Although there are a lot of webinar courses on Microsoft Project, there appear to be fewer rigorous textbooks and I figured this would be one of them. I have had good experiences with the MOAC texts on Excel , Word and Access , they were very thorough and useful in helping me practice for certification. Also, it may not seem like a big deal but the text is not full color! While this may not be a big deal on a program like Word, it is for interface intensive instruction required for programs like Project, Excel, Access.

For example critical path tasks are referenced as highlighted in red but shown in grayscale, not ideal! For a textbook as expensive as this full color is expected. The companion site for this book, the one holding the supporting training files, is not available.

When contacted via live chat, the supplier had no information on WHEN it will be available. The book is a well organized teaching companion. However, it contains the typical academic text errors. It is recommended that you wait until the second edition is published, to allow time to 1 populate the Web Site with the supporting “Companion” material training files and to 2 correct the errors in the text.

Book was in excellent condition. I used it for my college class and it was spot on with the information I needed. Fast shipping and great price, what more could I ask for.

I am using this text for a project management course. I have used MOAC texts before and this one is exactly it guides you through everything you need to know about Microsoft Project step by step. It’s a good reference book. It’s a pretty concise course book. Didn’t come with CD like expected. Good book. Purchased for school. Establishing a Group Resource In the previous exercise, you set up resources that were individuals.

Now, you will set up a single resource that represents multiple people, sometimes called a Generic Resource. Click the blank Resource Name field below the last resource, type Sound Technician and then press Tab. In the Type field, make sure that Work is selected. Press Tab four times to move to the Max. Units field. You may only see a portion of the field name. To see the entire field name, expand the row just as you would in Excel.

Place the cursor on the bottom of the header row in the ID column just above resource 1. Click and drag the row down. Microsoft Project will warn you if you assign a resource to more tasks than it can accomplish at its maximum units. Establishing Resources 41 3. In the Max. You can simply click these arrows to scroll to the number you want displayed. Click the Max. This represents that she is only available part time on this project.

To change to this format, click File on the ribbon, then Options, and then click the Schedule option. In the Show assignment units as a box, select Decimal. In this exercise, you established a group resource.

The resource named Sound Technician does not represent a single person. It actually represents a group of people called sound technicians. By setting the Max. You might not know specifically who the sound technicians will be at this point, but you can still proceed with more planning. Keep in mind if you use a group resource, a single resource calendar will be assigned to that resource name. Therefore, it is beneficial to have all of the people represented by the resource name work the same hours.

In the Type field, select Work from the drop-down menu. Notice that the Resource Information dialog box contains many of the same fields as the Resource Sheet. Figure Resource Information dialog box with newly added resource Resource name field Resource type field Establishing Resources 43 6. The Resource Information dialog box closes and the resource has been added. Notice that Microsoft Project has automatically wrapped the text in the Resource Name field. Note that the Max.

This indicates that you will have two truck cameras available every workday. Add the following additional equipment resources to the project schedule. You can use the Resource Information dialog box to enter your information, but entering it directly in Resource Sheet view is faster.

Make sure that Work is selected in the Type field for each resource. Figure Resource Sheet showing equipment resources added 9. Equipment resources tend to be more specialized than people resources. Establishing Material Resources Material resources are consumable items used up as the tasks in a project are completed.

Unlike work resources including human resources and equipment resources , material resources have no effect on the total amount of work scheduled to be performed on a task. For your music video project, DVDs are the consumable that interests you most. In this exercise, you practice entering material resources for your project. Type DVD and press Tab. In the Type field, click the arrow and select Material, then press Tab.

Notice that some of the fields columns , such as Max. Units, Ovt. Rate and Calendar, are not available when you change to a material type resource. In the Material Label field, type 2-hour disc and press Enter. This means you will use 2-hour discs as the unit of measure to track consumption during the project. Figure Material resource added to resource sheet Material label field is the unit of measure for the material resource Establishing Resources 45 5.

