Terminology
While different versions have different
appearances, they all have most of the
same features. If you know what to call it,
you should be able to find it in other
versions.
The area outlined in red is called the
title bar.
It displays the names of the open

program (in this case Microsoft Word)
and the name of the current file.
This file has not yet been saved so its
name is Document1.
Files created in Microsoft Word are often

referred to as documents and have the
file extension .doc or .docx
The area outlined in red contains the
minimize, maximize/restore and close
buttons for the program window.
These three buttons are on almost every
window that opens in a Windows based
platform.
They are on Mac windows as well, but
they are circles instead of squares.
When you click the minimize button the
program becomes a button on the
Windows taskbar located at the bottom of
the screen.
You can restore the document to its
original shape and size by either:
Clicking on the button on the task bar one
time to restore it to active mode,
If you have multiple files from the same
program open you will need to select the
one you want to restore to active mode.
When you click the maximize / restore
button the program assumes the same
shape and size it was before you
minimized it.
Or
The program window will fill the screen.
When you click the close button the
program will ask you if you want to save
the changes if you have made any
changes. Once you have responded to
this question the program will close.
The area outlined in red is called the
quick access toolbar.
It contains the most commonly used
commands in Microsoft Word:
1. Save
2. Undo
3. Repeat
Microsoft Office 2007 & 2010 use what is
referred to as the “Ribbon” interface. The
area outlined in red comprises the
Ribbon.
The ribbons we are going to go over
today are the default ribbons.
You may customize the ribbon and or a
group on the ribbon on your personal
computer to have only the features you
want to use.
In order to do this all you have to do is
right mouse click on the ribbon or the
group you want to customize.
The Words File, Home, Insert, etc…
outlined in red are referred to as tabs.
Each tab has several Groups attached to
it.
The File Tab menu contains the commands
most commonly associated with the file.
The Home Tab Groups contain the commands
most commonly associated with the formatting and
editing of text.
