1.7. OPENING MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS


We'll shortly add an address to the top of our Library Complaint letter. Before we do that, we'll learn how to open a file. After all, you might have closed Microsoft Word, or your computer might have crashed. The result being that you no longer have your library letter loaded into Word. So, here's how to open a file you have saved, and want to work on again.

In Word 2021, click the File tab in the top left of Microsoft Word:

In all Word versions, the Open dialogue box appears, and looks like the image below:



The Open dialogue box looks very similar to the Save As dialogue box. Notice, though, that the File name text box is blank. If you can't see your document in the Documents Library section, you can click where it says All Word Documents. You'll then see a list of file types that can be opened with Microsoft Word


This is the same list you saw with the Save As dialogue box, under Save as Type. So if you don't see your file displayed, remember to display this list.

But the File Name text box is empty because no file has been selected. A file is selected from the larger white area in the middle. Clicking on the file once with the left-hand mouse button will select a file.



After selecting the document, you want to open in the dialogue box then click open.

1.10. PREVIEWING AND PRINTING A DOCUMENT

Image
  When you are ready to print a document, you can click the File tab above, point to Print, and then click Print. Word then uses your computer’s default printer and the settings specified in the Print dialog box. To use a different printer or change the print settings, you click the File tab, and then click Print to open the Print dialog box. You can then specify which printer to use, what to print, and how many copies, and you can make other changes to the settings. Before you print a document, you almost always want to check how it will look on paper by previewing it. Previewing is essential for multi-page documents but is helpful even for one-page documents. To preview a document, you click the File tab, point to Print, and then click Print Preview. This view shows exactly how each page of the document will look when printed. Word displays a Print Preview tab on the Ribbon to provide tools for checking each page and adjusting if you don’t like what you see. By using the buttons

1.9. SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECKING-MICROSOFT WORD AUTOCORRECT

Image
One interesting option is AutoCorrect. Click the button at the top of the Proofing dialogue box that says AutoCorrect Options. You'll see this dialogue box: On the AutoCorrect tab, you can see a lot of inbuilt options have been checked. So, Word will, for example, automatically capitalize days of the weeks for you as soon as you press the space bar on your keyboard. The area at the bottom, "Replace text as you type", has also been checked. What this means is that if you were to type a colon followed by a left round bracket Word will change the two characters into a smiley face. If you don't want Word doing this, select that option from the list. Then click the Delete button. However, you can use the Replace feature to your advantage. If, for example, you didn't want to keep typing your full name all the time, you can type say two characters into the Replace box. In the With  box, type your name, as in the image below: After you click the Add button, your text
