Conclusion and Final Words
MS Word Home tab सबसे basic tab है जिसके बारे में लगभग सभी computer user को जानना जरुरी है| इस tab में इस्तेमाल किये गए option का इस्तेमाल लगभग अधिकांश software में available होता है और उसका same shortcut key use होता है जैसे की Bold, Italic, Underline etc.
The Home Tab – the basic workspace in a document:
Purpose
The Home Tab is about the basics of how text looks when it is printed or displayed online. It gives access to both direct and Style-based formatting. Because of the importance of Styles to using Word effectively, it devotes a great deal of space to Styles.
I suspect that many Word users seldom stray from the Home Tab. They are missing many opportunities to make Word work for them, but that is not the topic of this page. On this page I intend to examine the control groups on the Home Tab and what each of the controls does. This leads into the Font and Paragraph dialogs and the Clipboard functions of Word.
The Home Tab has its controls arranged in five (six) groups from left to right:
Group names are at the bottom of the Ribbon and groups are separated by a thin line. Most but not all groups have a dialog launcher button in the bottom right corner of the group. The Home Tab shown above is a screenshot from Word 2010. The Home tab has varied slightly through Word versions. These variations are shown at the end of this page.
Word 2019/365 has added a sixth group at the far right: Voice. It holds a Dictate button.
I do not pretend to know what every control does, especially the ones on the dialog boxes. I will tell you what I know. If I am speculating or guessing, I will try to make that clear. As I learn more, this page will be changed. This is a “work in progress.”
The Clipboard Group
The clipboard group is on the far left of the Home Tab. It is often used in conjunction with the Editing group, which is on the far right of that tab.
Paste (with options) Ctrl+V: I have been told that when Microsoft studied Word users, they discovered that the most used Command was “Paste” so when they redesigned the user interface, they decided to give this command prominence as the first button people would see. (The keyboard shortcut in most Windows programs including all versions of Word is Ctrl+V.) The Paste button is actually a drop-down menu of paste choices which is similar to the paste options you see after you paste if you use the the Ctrl+V shortcut.
Button Drop-Down – Ctrl Key Result
The first choice (brush) is to keep source formatting.
The arrow button is to merge formatting and the A is to paste the content into the destination document’s formatting.
Paste Special… brings up a dialog box that I do not pretend to understand.
Set Default Paste… let’s you decide what happens when you simply press Ctrl+V to paste. It gives far more nuanced control through the Advanced Word Options.
The Cut Button is the mouse equivalent of Ctrl+X.
It deletes content from the current location and puts it in the Clipboard.
Another way of looking at this is that it is the beginning of moving text (or graphics) from one part of a document to another (or to a different document or even program).
The second step – the new location placement is done with the Paste command or button.
The Copy Button also puts selected text or graphics into the Clipboard. It remains where it is, though. The keyboard equivalent for this is Ctrl+C.
The Format Painter (Brush) (Ctrl+Shift+C to copy formatting, Ctrl+Shift+V to paste formatting)
I strongly urge people to use Styles rather than the Format Painter. In the long run it will make your life much simpler.
Double-clicking on it allows you to paste to different areas using the mouse brush pointer.
These all work with theOffice Clipboard as well as the System Clipboard. You can see what is in the Office Clipboard by clicking on the dialog launcher in the bottom right corner of the Clipboard group.
This launches the Office Clipboard Task Pane which shows items recently added to the Office Clipboard with the latest at the top.
The Office Clipboard can hold 24 items.
If you Copy or Cut from any program while an Office program is open, the content is added to the Office Clipboard as well as to the System Clipboard.
When you paste content, it will be from the System Clipboard (which holds one item).
To use the Office Clipboard, you need to display the Office Clipboard Task Pane.
That pane is anchored to the left side of the Word window by default but can be made to float and can be resized when floating.
The top of the Office Clipboard Task Pane will tell you the number of items in the clipboard out of the possible 24. If, with the Clipboard Task Pane showing, you click on one of the items, it will be pasted into your document at the current insertion point even if it was not the last item placed in the clipboard.
Note that if you Copy or Cut material more than once, it will occupy multiple postitions in the Office Clipboard.
Office does not keep track of whether the item is already in the Office Clipboard.
The Clipboard is available in all MS Office programs.
It is cleared if you close all Office programs or if you use the Clear option.
If you use the Clear option, you will also clear the System Clipboard.
Note, the (Windows) System Clipboard holds the last item cut or copied. It only holds one item.
The Font Group
The font group has to do with how characters look. It is distinguished from the paragraph group where the formatting handles the entire paragraph. I am going to divide these controls into three parts:
Controls that give you direct formatting or erase that formatting,
A Control that changes the Case of text but is not formatting, and
Controls that change how the text looks but are not considered formatting.
Let’s look at the last two types, first, because there are only two of them.
Change Case: – Note that Small Caps is not one of the options.
Highlighting: – Highlighting is not considered formatting in Word Highlighting cannot be part of a Style definition (unlike shading) and is not reversed by the Clear Formatting button.
Next is the Oops button: Clear Formatting, which will strip the effects of the other buttons in the font group from selected text.
Clear All Formatting This says it clears all formatting. This is not accurate. It clears all direct formatting, the same as using Ctrl+Spacebar and Ctrl+Q.. It then changes the paragraph style to the Normal style.
The Clear Formatting button will clear any of the formatting applied by the remaining buttons in the Font Group or direct paragraph formatting as well as any style formatting.
