want them to use and less easy to use direct formatting and other less desirable features. -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

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.
