MS WORD 2016:Document views and zooming

Document views and zooming

Word has a variety of viewing options that change how your document is displayed. You can choose to view your document in Read ModePrint Layout, or Web Layout. These views can be useful for various tasks, especially if you're planning to print the document. You can also zoom in and out to make your document easier to read.

Switching document views

Switching between different document views is easy. Just locate and select the desired document view command in the bottom-right corner of the Word window.
  • Read Mode: This view opens the document to a full screen. This view is great for reading large amounts of text or simply reviewing your work.

  • Print Layout: This is the default document view in Word. It shows what the document will look like on the printed page.

  • Web Layout: This view displays the document as a webpage, which can be helpful if you're using Word to publish content online.

Zooming in and out

To zoom in or out, click and drag the zoom control slider in the bottom-right corner of the Word window. You can also select the + or - commands to zoom in or out by smaller increments. The number next to the slider displays the current zoom percentage, also called the zoom level.

    MS WORD 2016:Working with the Word environment

    Working with the Word environment

    Like other recent versions, Word 2016 continues to use features like the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar—where you will find commands to perform common tasks in Word—as well as Backstage view

    The Ribbon

    Word uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus. The Ribboncontains multiple tabs, which you can find near the top of the Word window.
    tabs on the Ribbon
    Each tab contains several groups of related commands. For example, the Font group on the Home tab contains commands for formatting text in your document.

    Some groups also have a small arrow in the bottom-right corner that you can click for even more options.
    clicking the arrow to see more group commands

    Showing and hiding the Ribbon

    If you you find that the Ribbon takes up too much screen space, you can hide it. To do this, click the Ribbon Display Options arrow in the upper-right corner of the Ribbon, then select the desired option from the drop-down menu:
    hiding the Ribbon
    • Auto-hide Ribbon: Auto-hide displays your document in full-screen mode and completely hides the Ribbon from view. To show the Ribbon, click the Expand Ribbon command at the top of screen.
    • Show Tabs: This option hides all command groups when they're not in use, but tabs will remain visible. To show the Ribbon, simply click a tab.
    • Show Tabs and Commands: This option maximizes the Ribbon. All of the tabs and commands will be visible. This option is selected by default when you open Word for the first time.
    To learn how to add custom tabs and commands to the Ribbon, review our Extra on Customizing the Ribbon.

    Using the Tell me feature

    If you're having trouble finding command you want, the Tell Me feature can help. It works just like a regular search bar: Type what you're looking for, and a list of options will appear. You can then use the command directly from the menu without having to find it on the Ribbon.

    Microsoft Word 2016:Introduction

    Introduction

    Microsoft Word 2016 is a word processing application that allows you to create a variety of documents, including letters, resumes, and more. In this lesson, you'll learn how to navigate the Word interface and become familiar with some of its most important features, such as the RibbonQuick Access Toolbar, and Backstage view.
    Watch the video below to become more familiar with Word 2016.

    Getting to know Word 2016

    Word 2016 is similar to Word 2013 and Word 2010. If you've previously used either version, then Word 2016 should feel familiar. But if you are new to Word or have more experience with older versions, you should first take some time to become familiar with the Word 2016 interface.

    The Word interface

    When you open Word for the first time, the Start Screen will appear. From here, you'll be able to create a new document, choose a template, and access your recently edited documents. From the Start Screen, locate and select Blank document to access the Word interface.

    MS ACCESS 2003:Challenge!

    Challenge!

    Let's imagine that you're going to start your own home business. You will need to prepare a database for your business, and the first step is to design a table that will contain a list of contacts who may one day be your clients or suppliers.
    Let's assume that a database table called Business Contacts contains all of the fields listed in the first column of the following chart. The chart also contains four other columns:
    • Text, Numbers, or Both: Should the field accept data entry input in the form of text, numbers, or both?
    • Field Size: Tis is the number of spaces you think the field should have.
    • Required Entry: Should the field be required entry (the record cannot be added to the database without the information) or optional entry (a record can be added without entry in the field)?
    • Allow Duplicates: Should the database allow duplicate entries for the field (for example, can several people in the database share the same zip code)?
    Practice designing fields by filling out the following table.
