Best way to master the icons/their use

there is so much to understand and not all icons would be applicable to my everyday. what is best way to understand the resources at my fingertips?

RE: best way to master the icons/their use

Hi Sherry


Thank you for your question.

The toolbar buttons that are present by default when you open the Word application are deemed as the most commonly used commands, for example, cut, copy, paste, save, print etc along with a number of formatting toolbar buttons such as font size, font colour, borders, etc. These toolbar button are simply there to provide quicker access to these commonly used commands.

To identify which ones are applicable to your day to day working can only be achieved through understanding what these buttons do either by exploring them yourself or if you have a particular question about a specific tool you can send that to us.

Many users of the Microsoft applications are self-taught by establishing through trial & error what tools work well for their day to day workings. Alternatively through the training we provide from the introductory level to advanced, these buttons are introduced.


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.


Regards

Word tip:

Making the first letter of a document bigger (drop caps)

Making the first letter of a document bigger than the other text around it gives a document a more 'story-book' look.

To achieve this effect:

1. Click to the left of the first word in the document.

2. Go to Format - Drop Cap.

3. Choose the Dropped option (middle of the three options at the top of the Drop Cap dialogue box).

4. Choose the font for the dropped cap and select how many lines it should 'drop down' in the paragraph (effectively, the height of the letter in lines).

5. If you would like to create a gap between the dropped cap and the text around it, use the Distance from Text option to achieve this.

6. Click OK.

To make adjustments to the dropped cap, simply click inside the frame that appears around the letter, and go to Format - Drop Cap again.