The following are all considered Direct Formatting by Word and can be cleared by the Clear Formatting button (or by Ctrl+Spacebar).
Font Dropdown and Font Size Dropdown
These have been a part of Word since at least Word 97. You can click on them to give a list to select from or you can type in them. In the size window you can type a size that is not on the dropdown list. In the Font window you can start typing the name of a font and it will fill in the first font name that fits as you type.
Increase Font Size – Grow Font
Decrease Font Size – Shrink Font
These two buttons will increase/decrease the size of selected text. The increments are according to the font sizes shown in the dropdown for fonts except that for smaller sizes it will go in increments of one that can be lower than any shown. The minimum is 1.
Bold (Ctrl+B)
Italic(Ctrl+I)
These two buttons apply Bold or Italic formatting to text. When the insertion point is inside text that has been formatted as bold or Italic, these buttons will be shaded.
Bold and Italic are toggle formatting. I.e., if you apply bold to text that is already bold, it is turned off.
Both can be applied to the same text, so that you can have text formatted Bold and Italic.
I tend to use the Strong and Emphasis character styles instead of the direct formatting in case of a theme change. There is no built-in style for that. Applying the style is not a toggle.
Underline (with options) (Ctrl+U)
Clicking on the Underline button will underscore your text. Clicking the little triangle on the right will give you options for the type of underline you want. Once you select an option, that option is active during your Word session (including in different documents). The Underline Color brings up a palette. More Underlines… brings up the Font dialog box which has access to even more underline types.
You can only apply one type of underlining to a character. This is character formatting so you could apply different types to different characters in the same word.
If text is already underlined and you click on the Underline button, the underlining will be removed.
Strikethrough
The Strikethrough button gives you a single line through selected text. A double line is possible through the Font Formatting dialog box (below).
If this button is clicked on text that already has double-line strikethrough, it changes it to single-line.
If it is clicked on text that already has single-line strikethrough, that is removed.
The Strikethrough button will be shaded if selected text has a single underline applied.
Subscript
Superscript
These decrease the font size proportionally and lower or raise the baseline.
These buttons are toggles and will be shaded when text is selected to which they apply.
Text Effects
Text Effects lets you apply WordArt type appearance to text in the body of your document. Unlike WordArt, Text Effects can be applied using Styles.
The Text Effects button is available beginning with Word 2010. The screenshot above is from Word 2013; the last three choices in the menu are not available in Word 2010.
This works as a gallery, changing the appearance of text as you mouse-over a type.
Also, as you mouse-over, if you pause, you will see background information on the effect.
The Text Effects button only works as a drop-down. Unlike the Underline, Highlighting, and Color buttons which also allow choices, it will not apply an effect upon being clicked. You need to pick something.
Text Effects work best on larger-size text. On body-size text they will make the text unreadable.
For access to all of the options, you need to use the Dialog Launcher.
I do not pretend to understand all of the choices in this. Here is an Office-Watch page on them.
Font Color
If you simply click on the font color button, it will give you the color shown. That color will be the last one applied to text in your Word session.
If you click on the drop-down, it gives you selections and menu choices.
I try to use Theme colors when they work. That is because if a theme is changed, the color is more likely to fit in.
More Colors gives you access to the full palette
Gradient allows setting multiple colors fading – this is much more effective with larger text.
Font Dialog Launcher (Ctrl+D)
As with many of the Groups on the Ribbon, the Font Group has a dialog launcher button in the bottom right corner.
An alternative for reaching this dialog box is the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D.
This opens a dialog box that gives control over multiple options and gives more options than do the buttons on the Ribbon.
Two not available on the Ribbon buttons are Double strikethrough, and SMALL CAPS. In addition, the Underline style gives access to many different kinds of underscores.
The Preview box at the bottom previews what you are setting.
Under that are buttons that let you set these settings as the default for new documents (based on this template), for text effects, and OK/Cancel.
Even more options are available on the Advanced tab of the font dialog box:
These have to do with character rather than line spacing.
Exploration of these options is beyond the scope of this page.
Bullets and Numbering is the top-right section of the paragraph group.
For simple documents that will not need much editing, these will work fine.
Bullets
The first button is for bullets. Clicking on the bullet button will give you a bullet, the type of bullet will be the last type used by you. Following paragraphs will have the same bullet type. When you press the Enter key to create a new paragraph in an empty line, Word will discontinue use of bullets. When you click on the button, Word changes the indents to add a “hanging indent” that indents both the bullet and the associated text.
Clicking on the down-pointing triangle will give you choices.
You can also choose to define your own bullet icon.
For documents that are going to be heavily edited or with multiple kinds of bullets, I recommend use of bullets linked to Styles. See How to control bullets in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly.
List Numbering
The second bullet is for simple numbered lists. Clicking on the button will give you a single-level numbered list of the type last used. Shown below is such a number inserted with the ruler showing.
Included with the numbering is a first-line indent and a hanging indent. Your numbered list will be set in from the margin and following lines in the paragraph will be set in more.
As with bullets, you can apply this to existing paragraphs.
As with bullets, the down-facing triangle will give you more choices.
The screenshot above shows the gallery of choices. As with the bullets gallery, the list number gallery lets you preview your choice for selected text. In this show, the current choice is with the full stop following the number; the previewed choice is with a right parenthesis. As with bullets, you can define a new format. In addition, you can reset or restart your numbering.
Again, with simple documents that will not be edited much, this button works fine. For anything more complex, you will want to go to Numbering linked to Styles. See How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly. This method gives much finer control and is much less prone to development of “spaghetti numbering.”
