During this class on Microsoft Word, we explore the basics of navigating the program and creating documents with ease.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps:

Familiarize yourself with the Ribbon, which is the bar across the top of the screen containing various commands and options. When the Home tab is activated, the Ribbon displays commonly used functions such as copy, cut, paste, font styles, margins, bullets, and pre-formed styles.
To create a document, open Microsoft Word, select a layout type, choose your desired font and size, and begin typing your content. Utilize the Ribbon to format text, adjust margins, and apply styles to enhance the appearance of your document.
