I have a new HP Pavilion with Word 2007. Can you tell me where I can find
information on navigating the tool bar? For example, I need to know how to
set & save font style and font size, and how to enlarge print size on the
document that I am reading without affecting or changing the font size.
There are other
concerns as well. So I need to learn about the tool bar.

A good place to start is to press F1 (or click the little blue circle with
question mark in the upper right corner), type "get started" in the search box,
and press Enter. The first entry, "Download 'get started' training for Office
2007", gives you a link to an add-in full of pointers to articles and videos.

Your questions are about some of the most basic of operations. Everything about
changing fonts directly is in the Font group on the Home tab of the ribbon (the
formal name of what you called the tool bar). Most of it is also in the
'minibar' that pops up when you hover over selected text. Once you learn about
that, you may want to find out about styles -- look them up in the help, and
also see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/conc...les/index.html and
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ApplyAStyle.html.

Your other example involves changing the zoom setting. That isn't on the ribbon,
rather it's the slider in the lower right corner of the Word window.