In this exercise you entered a material resource. Depending on the project management approach of your organization, you may or may not be required to track project material resources. Bear in mind that if the project requires material and these are not entered into the software, the final cost, as calculated by the software, will not be a true reflection of the project estimate.

A cost resource enables you to apply a cost to a task by assigning a cost item such as travel to that task. The cost resource has no relationship to the work assigned to the task, but assigning cost resources gives you more control when applying various types of costs to tasks within your project. Unlike fixed costs, you can apply as many cost resources to a task as necessary.

In this exercise, you add cost resources to the resource sheet for your project. Type Travel and then press Tab. In the Type field, click the arrow and select Cost. The travel resource has now been established as a cost resource. Just as with a material resource, some fields are not available with a cost resource.

In the Type field, select Cost and press Enter. Also, unlike work resources, cost resources cannot have a calendar applied to them and therefore do not affect the scheduling of the task. When you enter the cost information for resources, tracking the finances of a project becomes a more manageable task. Entering Resource Cost Information Knowing resource cost information will help you take full advantage of the cost management features of Microsoft Project.

In this exercise, you practice entering cost information for both work and material resources. In the Resource Sheet, click the Std. Standard Rate field for resource 1, Jamie Reding. Establishing Resources 47 2. In the Std. Rate column for resource 2, Scott Seely, type Rate column. Widen the Std. Rate column by moving the mouse pointer to the vertical divider line between the Std. Rate column and Ovt.

Double-click the divider line. Figure Resource Sheet with the standard rate for first two resources entered. For a material resource, the standard rate is per unit of consumption. For this exercise, that is a 2-hour DVD.

Also note that you did not assign a cost to the cost resources; this is done when the cost resources are assigned to a task covered in Lesson 3. In the real world, it is often difficult to get cost information for people resources because this information is usually considered confidential.

As a project manager, it is important that you are aware of the limitations of your project schedule because of the information available to you, and that you communicate these limitations to your project team Establishing Resources 49 and management.

As a project manager, tracking and managing cost information may be a significant part of your project responsibilities. You should define these times prior to assigning them to tasks. Resource working times apply only to people and equipment work resources — not to material resources. Now that you have entered resources and their associated pay rates in your project schedule, you can specify the working and nonworking times for some of these resources. The resource calendar provides default working times for an entire project.

Typically, you will need to make changes to the individual resource calendars to reflect vacation, flex-time work schedules, or conference attendance. In this exercise, you establish nonworking times for your individual work resources. Click the Project tab, then click Change Working Time. The Change Working Time dialog box appears. In the For Calendar box, select Jamie Reding. Slide the button next to the calendar until the calendar is on January, Select the dates January 28 and In the first Name field under the Exceptions tab, type Vacation Days.

Press Enter. Microsoft Project will not schedule Jamie Reding to work on these two days. Keep in mind that when you make changes to the project calendar, the changes are reflected in all resource calendars which are based on the project calendar. However, changes you make to the working times of an individual resource are not reflected in the project calendar. Establishing Specific Work Schedules In addition to specifying exception times for resources, you can also set up a specific work schedule for any given resource.

Establishing Resources 51 2. In the For Calendar box, select Scott Seely. Click the Work Weeks tab, and then click the Details button. In the Select day s box, click and drag to select Monday through Thursday. Select the radio button next to Set day s to these specific working times.

Press Enter to set your changes. Figure Details dialog box showing modified working times for Scott Seely 9. In the Select day s box, click Friday. Select the radio button next to Select Set days to nonworking time. Click OK to close the Details dialog box.

Click any Friday in the Change Working Time dialog box. Note that these days are set to nonworking time. Click any one day of the week, Monday — Thursday. Note the working times for these days. Modified working hours for Monday through Friday Fridays are grayed out indicating nonworking time If you need to edit several resource calendars in the same way to handle a flex-time schedule or night shift, for example , you might find it easier to assign a different base calendar to this group of resources.