Paragraph Dialog Launcher
The little arrow in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group launches the Paragraph Formatting dialog. Again, such formatting is best done using Styles rather than directly.
The Styles Group in Word 2007-2010 is shown above. The Styles Group for 2013 and later no longer has the Change Styles dropdown. That has been moved to the design tab in those versions.
The Editing Group actually appears on the far right end of the Home Tab.
The Editing Group has three choices, two of which are drop-down.
Find
Find (Ctrl+F) opens the navigation pane with the insertion point in a search box
Advanced Find (Ctrl+H, Alt+D) opens the Find dialog box (See Replace below)
Go To… (Ctrl+G) opens a dialog that lets you go to a point in your document
Replace (Ctrl+H) opens the Replace dialog box shown below.
Actually, it opens a smaller dialog box with everything above “Search Options” on it. In the smaller version the button on the left reads “More >>” instead of “<< Less.”
Note the Find and Go To tabs at the top. These are the dialog boxes for the Advanced Find and Go To commands.
The Replace dialog can be used instead of the Advanced Find box if you want, just ignore the Replace and Replace All buttons.
Under both the Find what and Replace with boxes are areas for format. These are controlled by the Format and No Formatting buttons when the cursor is in the box for the text.
There are multiple web pages devoted to this dialog box. Here is a place to start: MVP General Word Help Page
The Voice Group – Dictate Office 2019/365 Only
Variations on the Home Tab
This page has been exploring the controls in Word 2010 and 2013. The Home tab has remained mostly the same in all versions of Word. Here are some screenshots.
Word 2007
-Word 2007 – wider
-Word 2007 – narrower
The three tabs above are all screenshots of the ribbon on the same computer. Word repackages the ribbon tabs to fit the available space. Here, I’ve simply decreased the size of the screenshots of the wider versions.
In the wider version, it gives more space to the Styles Gallery. In the narrower version some buttons shrink or lose captions. The combination of screen size and resolution determines what you will see, so your ribbons may not look exactly like any of the ones shown here. Another example showing different screen layouts is in the Word 2010 version of the Drawing Tools contextual tab below. Your ribbon may or may not have a Developer Tab, that is up to you.
The Word 2007 and 2010 tabs shown are from a laptop running Windows Vista. The Word 2013 tabs are from a desktop tower running Windows 7 on a larger screen.
Word 2010
Word 2010 – Narrower
(Note the collapse of the QuickStyles Gallery and Editing Group. The Quick Styles gallery is now available through the dialog launcher button next to the word “Styles.”. Other groups are compressed. This is less than half as wide as the one immediately above it.)
Word 2013
Word 2016/365
Original Word 2016
Word 2016/365 in 2018 – Note Voice/Dictate Group on Right – this is likely to be the starting point for Word 2019
Word 2019/365 in 2019

Video Tutorial
Conclusion and Final Words
MS Word Home tab सबसे basic tab है जिसके बारे में लगभग सभी computer user को जानना जरुरी है| इस tab में इस्तेमाल किये गए option का इस्तेमाल लगभग अधिकांश software में available होता है और उसका same shortcut key use होता है जैसे की Bold, Italic, Underline etc.
The Home Tab – the basic workspace in a document:
Purpose
The Home Tab is about the basics of how text looks when it is printed or displayed online. It gives access to both direct and Style-based formatting. Because of the importance of Styles to using Word effectively, it devotes a great deal of space to Styles.
I suspect that many Word users seldom stray from the Home Tab. They are missing many opportunities to make Word work for them, but that is not the topic of this page. On this page I intend to examine the control groups on the Home Tab and what each of the controls does. This leads into the Font and Paragraph dialogs and the Clipboard functions of Word.
The Home Tab has its controls arranged in five (six) groups from left to right:
Group names are at the bottom of the Ribbon and groups are separated by a thin line. Most but not all groups have a dialog launcher button in the bottom right corner of the group. The Home Tab shown above is a screenshot from Word 2010. The Home tab has varied slightly through Word versions. These variations are shown at the end of this page.
Word 2019/365 has added a sixth group at the far right: Voice. It holds a Dictate button.
I do not pretend to know what every control does, especially the ones on the dialog boxes. I will tell you what I know. If I am speculating or guessing, I will try to make that clear. As I learn more, this page will be changed. This is a “work in progress.”
The Clipboard Group
The clipboard group is on the far left of the Home Tab. It is often used in conjunction with the Editing group, which is on the far right of that tab.
Paste (with options) Ctrl+V: I have been told that when Microsoft studied Word users, they discovered that the most used Command was “Paste” so when they redesigned the user interface, they decided to give this command prominence as the first button people would see. (The keyboard shortcut in most Windows programs including all versions of Word is Ctrl+V.) The Paste button is actually a drop-down menu of paste choices which is similar to the paste options you see after you paste if you use the the Ctrl+V shortcut.
Button Drop-Down – Ctrl Key Result
The first choice (brush) is to keep source formatting.
The arrow button is to merge formatting and the A is to paste the content into the destination document’s formatting.
Paste Special… brings up a dialog box that I do not pretend to understand.
Set Default Paste… let’s you decide what happens when you simply press Ctrl+V to paste. It gives far more nuanced control through the Advanced Word Options.
The Cut Button is the mouse equivalent of Ctrl+X.
It deletes content from the current location and puts it in the Clipboard.
Another way of looking at this is that it is the beginning of moving text (or graphics) from one part of a document to another (or to a different document or even program).
