The Parts and Appearance of Microsoft

Word and their Functions 

en.dutormasi.com – The program in this Microsoft Word application is one of the
most widely used and in-demand word processing applications in the world. Because it
has many features with a display that is very easy to use (user friendly). So users can
operate it easily.

Previously, we have known the definition of Microsoft Word in other articles; and of

course, we also have to know the parts of Microsoft Word. So that we can operate the
application and learn MS Word quickly, this time, dutormasi will use the Microsoft
Word 2019 view. However, the parts of this display will not be much different from
Word 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016.

These following is the appearance and parts of Microsoft Word and their
functions:

1. Quick Access Toolbar

Quick access toolbar can be found or in the upper left corner of the window. This
toolbar has three icons: the button saves, Undo & Redo, and Customize Quick Access
Toolbar.

Quick access toolbar functions:

 Save, to save any changes made to the document file.

 Undo, to undo or restore the last changes to the document file. You can see an
arrow button pointing down to see a list of each file change made.
  Redo to return the cancellation if we have made changes to the last document
file.
 Customize Quick Access Toolbar to customize, or we are free to adjust the
buttons on the quick access toolbar according to the user’s needs.

2. Title Bar

The title bar is the part of Microsoft Word in the middle of the top application when MS
Word is opened. The title bar serves to display the document’s name and the type of
document that is currently open or active at the top of the application window. If we
open a new file and it has not been named, the document is
by default  named Document1, Document2, and so on.

And not only that but the other title bar functions can also be used to move
applications as a whole by drag and drop using the mouse.

3. Window Management (Window Control)

Window Management can be seen in the upper right corner of the window and
consists of 4 buttons. The functions of each of these buttons include:

 Close, used to close the MS Word window.

 Restore Down, used to minimize the window.
 Maximize, used to display and enlarge the window in full.
 Minimize, used to minimize the word window and become an active icon on the
taskbar.
 Ribbon Display Options used to show or hide the ribbon toolbar show that we
can adjust the settings.

Ohh yeah, if the MS Word window is the normal size, the restore button will change to
the button Maximize, and vice versa.

4. Ribbon

The ribbon is a collection of menu bars that have command buttons in MS Word and
have been grouped in such a way based on their respective functions to make it easier
for users. The function of this ribbon is to group features from MS Word, which are
then displayed regularly for easy access.

Inside the ribbon, there are several other sections, namely:

  Menu bar, the menu bar is the main that is displayed horizontally below the title
bar. The function of this menu bar is to group menus based on their use. The
menu in Microsoft Word, by default,  consists of 10 menus. Among them are the
Home menu, Insert, Design, Layout, References, Mailings, Review, View, and
Help.
 Dialog box opening button, several menu commands have this dialog box
opening button. Click on the switch so that a dialog box will appear related to
the menu command.

5. Ruler

Ruler is a measuring feature on the page that functions to adjust the page’s layout,
both text, and objects (images, tables, and so on). By taking advantage of this feature,
we can easily find out and adjust page boundaries, tabulations, the distance between
the text and the edge of the page, and other objects.

The location itself is usually located at the top of the page, just below the ribbon. But
apart from that, we can also display the ruler on the side of the MS Word page.

6. Worksheet

If we open a new document and see a sheet of white pages, it is a Worksheet.

Worksheets are also known as worksheets, workspaces, or text areas in Microsoft
Word. A worksheet can be likened to a canvas. This section is where to type, edit, add
images, and do other work according to our needs.

7. Cursor

Before we write on a new MS Word document, we will see a blinking vertical line. It is
located at the top left of the worksheet. This cursor serves to indicate the typing
position or the interaction position with the current screen. When we type something,
the text will appear at the location of the course.

We can move our cursor by dragging the mouse wherever we want. For example, to
edit the text that we have written.

8. Status Bar 

the status bar is located at the bottom left of the MS Word window. The function of the
status bar is to display information in real-time about the command that is currently
active on the currently opened document. The information includes:

 Page … of …, shows the total number of pages currently being displayed and on
the page in the form of (cursor), you are active.
 … Words shows the number of words in the document.
 English (United States), which is the language used in MS Word as well as word
spelling (spelling) of the typed text.