A base calendar can be used as a task calendar, a project calendar, or resource calendar and specifies default working and nonworking times. In the For Calendar box, select the desired resource and then in the Base Calendar box, select the desired base calendar. For a group of resources that will be using the same calendar, you can change the calendar directly in the Base Calendar column of the Entry table in the Resource Sheet view.

You can customize these or use them as a basis for your own base calendar. You can add this additional information about a resource by attaching a note. Attaching a Note to a Resource In this exercise, you learn how to attach a scheduling note to a resource in Project In the Resource Name column, select the name of the resource 1, Jamie Reding. On the ribbon, click the Resource tab, then click the Resource Notes button in the Properties command group on the ribbon.

The Resource Information dialog box is displayed with the Notes tab visible. In the Notes box, type Jamie on vacation Jan 28 and 29; available for consult at home if necessary and click OK. A note icon appears in the indicator column. Point to the note icon in the Resource sheet.

The note appears in a ScreenTip double-click the icon to display the full text of longer notes. Figure Resource note displayed as a ScreenTip. Which of the following is NOT an example of a work resource?

Competency Assessment Project Hiring a New Employee In the previous lesson, you entered the tasks of a project schedule for hiring a new employee. Now you need to add some of the people resources that will be responsible for performing those tasks.

Enter the following resource names into the Simple Resource Sheet. Project Office Remodel You are in charge of the remodeling project for the kitchen and lunchroom for your office. Your facilities manager has just provided you with the resource pay rates for this project. You need to enter the pay rates in the project schedule. Select the Resource Sheet view. For the drywall resource, click the Type field drop-down arrow and select Material, then press Tab. For the nails resource, click the Type field drop-down arrow and select Material, then press Tab.

Rate field for resource 1, Toby Nixon. Enter the following standard pay rates for the remaining resources. Now you need to add a note to one of the resources on the project. Select the name of resource 3, Amy Rusko. On the Resource ribbon, click the Resource Notes button in the Properties command group.

Not available for any interviews. Close the Resource Information box. Select the name of resource 4, Jeff Smith. Click the Resource Notes button. Available for interviews on November Now you need to add several equipment resources to make sure that your schedule flows smoothly. Change the view to Resource Sheet. Add the following equipment resources to the project schedule.

Resource Name Max. Mastery Assessment Project Change Work Times for a Resource on Office Remodel You have just been told that one of your resources on your office remodel project is planning to take a week of vacation.

You need to add this information to your project schedule. Open the Change Working Time dialog box. Project Don Funk Music Video Problems A student who is interning with your company made some updates to the music video project schedule.

Unfortunately, he is still learning about Microsoft Project and has entered some information incorrectly. You need to correct the problems with the project schedule before distributing it to your team. Review the Resource Sheet for this project schedule. Based on what you have learned in this lesson about Resource Types, Maximum Units, and Standard Rates, find the resource errors in this project schedule and make corrections to them.

Hint: There are three resource errors in the project schedule. Study the last three resources on the sheet. If dry ice is a work resource and bottled water is a cost resource, make corrections to the information given for these resources estimate the rate if necessary. You first mapped out the initial tasks in the project, then identified the resources needed to complete the tasks in the project. You activate the Assign Resources dialog box via the Assign Resources button located in the Assignments group on the Resource ribbon.

Your Assign Resources dialog box should look similar to Figure or , depending upon whether the Resource List options are collapsed or expanded. You can collapse the expanded list by clicking the button, now marked with a minus sign, once again. In this lesson you will use the Assign Resources dialog box and other methods to assign resources. You can assign individual resources to a task or multiple resources to a task at one time. Once assigned, you can track the resource working on the task.

Microsoft Project also enables you to see whether or not resource assignments affect task duration. Making Individual Resource Assignments An assignment is the matching of a specific resource to a particular task, to either perform work or as a material or cost.

Depending on your perspective, you might call it a resource assignment or you might call it a task assignment. In the previous lessons, you mapped out tasks and resources for your project schedule.