The second step – the new location placement is done with the Paste command or button.
The Copy Button also puts selected text or graphics into the Clipboard. It remains where it is, though. The keyboard equivalent for this is Ctrl+C.
The Format Painter (Brush) (Ctrl+Shift+C to copy formatting, Ctrl+Shift+V to paste formatting)
I strongly urge people to use Styles rather than the Format Painter. In the long run it will make your life much simpler.
Double-clicking on it allows you to paste to different areas using the mouse brush pointer.
These all work with theOffice Clipboard as well as the System Clipboard. You can see what is in the Office Clipboard by clicking on the dialog launcher in the bottom right corner of the Clipboard group.
This launches the Office Clipboard Task Pane which shows items recently added to the Office Clipboard with the latest at the top.
The Office Clipboard can hold 24 items.
If you Copy or Cut from any program while an Office program is open, the content is added to the Office Clipboard as well as to the System Clipboard.
When you paste content, it will be from the System Clipboard (which holds one item).
To use the Office Clipboard, you need to display the Office Clipboard Task Pane.
That pane is anchored to the left side of the Word window by default but can be made to float and can be resized when floating.
The top of the Office Clipboard Task Pane will tell you the number of items in the clipboard out of the possible 24. If, with the Clipboard Task Pane showing, you click on one of the items, it will be pasted into your document at the current insertion point even if it was not the last item placed in the clipboard.
Note that if you Copy or Cut material more than once, it will occupy multiple postitions in the Office Clipboard.
Office does not keep track of whether the item is already in the Office Clipboard.
The Clipboard is available in all MS Office programs.
It is cleared if you close all Office programs or if you use the Clear option.
If you use the Clear option, you will also clear the System Clipboard.
Note, the (Windows) System Clipboard holds the last item cut or copied. It only holds one item.
The Font Group
The font group has to do with how characters look. It is distinguished from the paragraph group where the formatting handles the entire paragraph. I am going to divide these controls into three parts:
Controls that give you direct formatting or erase that formatting,
A Control that changes the Case of text but is not formatting, and
Controls that change how the text looks but are not considered formatting.
Let’s look at the last two types, first, because there are only two of them.
Change Case: – Note that Small Caps is not one of the options.
Highlighting: – Highlighting is not considered formatting in Word Highlighting cannot be part of a Style definition (unlike shading) and is not reversed by the Clear Formatting button.
Next is the Oops button: Clear Formatting, which will strip the effects of the other buttons in the font group from selected text.
Clear All Formatting This says it clears all formatting. This is not accurate. It clears all direct formatting, the same as using Ctrl+Spacebar and Ctrl+Q.. It then changes the paragraph style to the Normal style.
The Clear Formatting button will clear any of the formatting applied by the remaining buttons in the Font Group or direct paragraph formatting as well as any style formatting.
The following are all considered Direct Formatting by Word and can be cleared by the Clear Formatting button (or by Ctrl+Spacebar).
Font Dropdown and Font Size Dropdown
These have been a part of Word since at least Word 97. You can click on them to give a list to select from or you can type in them. In the size window you can type a size that is not on the dropdown list. In the Font window you can start typing the name of a font and it will fill in the first font name that fits as you type.
Increase Font Size – Grow Font
Decrease Font Size – Shrink Font
These two buttons will increase/decrease the size of selected text. The increments are according to the font sizes shown in the dropdown for fonts except that for smaller sizes it will go in increments of one that can be lower than any shown. The minimum is 1.
Bold (Ctrl+B)
Italic(Ctrl+I)
These two buttons apply Bold or Italic formatting to text. When the insertion point is inside text that has been formatted as bold or Italic, these buttons will be shaded.
Bold and Italic are toggle formatting. I.e., if you apply bold to text that is already bold, it is turned off.
Both can be applied to the same text, so that you can have text formatted Bold and Italic.
I tend to use the Strong and Emphasis character styles instead of the direct formatting in case of a theme change. There is no built-in style for that. Applying the style is not a toggle.
Underline (with options) (Ctrl+U)
Clicking on the Underline button will underscore your text. Clicking the little triangle on the right will give you options for the type of underline you want. Once you select an option, that option is active during your Word session (including in different documents). The Underline Color brings up a palette. More Underlines… brings up the Font dialog box which has access to even more underline types.
You can only apply one type of underlining to a character. This is character formatting so you could apply different types to different characters in the same word.
If text is already underlined and you click on the Underline button, the underlining will be removed.
Strikethrough
The Strikethrough button gives you a single line through selected text. A double line is possible through the Font Formatting dialog box (below).
If this button is clicked on text that already has double-line strikethrough, it changes it to single-line.
If it is clicked on text that already has single-line strikethrough, that is removed.
The Strikethrough button will be shaded if selected text has a single underline applied.
Subscript
Superscript
These decrease the font size proportionally and lower or raise the baseline.
These buttons are toggles and will be shaded when text is selected to which they apply.
Text Effects
Text Effects lets you apply WordArt type appearance to text in the body of your document. Unlike WordArt, Text Effects can be applied using Styles.
The Text Effects button is available beginning with Word 2010. The screenshot above is from Word 2013; the last three choices in the menu are not available in Word 2010.
This works as a gallery, changing the appearance of text as you mouse-over a type.
Also, as you mouse-over, if you pause, you will see background information on the effect.
The Text Effects button only works as a drop-down. Unlike the Underline, Highlighting, and Color buttons which also allow choices, it will not apply an effect upon being clicked. You need to pick something.
