00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:11.410
Before I get started on my first document
I want to make sure my Word Environment is

00:00:11.410 --> 00:00:15.519
set up in a way that allows me to access all
the tools and features I use.

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.880
In my current view the Ribbon is maximized
but if you don't see the Ribbon it means your

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:21.520
Ribbon is minimized.

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:26.230
You can minimize and maximize the Ribbon by
right clicking on the Ribbon and selecting

00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:30.800
or deselecting the Ribbon from the drop down
menu.

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.160
Look closely and you will see the Quick Access
Toolbar.

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:39.239
If you're not looking closely you may miss
it the first time!The Quick Access Toolbar

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:43.190
is separate from the Ribbon and can be used
to make certain tools more convenient for

00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:44.190
you.

00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:47.969
By default it only displays the Save, Undo,
and Redo tools.

00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:52.510
I personally use more than these three tools
so I'm going to add a few things.

00:00:52.510 --> 00:00:55.969
There is a tiny arrow that appears beside
the toolbar.

00:00:55.969 --> 00:01:00.350
If I place my mouse over it, a message displays
telling me that I can customize the Quick

00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:01.980
Access toolbar.

00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:05.100
By clicking on the arrow I see a list of tools
I can add.

00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:09.070
I want to add New and Spelling and Grammar.

00:01:09.070 --> 00:01:14.850
I don't know about you but I like to use the
Ruler because it really helps me with formatting.

00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:18.770
Just in case the ruler isn't on when you start
your document I want to show you how to turn

00:01:18.770 --> 00:01:19.880
it on.

00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:24.051
If you look to the right side of your screen
above the scrollbar you will see the View

00:01:24.051 --> 00:01:25.240
Ruler icon.

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:29.460
Simply click on this icon and your ruler appears
above your document.

00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:30.460
Alright!

00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:33.040
Everything looks good to me, I'm ready to
work!

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.369
Oh wait, there are a few more things that
I think are really nice about Word 2007!

00:01:37.369 --> 00:01:42.100
In the lower, left corner you will see a Word
Count Button that tells you how many words

00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:43.840
you've typed in your document.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.390
If you click on the button it will tell you
more detailed information.

00:01:47.390 --> 00:01:49.649
In the right corner there is a Zoom Slider.

00:01:49.649 --> 00:01:53.770
I can use this to zoom in and out of my document.

00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:56.090
Ok, now I'm ready to get started!