In this exercise, you learn how to assign work resources to the tasks they will perform. Click the Resource tab and then click the Assign Resources button in the Assignments group. The Assign Resources dialog box appears.

If the Assign Resources dialog box is covering the task name column, drag the dialog box into the middle of the screen. To access this dialog box, double click on the task you want to assign resources.

In the Task Name column, click the name of task 5, Develop production layouts. Assigning Multiple Resources Simultaneously You have just assigned one resource to a task. In this exercise, you will practice assigning multiple resources simultaneously to a task. Once the resource has been assigned, it is moved to the top of the list. In the Task Name column, click the name of task 4, Develop scene blocking and schedule.

In the Assign Resources dialog box, scroll down and click the name cell for Scott Seely. Scroll up or down in the list until the name Judy Lew is visible. Hold down Ctrl, then click the name cell for Judy Lew. Release the Ctrl key and then click the Assign button. Check marks appear next to the names of Scott Seely and Judy Lew, indicating you have assigned them both to task 4. Move the center divider to the right to allow the Resource Names column to be visible.

Click once on the Resource Name cell for task 6, Identify and reserve locations. Then click the sub-menu arrow at the right of the cell.

In the drop-down list, select the checkboxes for Jeff Pike and Yan Li. Figure Assigning resources using the drop-down list in the Resource Names column Checkmarks indicate the resources assigned to this task 9. Cross Ref Recall that in Lesson 2 you learned that Max. Units referred to the maximum capacity of a resource to accomplish tasks.

You may have noticed that the duration of task number 4 changed from 1 week to 1. Bear in mind that Microsoft Project is using the resource calendars to schedule the tasks. The duration is extended by. The last 8 hours of his portion of the work will not be completed until the following week. The capacity of a resource to work when you assign that resource to a task is measured in units.

Units are recorded in the Max. Units field on the Resource Sheet view. As you are assigning resources, you need to be careful that you do not over-allocate a resource, by assigning it more work than can be done within the normal work capacity of the resource. This may happen if you assign a resource to a task with more units than the resource has available.

Another possibility is that you assign the resource to multiple tasks with schedules that overlap and with combined units that exceed those of the resource. This means that as you assign resources to a task, the duration remains constant and the work value is calculated. The most obvious effect of this scheduling method is that, as you add or remove resources, the work value changes and therefore the costs change.

Adding Work Resources to a Task You have started to define resource assignments for several tasks in your project schedule. Now you will assign additional resources to those tasks. To view work information in each task, you will use a split view. Pay close attention to the results in relation to task duration and work in the split view. Click the View tab. In the Split View group on the ribbon, select the Details checkbox.

The Task Form view appears in the bottom part of your screen. Click the name of task 3, Review screenplay. In the Task Form pane at the bottom of your screen, note the Work value of this task — hours. Click the sub-menu arrow at the right of this cell, then select Jeff Pike.

At the top of the Task Form portion of the screen, click the OK button. Microsoft Project assigns Jeff Pike to task 3. Wowk is the total amount of effort expended to complete a task. Microsoft Project calculates work using a work formula: Work 5 Duration 3 Units. While you have the option of entering and displaying work in different units, by default, work is expressed in hours.

Notice that when you added Jeff to task 3, Microsoft Project calculated his work using the formula above. The total work of the task doubled with the addition of this one resource. Notice also that Project automatically highlighted the duration, which changed as a result of adding Jeff, based on his work schedule.

Click the name of task 5, Develop production layouts. Jeff Pike is the only resource currently assigned to this task, work is calculated at hours and the duration is 1 month. In the Task Form screen click the check box for Effort driven.

On the Ribbon bar, click File, then select Options. On the Project Option dialog box, select Schedule. Navigate down to Scheduling options for this project and clear or select the New tasks are Effort driven check box. To change effort-driven scheduling for a single task or group of tasks, select the desired task s.

Click the Task ribbon and then in the Properties group, select the Information button. Select the Advanced tab of the Multiple Task Information dialog box. Clear or select the Effort driven check box.