Text Effects work best on larger-size text. On body-size text they will make the text unreadable.
For access to all of the options, you need to use the Dialog Launcher.
I do not pretend to understand all of the choices in this. Here is an Office-Watch page on them.
Font Color
If you simply click on the font color button, it will give you the color shown. That color will be the last one applied to text in your Word session.
If you click on the drop-down, it gives you selections and menu choices.
I try to use Theme colors when they work. That is because if a theme is changed, the color is more likely to fit in.
More Colors gives you access to the full palette
Gradient allows setting multiple colors fading – this is much more effective with larger text.
Font Dialog Launcher (Ctrl+D)
As with many of the Groups on the Ribbon, the Font Group has a dialog launcher button in the bottom right corner.
An alternative for reaching this dialog box is the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D.
This opens a dialog box that gives control over multiple options and gives more options than do the buttons on the Ribbon.
Two not available on the Ribbon buttons are Double strikethrough, and SMALL CAPS. In addition, the Underline style gives access to many different kinds of underscores.
The Preview box at the bottom previews what you are setting.
Under that are buttons that let you set these settings as the default for new documents (based on this template), for text effects, and OK/Cancel.
Even more options are available on the Advanced tab of the font dialog box:
These have to do with character rather than line spacing.
Exploration of these options is beyond the scope of this page.
Bullets and Numbering is the top-right section of the paragraph group.
For simple documents that will not need much editing, these will work fine.
Bullets
The first button is for bullets. Clicking on the bullet button will give you a bullet, the type of bullet will be the last type used by you. Following paragraphs will have the same bullet type. When you press the Enter key to create a new paragraph in an empty line, Word will discontinue use of bullets. When you click on the button, Word changes the indents to add a “hanging indent” that indents both the bullet and the associated text.
Clicking on the down-pointing triangle will give you choices.
You can also choose to define your own bullet icon.
For documents that are going to be heavily edited or with multiple kinds of bullets, I recommend use of bullets linked to Styles. See How to control bullets in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly.
List Numbering
The second bullet is for simple numbered lists. Clicking on the button will give you a single-level numbered list of the type last used. Shown below is such a number inserted with the ruler showing.
Included with the numbering is a first-line indent and a hanging indent. Your numbered list will be set in from the margin and following lines in the paragraph will be set in more.
As with bullets, you can apply this to existing paragraphs.
As with bullets, the down-facing triangle will give you more choices.
The screenshot above shows the gallery of choices. As with the bullets gallery, the list number gallery lets you preview your choice for selected text. In this show, the current choice is with the full stop following the number; the previewed choice is with a right parenthesis. As with bullets, you can define a new format. In addition, you can reset or restart your numbering.
Again, with simple documents that will not be edited much, this button works fine. For anything more complex, you will want to go to Numbering linked to Styles. See How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly. This method gives much finer control and is much less prone to development of “spaghetti numbering.”
Paragraph Dialog Launcher
The little arrow in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group launches the Paragraph Formatting dialog. Again, such formatting is best done using Styles rather than directly.
The Styles Group in Word 2007-2010 is shown above. The Styles Group for 2013 and later no longer has the Change Styles dropdown. That has been moved to the design tab in those versions.
The Editing Group actually appears on the far right end of the Home Tab.
The Editing Group has three choices, two of which are drop-down.
Find
Find (Ctrl+F) opens the navigation pane with the insertion point in a search box
Advanced Find (Ctrl+H, Alt+D) opens the Find dialog box (See Replace below)
Go To… (Ctrl+G) opens a dialog that lets you go to a point in your document
Replace (Ctrl+H) opens the Replace dialog box shown below.
Actually, it opens a smaller dialog box with everything above “Search Options” on it. In the smaller version the button on the left reads “More >>” instead of “<< Less.”
Note the Find and Go To tabs at the top. These are the dialog boxes for the Advanced Find and Go To commands.
The Replace dialog can be used instead of the Advanced Find box if you want, just ignore the Replace and Replace All buttons.
Under both the Find what and Replace with boxes are areas for format. These are controlled by the Format and No Formatting buttons when the cursor is in the box for the text.
There are multiple web pages devoted to this dialog box. Here is a place to start: MVP General Word Help Page
The Voice Group – Dictate Office 2019/365 Only
Variations on the Home Tab
This page has been exploring the controls in Word 2010 and 2013. The Home tab has remained mostly the same in all versions of Word. Here are some screenshots.
Word 2007
-Word 2007 – wider
-Word 2007 – narrower
The three tabs above are all screenshots of the ribbon on the same computer. Word repackages the ribbon tabs to fit the available space. Here, I’ve simply decreased the size of the screenshots of the wider versions.
In the wider version, it gives more space to the Styles Gallery. In the narrower version some buttons shrink or lose captions. The combination of screen size and resolution determines what you will see, so your ribbons may not look exactly like any of the ones shown here. Another example showing different screen layouts is in the Word 2010 version of the Drawing Tools contextual tab below. Your ribbon may or may not have a Developer Tab, that is up to you.
The Word 2007 and 2010 tabs shown are from a laptop running Windows Vista. The Word 2013 tabs are from a desktop tower running Windows 7 on a larger screen.
Word 2010
Word 2010 – Narrower
(Note the collapse of the QuickStyles Gallery and Editing Group. The Quick Styles gallery is now available through the dialog launcher button next to the word “Styles.”. Other groups are compressed. This is less than half as wide as the one immediately above it.)
