Microsoft Office is paid program... If you have Microsoft Office installed on your computer, it will be easier for you. If not, there are some pretty good alternative free packages. In terms of functionality, they are very close to the Microsoft Office package, and often even in appearance, it is difficult to distinguish the interface of these programs. These are Apache OpenOffice and WPS Office packages. At the end of this tutorial, I'll show you how to download and install one of these packages.

Starting Microsoft Word

To start the Microsoft Word program, click the "Start" button, then "All Programs", "Microsoft Office", "Microsoft Word".

A blank page of a new document opens. Depending on the version of the package, there will be a difference in the interface, but the main points that we will consider will be present everywhere. I will use Microsoft Office 10 as an example.

At the top we see a tabbed menu with many items. Simply describing them will do little. Therefore, we will type text and get acquainted with them in the process. For example, we want to type a statement. Some points will be artificial, but this is solely in order to show the capabilities of the package.

Fig. 1 To enlarge - left-click, return back - click again

First, let's choose a font. When we move the cursor over the icon on the menu ribbon and hold it, a hint about the purpose of the icon appears. The frame in Fig. 1, number 1, shows the area where the font is selected. Where is the number 2, click on the triangle, the font selection menu opens. Number 3 - font - "Times New Roman".

Let's choose the font size. The frame in Fig. 2, number 1, shows the area where the font size is selected. Also where the number 2, click on the triangle, the font size menu opens. Number 3 - size 14.

The frame in Fig. 3 marks the text alignment area. It has 4 options.

1. Align text to the left;
2. Align Center;
3. Align text to the right;
4. Align Width.

Click item 3 - "Align text to the right".

We start to recruit. After typing "Head of office" press the "Enter" key. The cursor moves to next line, we continue to type. After we have typed "To" and "From whom" press "Enter" and in the text alignment area click on the 2 icon - "Align Center". We type "Statement" - again "Enter", in the alignment area - item 4 "Align to width" - "Enter".

We start to write a paragraph, press the "Tab" key to indent. We begin to write the text. Do not press the "Enter" key within the paragraph; as you type the text, it is evenly distributed across the width, aligning both on the left and right edges, adding additional spacing between words.

Press "Enter" for the next paragraph, or as in our example to insert a table.

To insert a table in Fig. 4 - click on the "Insert" tab, select the "Table" item, click the arrow below, the table template opens. With the mouse, move from the upper left corner to the right, thereby choosing the number of columns, lower it down, select the number of rows, in our case 4. A table appears on the sheet. The number of selected rows is not critical, if we did not have enough of them, we can easily add in the process of filling the table. Just standing in the lower right cell of the table, press the Tab key and a new row will be added.

When we created the table, all columns are the same width. In order to change the width of the column, move the cursor to the dividing line in Fig. 5, when it takes the form of two dashes with arrows to the right and left, press left button mouse and move the line in the right direction, bring it to the place we need and release the button.

To align the text in the columns, select them - with the left mouse button in Fig. 6, on the "Home" tab in the alignment section of the 1st and 3rd columns of our table, align them in the center, the 2nd to the left. We fill in the table. After filling, to exit the table, left-click under the table and continue writing.

Our application is ready. Let's check the spelling for errors. Click the tab

"Reviewing", "Spelling". If there is an error, a window opens in Fig. 9, where the error is described,

a variant of its correction is proposed. On the right in the window you can select the button "Change", "Skip", "Skip all", "Next". When the check is complete, the Spell Check Completed window appears.

If we need to print a typed document (it is assumed that we have a printer, and it is connected and configured), click on the "File", "Print" tab.

In Figure 11, number 3 shows the layout of what the page will look like. If we have typed several sheets, number 4 shows which sheet, we look and the arrows can be used to look at other sheets. Use the number 5 to select the number of copies to print. In order to send a document to the printer, press the button with the printer, figure 6 in the figure.

In order to save the selected document to a file, click on the floppy disk in the upper left corner in Fig. 12 number 1. By the way, on the tip, number 2, you can see that by pressing the key combination +, the file save dialog window also opens, Fig. 13.

The frame with the number 1 shows where the file will be saved. The arrow in frame 2 will help you select a different folder. Box 3 is the file name suggested by the system. We can change it by naming it as it is convenient for us, after which we press the button 4 - "Save". Close the Microsoft Word program.

If we forgot to add something, we start Word again,

and no matter how long it takes to search for our document, click the "File" tab, select the "Recent" item, in the "Recent Documents" list we find the necessary one, click on it, and it opens.

Greeting card.

When creating a business document, we used a very small part of the capabilities that Microsoft Word gives us.

Let's try to create greeting card in the Word program.

Open Microsoft Word. We select fig. 15

font "Times New Roman" - (1), font size - 28 (2), bold (3), italic (4), text color (5) - press the arrow next to it - select red (6), alignment - "Align to center "(7). We write "Congratulations", press "Enter".

Click on the "Insert" tab (1) Fig. 16,

select the item "Picture" (2) and click on it. A standard file selection window opens, where we find the folder in which we previously saved beautiful picture (3). Click on it to select it and press the "Insert" key (4).

The result is in Figure 17.

Push +(to be at the end of the picture), and press .

We write "Happy birthday" ... Next is the text of the wish. If you need to change the font of any word, or change the color, select this word (how to select) and change the font or size or color, what we want. Print and save, we already know how.

As a result, we have such a postcard.

greeting card

As I promised, I will tell you how to download and install on your computer free analogue Microsoft Office, WPS Office. We follow this link. We get to the WPS Office website Fig. 18.

There are two options for downloading - paid for $ 29.99 and free "Free Download", click on this button and download the installation file. After downloading, go to the "Downloads" folder and run the file we downloaded.

The installer window (Fig. 19) opens.

Press the button "Install".

The package is being installed Fig. 20.

At the end of the installation, WPS Writer is launched, an analogue of Microsoft Word. Fig. 21.

then "Parameters (D)" (2). In the opened window Fig. 23

parameters, select the item "General and save" (1), click in the circle "New document" (2) and click "OK" (3).

Next window fig. 24

offers us three options "New blank document" (1), "Create on another template" (2), "Open" (3). Click the first item in Fig. 25 - the WPS Writer text editor window opens.

As we can see, the interface is very similar to microsoft interface Word. All those menu items and tabs with which we worked in Word are also here. We can use a free alternative to Word.

We now have three new icons on our desktop in Figure 26.

WPS Writer analogue of Microsoft Word, WPS Presentation analogue of Microsoft PowerPoint, WPS Spreadsheets analogue Microsoft Excel.

Since the programs are free, the advertisement window for the paid version (Fig. 27) opens upon launch.

The text highlighted in red (1) “You can skip ad in 5s” is translated as “You can skip the ad in 5 seconds” and the stopwatch is running. When the stopwatch has passed, Fig. 28,

there remains the inscription "Skip ad" (1) - "Skip" - click on it, the ad disappears, we can work.
