Exploring Microsoft word

Last class we were asked to go and explore Microsoft word. We had to find 10 things on word that we have no idea how it works. We have to write it down in our blogs, but also explain how it works. Now this class, we have time to work on this assignment and find 10 things.

Here are the 10 things that i have no idea how it works.

1. Do not distribute:(File-permission-do not distribute) What this icon does is that it helps prevent sensitive documents and e-mail messages from being forwarded, edited or copied by unauthorized people. If you want to use this icon, you need to install the Windows Rights Management client.
2. Clear contents: (Edit-clear-contents) What this icon does is that if you highlight something, and you go to clear contents, then it will erase what you highlighted.
3. Select all: (Edit-select all) What this icons does is that if you want your whole document to be highlighted, you can go to select all and it will highlight your whole document.
4. Find: (Edit- find) What this icon does is that you can type something in it, a word or phrase or something and it will automatically find it for you and highlight it.
5. Replace: (edit-Replace) What this icon does is that you can chose a writing or number or something on your document and you can chose to replace it by something else. You type in what you want to replace, it will find it for you and then you can replace it with whatever you want.
6. Go To: (Edit-go to) What this icon does is that, if you have a number of pages, it will find the page your looking for and then you can replace that page or the writing on it to whatever you want.
7. Reading layout: (View-reading layout) What this icon does is that it will change your pages to look like a book.
8. Format painter: (2007 document) What this icon does is that it copies formatting from one place to another. So if you double-click on the icon, you can then choose which places on your document you can highlight and make the same.
9. Bookmark: (2007 document) Once you click this icon, it will create a bookmark on a certain page that you want, or a place on a page that you chose, and then you can jump back and forth between each page, because the bookmarked pages are hyperlinked.
10. Breaks(2007 document) If you choose this icon, it will automatically create a space between your text, graphs, page or anything else that you have on the page.

Here are just 10 interesting icons on Microsoft word that I did not know about. I'm sure that there is plenty more to learn about Microsoft word, so I'm looking forwards to it.

That's everything,

-Peggy.