Word 2013
Word 2016/365
Original Word 2016
Word 2016/365 in 2018 – Note Voice/Dictate Group on Right – this is likely to be the starting point for Word 2019

In this lesson, you'll learn how to <strong>cut</strong>, <strong>copy</strong>,<strong> paste</strong>, and <strong>format</strong> text.
Watch the video below to learn more about the basics of working with text in PowerPoint.
To select text:
Before you can move or arrange text, you’ll need to select it.
Click next to the text you want to select, drag the mouse over the text, then release your mouse. The text will be selected.
Copying and moving text
PowerPoint allows you to copy text that is already on a slide and paste it elsewhere, which can save you time. If you want to move text, you can cut and paste or drag and drop the text.
To copy and paste text:
Select the text you want to copy, then click the Copy command on the Home tab.
Place the insertion point where you want the text to appear.
Click the Paste command on the Home tab.
The copied text will appear.
To cut and paste text:
Select the text you want to move, then click the Cut command.
Place the insertion point where you want the text to appear, then click the Paste command.
The text will appear in the new location.
You can access the cut, copy, and paste commands by using keyboard shortcuts. Press Ctrl+X to cut, Ctrl+C to copy, and Ctrl+V to paste.
To drag and drop text:
Select the text you want to move, then click and drag the text to the desired location.
The text will appear in the new location.
Formatting and aligning text
Formatted text can draw your audience’s attention to specific parts of a presentation and emphasize important information. In PowerPoint, you have several options for adjusting text, including size and color. You can also adjust the alignment of the text to change how it is displayed on the slide.
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn about the different commands in the Font and Paragraph groups.
Align Text
You can use these commands to align your text at the top, middle, or bottom of a placeholder or text box.
Use cut and paste or drag and drop to move the text Lower blood pressure between Companionship and Social opportunities.
Select the list of benefits and add italics.
Select the text Did you Know?, remove the boldface, and change the size to 36pt.
When you’re finished, your slide should look like this:
LESSION : MS POWER POINT APPLYING THEMES
INTRODUCTION
A theme is a predefined combination of colors, fonts, and effects. Different themes also use different slide layouts. You’ve already been using a theme, even if you didn’t know it: the default Office theme. You can choose from a variety of new themes at any time, giving your entire presentation a consistent, professional look.
Watch the video below to learn more about applying themes in PowerPoint.
What is a theme?
In PowerPoint, themes give you a quick and easy way to change the design of your presentation. They control your primary color palette, basic fonts, slide layout, and other important elements. All of the elements of a theme will work well together, which means you won’t have to spend as much time formatting your presentation.
Each theme uses its own set of slide layouts. These layouts control the way your content is arranged, so the effect can be dramatic. In the examples below, you can see that the placeholders, fonts, and colors are different.
If you use a unique slide layout—such as Quote with Caption or NameCard—then switch to a theme that does not include this layout, it may give unexpected results.
Every PowerPoint theme—including the default Office theme—has its own theme elements. These elements include:
Theme Colors: There are 10 themecolors, along with darker and lighter variations, available from every Color menu.
Theme Fonts: There are two theme fonts available at the top of the Font menu under Theme Fonts.
Theme Effects: These affect the preset shape styles. You can find shape styles on the Format tab whenever you select a shape or SmartArt graphic.
When you switch to a different theme, all of these elements will update to reflect the new theme. You can drastically change the look of your presentation in a few clicks.
If you apply a font or color that isn’t part of the theme, it won’t change when you select a different theme. This includes colors selected from the Standard Colors or More Colors options and fonts selected from All Fonts. Using non-theme elements can be useful when you want certain text to be a specific color or font, like a logo.
You can also customize themes and define theme elements yourself. To learn more, review our lesson on Modifying Themes.
Applying themes
All themes included in PowerPoint are located in the Themes group on the Design tab. Themes can be applied or changed at any time.
To apply a theme:
Select the Design tab on the Ribbon, then locate the Themes group. Each image represents a theme.
Click the More drop-down arrow to see all available themes.
Select the desired theme.
The theme will be applied to the entire presentation. To apply a different theme, simply select it from the Design tab.
Once you’ve applied a theme, you can select a variant for the theme from the Variants group. Variants use different theme colors while preserving a theme’s overall look.

The <strong>Slide Navigation pane</strong> on the left side of the screen makes it easy to <strong>organize</strong> your slides. From there, you can <strong>duplicate</strong>, <strong>rearrange</strong>, and <strong>delete</strong> slides in your presentation.</p><img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_organizing_intro2.jpg" alt="The Slide Navigation pane" /><h4 style="text-align: left;">Working with slides</h4><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><strong>Duplicate slides</strong>: If you want to copy and paste a slide quickly, you can <strong>duplicate</strong> it. To duplicate slides, select the slide you want to <strong>duplicate</strong>, right-click the mouse, and choose <strong>Duplicate Slide</strong> from the menu that appears. You can also duplicate <strong>multiple slides</strong> at once by selecting them first.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_organizing_duplicate.jpg" alt="Duplicating slides" /></li><li><strong>Move slides</strong>: It's easy to change the <strong>order</strong> of your slides. Just click and drag the <strong>desired slide</strong> in the Slide Navigation pane to the desired position.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_organizing_move.jpg" alt="Moving a slide" /></li><li><strong>Delete slides</strong>: If you want to remove a slide from your presentation, you can <strong>delete</strong> it. Simply select the slide you want to delete, then press the <strong>Delete</strong> or <strong>Backspace </strong>key on your keyboard.</li></ul><h4 style="text-align: left;">To copy and paste slides:</h4><p style="text-align: left;">If you want to create several slides with the same layout, you may find it easier to <strong>copy and paste</strong> a slide you've already created instead of starting with an empty slide.</p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Select the <strong>slide</strong> you want to copy in the Slide Navigation pane, then click the <strong>Copy</strong> command on the <strong>Home</strong> tab. You can also press <strong>Ctrl+C </strong>on your keyboard.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_organizing_copy.jpg" alt="Selecting a slide and clicking the Copy command" /></li><li>In the Slide Navigation pane, click just below a slide (or between two slides) to choose a paste location. A <strong>horizontal insertion point</strong> will appear.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_organizing_location.jpg" alt="Choosing a paste location" /></li><li>Click the <strong>Paste</strong> command on the <strong>Home</strong> tab.

