Chapter 1. The Word Workplace
Meet Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is a full-featured word processing application that you can use to create all kinds of text-based documents—letters, reports, form letters, mailing labels, envelopes, flyers, and even Web pages.
Word’s interface combines common Mac OS screen elements with buttons, commands, and controls that are specific to Word. To use Word effectively, you must have at least a basic understanding of these elements.
This chapter introduces the Word workplace by illustrating and describing the following elements:
The Word screen, including window elements.
Menus, shortcut keys, toolbars, palettes, and dialogs.
Views and document navigation techniques.
Word’s onscreen Help feature.
