 Lesson – 1
GETTING STARTED
SCREEN LAYOUT

Menus

When you begin to explore Word 2007 you will notice a new look to
the menu bar. There are three features that you should remember as you
work within Word 2007: the Microsoft Office Button, the Quick Access
Toolbar, and the Ribbon. These three features contain many of the
functions that were in the menu of previous versions of Word. The functions
of these three features will be more fully explored below.

1
The Microsoft Office Button

The Microsoft Office button allows you to create a new document,

open an existing document, save or save as, print, send (through
email or fax), publish or close.

The Ribbon

 The Ribbon is the panel at the top portion of the document.
It has seven tabs: Home, Insert, Page Layout, References,
Mailings, Review, and View that contain many new and existing
features of Word.
Each tab is divided into groups. The groups are logical
collections of features designed to perform functions that you will
utilize in developing or editing your Word document. Commonly
used features are displayed on the Ribbon, to view additional
features within each group, click on the arrow at the bottom right
of each group.