For example, a layout might have too many—or too few—placeholders. You might also want to change how the placeholders are arranged on the slide. Fortunately, PowerPoint makes it easy to adjust slide layouts as needed.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Adjusting placeholders</h4><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><strong>To select a placeholder</strong>: Hover the mouse over the edge of the placeholder and click (you may need to click the text in the placeholder first to see the border). A selected placeholder will have a <strong>solid</strong> <strong>line</strong> instead of a dotted line.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_placeholders_select.png" alt="Selecting a placeholder" /></li><li><strong>To move a placeholder</strong>: Select the placeholder, then click and drag it to the desired location.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_placeholders_move.png" alt="Moving a placeholder" /></li><li><strong>To resize a placeholder</strong>: Select the placeholder you want to resize. <strong>Sizing handles</strong> will appear. Click and drag the <strong>sizing handles</strong> until the placeholder is the desired size. You can use the corner sizing handles to change the placeholder's <strong>height</strong> and <strong>width</strong> at the same time.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_placeholders_resize.png" alt="Resizing a placeholder" /></li><li><strong>To delete a placeholder</strong>: Select the placeholder you want to delete, then press the <strong>Delete</strong> or <strong>Backspace</strong> key on your keyboard.</li></ul><h4 style="text-align: left;">To add a text box:</h4><p style="text-align: left;">Text can be inserted into both <strong>placeholders</strong> and <strong>text boxes</strong>. Inserting <strong>text boxes</strong> allows you to add to the slide layout. Unlike placeholders, text boxes always stay in the same place, even if you change the theme.</p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>From the <strong>Insert</strong> tab, select the <strong>Text</strong> <strong>Box</strong> command.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_box_ribbon.png" alt="Clicking the Text Box command" /></li><li>Click and drag to draw the text box on the slide.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_box_drag.png" alt="Drawing the text box" /></li><li>The text box will appear.

Blank slides can be customized by adding your own text boxes, pictures, charts, and more.</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>To insert a blank slide, click the bottom half of the <strong>New Slide </strong>command, then choose <strong>Blank</strong> from the menu that appears.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_blank_slide2.png" alt="Inserting a blank slide" /></li></ul><p style="text-align: left;">While blank slides offer more flexibility, keep in mind that you won't be able to take advantage of the predesigned layouts included in each theme.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">To play the presentation:</h4><p style="text-align: left;">Once you've arranged your slides, you may want to <strong>play</strong> your presentation. This is how you will present your slide show to an audience.</p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Click the <strong>Start From Beginning </strong>command on the Quick Access Toolbar to see your presentation.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_start_beginning2.png" alt="Clicking the Start From Beginning command" /></li><li>The presentation will appear in full-screen mode.</li><li>You can advance to the next slide by <strong>clicking your mouse</strong> or pressing the <strong>spacebar</strong> on your keyboard. You can also use the <strong>arrow keys</strong> on your keyboard to move forward or backward through the presentation.</li><li>Press the <strong>Esc</strong> key to exit presentation mode.</li></ol><p style="text-align: left;">You can also press the <strong>F5</strong> key at the top of your keyboard to start a presentation.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Customizing slides</h3><h4 style="text-align: left;">To change the slide size:</h4><p style="text-align: left;">By default, all slides in PowerPoint 2013 use a<strong> 16</strong><strong>-</strong><strong>by-9</strong>—or <strong>widescreen</strong>—aspect ratio. You might know that widescreen TVs also use the 16-by-9 aspect ratio. Widescreen slides will work best with widescreen monitors and projectors. However, if you need your presentation to fit a <strong>4-by-3</strong> screen, it's easy to change the slide size to fit.</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>To change the slide size, select the <strong>Design</strong> tab, then click the <strong>Slide Size</strong> command. Choose the desired slide size from the menu that appears, or click <strong>Custom Slide Size</strong> for more options.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_slide_size.png" alt="Choosing a slide size" /></li></ul><h4 style="text-align: left;">To format the slide background:</h4><p style="text-align: left;">By default, all slides in your presentation use a <strong>white background</strong>. It's easy to change the background style for some or all of your slides. Backgrounds can have a <strong>solid</strong>, <strong>gradient</strong>, <strong>pattern</strong>, or <strong>picture</strong> fill.</p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Select the <strong>Design</strong> tab, then click the <strong>Format</strong> <strong>Background</strong> command.<img src="https://media.gcflearnfree.org/content/56cdcb2d6aa91513bce2d7c3_02_24_2016/slide_basics_background_ribbon.png" alt="Clicking the Format Background command" /></li><li>The <strong>Format Background</strong> pane will appear on the right.

