When you click the Office Button, Commands related to managing Word and Word documents are gathered together on this menu.
Lecture 1: MSWord
The Title bar displays the name of the active document. At the right end of the title bar are the three familiar buttons - Minimize, Restore and Close buttons. Below the title bar is the Ribbon, which makes all the capabilities of Word available in a single area so that you can work efficiently with the program.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Across the bottom of the program window, the Status bar gives you information about the current document. At the right end of the status bar is the View toolbar, which provides tools for adjusting the view of document content.

The Word 2007 Ribbon is a bar across the top of the window that contains tabbed pages of commands and icons/buttons. It replaces the previous versions menu bar and drop down menus.
Lecture 1: MSWord
The ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. The ribbon is divided into Seven tabs by default, and each tab is a selection of groups that show related items together. Command buttons in each group carry out a command or display a menu of commands.
Lecture 1: MSWord
As you can see, similar commands are grouped together making the ribbon very task oriented. The more popular commands are available directly on each tab;
you can directly access the command by clicking on the command icons/buttons.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Ribbon:
The whole bar, including all of the tabs.
Tab:
A tabbed page of the Ribbon such as Home, Insert, etc. Every tab contains several groups and every group has it own command icons.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Group:
A section of a tab. For example, the Home tab has the following groups: Clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles, and Editing.
Lecture 1: MSWord
We can minimize the Ribbon to make more space available on your screen. To minimize the Ribbon
Click Customize Quick Access Toolbar
Lecture 1: MSWord
From the drop-down menu, click Minimize the Ribbon. To use the Ribbon while it is minimized, click the tab you want to use, and then click the option or command you want to use.

A drop cap is the first letter of a report, article, chapter, or story that appears in a larger than normal and more interesting font than the other characters.
So it occupies several lines of the paragraph.
Drop caps can be used to add style to a document and draw attention to something in the document. Maybe you are not aware that you seems the drop cap before, just you don't know that it's a drop cap.

Word 2007 Styles: How and Why to Apply Styles in Your Document?"
In another term, it is a way to give a name to a group of formatting attributes such as font formatting (color, size, etc), paragraph formatting (alignment, spacing, etc).
Microsoft Word 2007 allows you to create your own Word styles and also come with a number of built-in styles.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Among the most important built-in styles are the standard heading styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc. For example, you might use Title Heading for chapter titles, Heading 1 for section headings, Heading 2 for the sub-headings, etc. Once you have defined a style, you can quickly and easily format text simply by applying the style without the need to apply text formatting individually.
Office Management Tool-I
Institute of Management Sciences
Lecture 1: MSWord
Styles can save a lot of time and help insure consistency in your documents. With the headings styles, Word can automatically create a table of contents (TOC), and you also can use headings to define cross-references.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Here we show you how to use styles to create a TOC later. These styles are on the Home tab, in the Styles group.
Lecture 1: MSWord
To see more styles, click the More icon in the Styles group and you can choose any intended style.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Lecture 1: MSWord
Note: For each chapter title and heading, you need to apply the style. The heading styles and the TOC work together as Word designate Heading 1 titles to the highest level in the TOC; Heading 2 corresponds to the next highest level; and Heading 3 is the following level.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Sometime you may need to adjust the horizontal size or width of characters in your document. Actually, Word provides you a way to do so and the scaling can be applied to any characters in a selection. The tool is available in the Font dialog box Character Spacing tab.

Word 2007 Themes: How to Assign a Theme, Changing the Theme Color, Font and Graphic Effects To Your Documents?"
Lecture 1: MSWord
Colors:
Each theme consists of a set of four colors for text and background, six colors for accents, and two colors for hyperlinks.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Fonts:
Two fonts are chosen as part of the theme - one for the heading font use for headings and a second for the body font used for general text entry. The default fonts used in Word for a new document are Calibri for body text and Cambria for headings
Lecture 1: MSWord
Design effects:
These effects are applied to any graphics, pictures, charts or design elements in your document.
The effects can include lines (borders), fills, and effects such as 3D, shading, gradation, drop-shadows, and other design subtleties.

Word 2007 Header and Footer Feature - How to Add, Edit or Delete it?"
Word 2007 header and footer are parts of a document that contain information such as page numbers, dates, the document title, and so on. The header appears at the top of every page, and the footer appears at the bottom of every page. The good thing about creating your document header or footer is that you just need to create it once and it will appear on every page of the entire document.

To Draw a Table
Click the Insert tab of the Ribbon.
In the Table group, click the Table icon. Word displays a drop-down list. Click on Draw Table from the list of options. Word changes to Print Layout view (if you are not already in that view) and changes the mouse pointer so it looks like a pencil.

How to Create Table in Word 2007 That Has Specific Column Widths?"
If you want a ten-column table with the first two columns a certain width, and the rest of the columns sharing the remaining horizontal space? Here's an easy way to define that table setup.
All you need to do is set the wider columns, and then use the Split Cells option to create the rest.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Lecture 1: MSWord
Use the mouse to adjust the width of the first two columns, making the column widths as wide as you need. Place the insertion point in the third column of the table.
Lecture 1: MSWord
From the Table Tools Layout tab, in the Merge group, click the Split Cells icon. From the Split Cells dialog box displayed, in the Number of columns control box, specify that you want the cell split into 8 columns. Click OK.
Lecture 1: MSWord
To create more rows just like it, select the row and then choose to insert additional rows above the selected row.
After you insert the first row, just press F4 repeatedly until you have created the number of desired rows.
Lecture 1: MSWord
After you create a table, you can type text or numbers into cells and press the Tab key to move the insertion point from cell to cell. Pressing Tab when the insertion point is in the last cell in the last row adds a new row to the bottom of the table. In addition to the Tab key, you can use the Arrow keys (up, down, left and right) to position the insertion point, or you can simply click any cell.

Adding a TOC to your document is simple if you have included styles (either build-in style such as Heading 1, Heading 2, etc or custom styles)
Many people try to create a table of contents manually, without using the built-in process in Microsoft Word.
It's not easy and the spacing never comes out quite right, does it?

Lecture 1: MSWord
This tutorial demonstrates how to create a TOC. There are two steps you take to create a TOC:

After the heading styles are applied, it's time to collect them all together in the TOC. This is where Word does the work for you.

Lecture 1: MSWord
Note: If you want to change TOC 2 (Level 2) or TOC 3 (Level 3) to be blue also, you would do the same procedure selecting TOC 2 or TOC 3 in the Style dialog box before proceeding to the Modify Style dialog box.
The TOC is automatically updated whenever you open the document; but it's a good idea to also update it whenever you add more titles or headings in your document or when you add more content that may affect the page numbers that appear in the TOC.
Lecture 1: MSWord
Lecture 1: MSWord
Update page numbers only: If you've added body text but no new headings (this option is faster). Update entire table: If you have added or changed a chapter title or heading.
Note: Avoid editing entries in the TOC itself; if you ever update the TOC you will lose those changes. To change text that appears in the TOC, be sure to edit this text in the body of the document and then click Update Table to compile the changes.
