MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD INTERFACE

*******************************************************************

The Ribbon Microsoft Word 2010 has a large selection of formatting tools and options available for you to use. Formatting is related to the way that the characters and words that you type are arranged on the printed document. Most of these formatting options are found along the top of the window, or the “Ribbon” as Microsoft calls it. This is the Ribbon. It is currently set to the “Home” tab. On the “Home” tab, each of the buttons and drop down 

menus affects the formatting of your typed characters and words, in someway.

Home Tab

Clipboard

                  This is the clipboard area of the Ribbon. These tools and buttons are useful when copying and pasting characters and words from other places. For instance, I can copy some characters and text from an Internet web site and paste it into this document using these tools and buttons. The following section has been copied from the Wikipedia article on Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office is a proprietary commercial office suite of inter-related desktop applications, servers and services for the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, introduced by Microsoft in 1989. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand. According to Forrester Research, as of June 2009, some version of Microsoft Office is used in 80% of enterprises, with 64% of enterprises using Office 2007.
