Creating a Document  Parts of the Word Window : o There is the formatting toolbar, menu bar, standard toolbar, and task pane. All of which we discussed in our last lecture (WD 6). o The insertion point is where characters will actually appear when you start typing. (WD 6). An insertion point is shown on Figure 1-2 (WD 5). o Nonprinting characters are symbols that can appear on the screen but are not visible on the printed page. The paragraph mark shows the end of a paragraph. Dots are used to mark the spaces between words (WD 6, WD 9). o The horizontal ruler is used to adjust margins and align parts of a document (WD 8). o The Zoom setting controls the document’s on-screen magnification. 100% is the same size in which it will appear when it is printed. Please note that this applies only to its on-screen appearance (WD 8). The Zoom list box is shown on Figure 1-5 (WD 8). o On the formatting toolbar, there are a pair of drop-down menus that affect the text on your page. The font drop down menu changes the style of the text and the font size drop down menu changes its size (WD 8). o Microsoft Word has default settings for the above settings. These settings can be easily changed and customized (WD 6).  Working on a Document : o As you enter text, you do not have to press the Enter key at the end of each line. As you type a word that extends past the right edge of the screen, the insertion point as well as the word you are currently typing move to the next line. This feature is known as word wrap (WD 16). o As you add text at the end of the document past the bottom of the screen, the text you entered earlier will scroll (or shift up) and disappear from the top of the screen (WD 17).