9. Page View

This part of the window is located in the lower right corner of MS Word. It is scattered
and next to the status bar. By default, the  view that appears on our screen is the print
layout view. You can see in the picture that the print layout view is active.

On the Page View toolbar, there are five kinds of display options that we can choose
according to the needs we want. Each has its function for its use. Here are more details
what the differences between each display in MS Word are:

 Read Mode; this mode displays the document pages into one view; there are 2
pages side by side like a bound book.
 Print Layout, this mode serves to show the actual size of the document and
display the page layout. So that it can make it easier for users when the
document wants to be printed ( printed).
 Web Layout, this mode serves to display document pages like the appearance
on a website. By clicking on this, the document page will appear to expand if you
select this view.
 Slider zoom in & zoom out to adjust the zoom in or out of the document page
view by dragging left to zoom out (or by clicking the button +) while dragging to
the right zoom in (or click the button –).

Microsoft PowerPoint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program,[7] created by Robert Gaskins and

Dennis Austin[7] at a software company named Forethought, Inc.[7] It was released on
April 20, 1987,[8] initially for Macintosh computers only.[7] Microsoft acquired PowerPoint
for about $14 million three months after it appeared.[9] This was Microsoft's first
significant acquisition,[10] and Microsoft set up a new business unit for PowerPoint
in Silicon Valley where Forethought had been located.[10]
Parts of the MS PowerPoint Window

The opening screen of Microsoft PowerPoint is a blank, white and gray wall called the presentation
window. In this window, you will find several areas and panes through which you can design an
engaging slide show for any business presentation. Once you get started using PowerPoint, you
will find it easy to color the gray presentation walls with some text, graphics and media.
Blank Presentation Slide Pane
When PowerPoint starts, the largest window pane in the middle-right is the blank presentation
slide. This represents your first presentation slide or slide pane also called the title slide. You can
click to add a title and a subtitle to your presentation. The slide pane is the area your audience
sees.
Slides/Outline Pane
To the left of the main Slide Pane is the Slides/Outline Pane. The Slides/Outline Pane allows you
to see all of your presentation slides or an outline of your presentation. Switch back and forth
between the views by clicking on the tabs at the top of the pane. You can click through the
presentation by selecting individual slides or outline sections. Close this pane to give yourself
more space by clicking on the X at the top of the pane window. To get it back, use your mouse to
drag it from the far left side of the screen.
Status Bar
Underneath the Slide and Slides/Outline panes rests the gray Status Bar. In the left corner, you
can see which slide you are currently working on. The right corner has the Slide View buttons and
the zoom control. By clicking on the Slide View buttons, you can see your presentation in Normal
View, Slide Sorter View or Presentation View. The Slide Sorter is useful for moving slides around
while the Slide Show View allows you to see what your presentation would look like full screen, as
if you were presenting to an audience. Once in Slide Show mode, press "ESC" to return to the
main window.
Notes Pane
Above the Status Bar is the Notes Pane area. This area is used for your speaking notes about a
slide. The audience does not see these notes, but you can print them out as well. The Notes Pane
area disappears if you close the Slides/Outline Pane. To get it back, use your mouse to drag it
from the bottom of the screen.
The Ribbon
Tools and commands for PowerPoint are located in the Ribbon. The Ribbon lies above the Blank
Presentation Slide and Slides/Outline Panes and contains tabs to move between various
PowerPoint tools and commands. The most frequently used commands, like adding a new slide or
using different fonts, are found on the Home tab. To change the design of your slide show, click on
the "Design" tab. To save your presentation, click on the "File" tab.
Title Bar and Quick Access Tools
Above the Ribbon, you will see the title of your presentation in the center of the gray title bar. To
the left of the title, you will see a set of buttons called Quick Access tools. This little toolbar can be
customized to hold the commands you use the most like Save, Undo and Redo.
