Microsoft Word
Word processing software
it is used to manipulate a text document, such as a resume or a report. You typically enter text
by typing, and the software provides tools for copying, deleting and various types of formatting.
Examples: Ms-Word, Word Perfect etc.
Features of MS-Word
 Creating, editing, saving and printing documents.
 Copying, pasting, moving and deleting text within a document.
 Formatting text, such as font type, bolding, underlining or italicizing.
 Creating and editing tables.
 Inserting elements from other software, such as illustrations or photographs.
 Correcting spelling and grammar.

Information on MS-Word
 Sometimes called Winword, MS Word, or Word,
 Microsoft Word is a word processor published by Microsoft.
 It is one of the office productivity applications included in Microsoft Office.
 it was first released in 1983.
 Early versions of Microsoft Word primarily created and used the .doc file extension,
while newer versions of Word create and use the .docx file extension.

What is Microsoft Word used for?

Microsoft Word allows you to create professional-quality documents, reports, letters, and
résumés.
Unlike a plain text editor, Microsoft Word has features including spell check, grammar check,
text and font formatting, image support, advanced page layout etc.

Features of Ms-Word
1) CHECKING SPELLING: You can correct your spelling errors all in one go, to ensure you
haven’t left any stone unturned. This can be done by running a full Word spell check
NRB 4 IT Shyam Gopal Timsina

from the Review tab, Proofing group, Spelling and Grammar button (or press the F7
keyboard shortcut).
2) UTILISING THE BENEFITS OF MAIL MERGE: This feature allows us to send out bulk
emails, but consequently with unique elements. For example, we could produce a series
of labels or envelopes for a large mailing, an email or letter that includes names and
addresses and other details or a ‘directory’.

Steps for Mail Merge

Prepare Your Data Source: Your data source could be an Excel spreadsheet, Access
database, Outlook contacts, or even a Word document. Ensure that your data is
organized with the necessary fields (such as name, address, etc.) and that it's in a
compatible format for Word.

Open Microsoft Word: Launch Microsoft Word on your computer.

Create or Open Your Document: Start with a blank document or open the document you
want to use for your mail merge. This document will serve as the template for your
merged documents.

Access the Mail Merge Wizard: Navigate to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon at the top of
the Word window. Click on "Start Mail Merge" and then select the type of document
you want to create (e.g., letters, envelopes, labels).

Select Recipients: Click on "Select Recipients" and choose your data source. Follow the
prompts to locate and select your data file. If your data source is an Excel spreadsheet,
for example, you'll need to navigate to the spreadsheet file and select the worksheet
containing your data.

Insert Merge Fields: Place your cursor where you want to insert a merge field (e.g.,
recipient's name, address). Then click on "Insert Merge Field" and select the field you
want to insert from your data source. Repeat this process for each merge field you want
to include in your document.

Preview Your Letters: Click on "Preview Results" to see how your merged documents
will look with the data from your selected data source. You can use the navigation
buttons to scroll through the records and make sure everything looks correct.

Complete the Merge: Once you're satisfied with the preview, click on "Finish & Merge"
to complete the merge. You'll have options to either print the merged documents
directly, edit individual documents, or save them as a new document.
NRB 4 IT Shyam Gopal Timsina

Print or Save Merged Documents: Depending on your preference, you can either print
the merged documents directly from Word or save them as a new document for future
use.

3) FIND & REPLACE – Save precious time with this effective Word feature. Word Replace can
search for all occurrences of a particular word, phrase or set of characters and replace them
with an alternative. You will be given the option to replace all occurrences or to move through
them individually, accepting or rejecting each change.
4) INSERTING WATERMARKS – If you’re sending an important document or draft sample, you
want to be able to protect your content without having to edit much of it. Insert a watermark
specific to your objectives via the page layout button. You can also customise your own
watermark, and also insert your own picture. This is great to insert your brand logo, for reports
your business may produce or any other document.

5) INSERTING YOUR HEADER & FOOTER – It’s important to use the space in your header and
footer to save space in other areas of your document. This also makes your file have a
professional look that can include the page numbers across the whole document for example.
However, what people don’t seem to take advantage of, is the fact that they can insert images,
more specifically a company logo or an image in context with the document's overall theme.

6) USING HYPERLINKS STRATEGICALLY – One of the best ways to give your Word document that
extra cutting edge is to insert hyperlinks on images and text to make your document interactive
(by right clicking on the text/image and clicking hyperlink, you can then select where you wish
to direct the user to) where possible. A great way to further utilise this tool, is to direct users to
another article or web page that has your digital footprint all over.

7) Macro: In Word, you can automate frequently used tasks by creating and running macros. A
macro is a series of commands and instructions that you group together as a single command
to accomplish a task automatically. (alt+F8)
