 This video will show you the basics of using Microsoft Word. First, open Microsoft Word. You may need to select the blank document before you get this page. Now you have a blank page. You can type a sentence, a paragraph, a whole paper, a resume, and many other things. First, I will type my name at the top of the paper. Then I will press Enter on the keyboard to continue on the next line. Then I will type a paragraph about the causes of stress. Most paragraphs start with an indent. To indent the first line, press the Tab button one time. Then begin to type. There are many causes of stress. Family? If you make an error like I did just now, you can use the Backspace button on your keyboard to erase. Then you can continue typing. Family, work, and school can all cause stress. It is important to understand what causes stress. As you can see, important has a red line underneath it. This means that the word is spelled incorrectly. I can go back to the word with my mouse. Hover the cursor over the word. Right click and select the word that you wanted to use. I meant to say important. Click on important and it will be inserted into the word document. Now click at the end of the sentence to continue typing. If you understand what causes stress, you can cope with and prevent stress. Now that I have my paragraph, I can change the way it looks. Highlight all of the text by clicking and dragging your mouse over all of the words. Use the tools under the Home tab to change the font style, the font size, and even the font color. You can also change the words to be bold. Click on the B to make all the words bold. Click on the I to italicize the words. Click on the U to underline all of the words. To undo this action, click on the letter again. I will leave my words bold. Press enter again to go to the new line. You can also insert an image into word. You need to already have an image saved to your computer. Select insert, picture. Look for your picture where you saved it. I saved my picture in the pictures folder. Select your image, click insert. Now I can adjust the size of the picture by clicking on the corner and dragging. I can also move the picture around if I want to by clicking on the border. Don't forget to attribute your image if it is from someone else. You can also save your document. You want to save your document before you close it. Click on file, save as. I saved my documents in the documents folder. You can save them wherever you can find them. Name your document. I will name this stress paragraph and picture. Click save. You have learned the basics of Microsoft Word.