<h2>MS POWER POINT : SAVING PRESENTATION</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>LESSION : MS POWER POINT SAVING PRESENTATION</strong></h2><h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Introduction</strong></h3>Whenever you create a new presentation in PowerPoint, you'll need to know how to <strong>save</strong> in order to access and edit it later. As with previous versions of PowerPoint, you can save files to your <strong>computer</strong>. If you prefer, you can also save files to <strong>the cloud</strong> using <strong>OneDrive</strong>. You can even <strong>export</strong> and <strong>share</strong> presentations directly from PowerPoint.
Watch the video below to learn more about saving and sharing PowerPoint presentations.
♣ Save and Save As
PowerPoint offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. These options work in similar ways, with a few important differences.
Save: When you create or edit a presentation, you’ll use the Save command to save your changes. You’ll use this command most of the time. When you save a file, you’ll only need to choose a file name and location the first time. After that, you can just click the Save command to save it with the same name and location.
Save As: You’ll use this command to create a copy of a presentation while keeping the original. When you use Save As, you’ll need to choose a different name and/or location for the copied version.
♣ About OneDrive
Most features in Microsoft Office, including PowerPoint, are geared toward saving and sharing documents online. This is done with OneDrive, which is an online storage space for your documents and files. If you want to use OneDrive, make sure you’re signed in to PowerPoint with your Microsoft account. Review our lesson on Understanding OneDrive to learn more.
♣ To save a presentation:
It’s important to save your presentation whenever you start a new project or make changes to an existing one. Saving early and often can prevent your work from being lost. You’ll also need to pay close attention to where you save the presentation so it will be easy to find later.
Locate and select the Save command on the QuickAccessToolbar.
If you’re saving the file for the first time, the Save As pane will appear in Backstageview.
You’ll then need to choose where to save the file and give it a file name. Click Browse to select a location on your computer. You can also click OneDrive to save the file to your OneDrive.
The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save the presentation.
Enter a file name for the presentation, then click Save.
The presentation will be saved. You can click the Save command again to save your changes as you modify the presentation.
You can also access the Save command by pressing Ctrl+S on your keyboard.
♣ Using Save As to make a copy
If you want to save a different version of a presentation while keeping the original, you can create a copy. For example, if you have a file named Client Presentation you could save it as Client Presentation 2 so you’ll be able to edit the new file and still refer back to the original version.
To do this, you’ll click the Save As command in Backstage view. Just like when saving a file for the first time, you’ll need to choose where to save the file and give it a new file name.
♣ To change the default save location:
If you don’t want to use OneDrive, you may be frustrated that OneDrive is selected as the default location when saving. If you find this inconvenient, you can change the default save location so This PC is selected by default.
Click the File tab to access Backstageview.
Click Options.
The PowerPoint Options dialog box will appear. Select Save, check the box next to Save to Computer by default, then click OK. The default save location will be changed.
♣ Using Auto Recover
PowerPoint automatically saves your presentations to a temporary folder while you are working on them. If you forget to save your changes or if PowerPoint crashes, you can restore the file using Auto Recover.
♣ To use Auto Recover:
Open PowerPoint. If autosaved versions of a file are found, the DocumentRecovery pane will appear.
Click to open an available file. The presentation will be recovered.
By default, PowerPoint autosaves every 10 minutes. If you are editing a presentation for less than 10 minutes, PowerPoint may not create an autosaved version.
If you don’t see the file you need, you can browse all autosaved files from Backstageview. Just select the File tab, click Manage Presentation, then choose Recover Unsaved Presentations.
♣ Exporting presentations
By default, PowerPoint presentations are saved in the .pptx file type. However, there may be times when you need to use another file type, such as a PDF or PowerPoint 97-2003 presentation. It’s easy to export your presentation from PowerPoint to a variety of file types.
PDF: This saves the presentation as a PDF document instead of a PowerPoint file.
Video: This saves the presentation as a video.
Package for CD: This saves the presentation in a folder along with the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, a special slide show player anyone can download.
Handouts: This prints a handout version of your slides.
Other file type: This saves in other file types, including PNG and PowerPoint 97-2003.
♣ To export a presentation:
In our example, we’ll save the presentation as a PowerPoint 97-2003 file.
Click the File tab to access Backstageview.
Click Export, then choose the desired option. In our example, we’ll select ChangeFileType.
Select a filetype, then click SaveAs.
The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to export the presentation, type a file name, then click Save.
You can also use the Save as type drop-down menu in the Save As dialog box to save presentations in a variety of file types. Be careful to choose a file type others will be able to open.
♣ Sharing presentations
PowerPoint makes it easy to shareand collaborate on presentations using OneDrive. In the past, if you wanted to share a file with someone you could send it as an email attachment. While convenient, this system also creates multiple versions of the same file, which can be difficult to organize.
When you share a presentation from PowerPoint, you’re actually giving others access to the exact same file. This lets you and the people you share with edit the same presentation without having to keep track of multiple versions.
In order to share a presentation, it must first be savedtoyourOneDrive.
To share a presentation:
Click the File tab to access Backstageview, then click Share.
PowerPoint will return to Normal view and open the Share panel on the right side of the window. From here, you can invite people to share your document, see a list of who has access to the document, and set whether they can edit or only view the document.
Use Save As to create a copy of the presentation. Name the new copy Saving Challenge Practice. You can save it to a folder on your computer or to your OneDrive.