Click once in the blank cell below Jeff Pike. From the drop-down menu, select Brenda Diaz. Then click the OK button at the upper portion of the Task Form screen. Notice that the duration has been changed to. In this instance you applied effort-driven scheduling, which tells Microsoft Project to hold the work value constant and change the duration when resources are added or removed.

Similar to the work formula but in the context of duration, the duration formula is used in effort-driven scheduling. In an effort-driven task, the work value is held steady and the variable is units. In the example you used in the previous exercise, hours was the work value with one resource assigned. So, Duration 5 80 hours or. An Actions tag is an indicator that signals the user of a change, additional information, formatting options, etc. In Project , the Actions tag appears mainly when changes to units, duration, or work occurs.

The Actions tag will appear only when certain methods are used to apply changes, such as adding resources with the Assign Resources dialog box. The Actions tag only remains available until you perform your next action. In the Gantt Chart portion of the view, click on the name of task 5, Develop production layouts.

Hold down Ctrl then locate and click Brad Sutton. Release the Ctrl key. Click the Assign button. These two resources are added to the task. In addition, an Actions tag appears to the left of the task name column. Click the Actions tag button. A list of options regarding how you want to handle this additional resource is displayed. For example, if you assigned resources in the Task Form on an effort-driven task, the Actions tag would not appear in the Gantt Chart portion of the view.

Select Increase the amount of work but keep the same duration. Click the name of task 6, Identify and reserve locations. Take note of the work data in the Task Form pane hours total. Hold down Ctrl, click Ryan Ihrig. Release the Ctrl key then click the Assign button.

Microsoft Project assigns Annete and Ryan to the task. Because this task is using the default settings, Microsoft Project increases the total work value and keeps the task duration constant. You have determined that this task does not require a full-time effort because these two additional resources will take over some of the administrative functions.

Select: Reduce the hours resources work per day units , but keep the same duration and work. Figure Split view showing details of task information after a resource addition Units and Work information recalculated after selecting the Actions option to reduce hours per day 68 Lesson 3 Click the Close button in the Assign Resources dialog box.

Using effort-driven scheduling, Microsoft Project will maintain that work amount as the total effort required to perform that task until you tell it otherwise. In this mode, Microsoft Project performs the work calculation at the FIRST work resource assignment, regardless of the number of work resources assigned i. In general, if you have one resource working full-time on a task, the amount of work effort will match the duration.

If your resource is not working full-time, or if you assign more than one resource to a task, then work and duration will not be equal. You can now see the benefit of creating task relationships rather than setting start or finish dates. Because effort-driven scheduling results in decreased task durations, Microsoft Project adjusts the start dates of successor tasks that did not have a constraint such as a start or finish date.

It is important to remember that effort-driven scheduling adjusts task duration only if you add or delete resources from a task. Whether or not to use effort-driven scheduling is a topic for discussion with your organization. It has both benefits and risks. Although applying more resources to your tasks may reduce their duration on paper, this may not be possible in a real-world situation. For example, if one resource could complete a task in 20 hours, could 20 resources complete the task in one hour?

What about 40 resources in 30 minutes? Additional coordination might be needed. For complex tasks, a resource might need specialized training before it could be productive.

There is no exact rule about when you should or should not apply effort-driven scheduling. As a project manager, you need to review the requirements of your project tasks and use your best reasoning. Most projects use at least some material resources. When you assign material resources to tasks, Microsoft Project can track their consumption and cost.

In the Task Name column, click the name of task 6, Identify and reserve locations. Type 8, and then click the Assign button. If the Assign Resources dialog box is covering the scroll bars for the Gantt bar portion of your screen, drag the dialog box into the middle of the screen.

Scroll the Gantt bar portion of your screen so that the right end of the bar for task 6 is visible. You will use eight DVDs while identifying locations for this video. In the Assign Resources dialog box, click Close. This is what you did in the preceding exercise. Microsoft Project then multiplied the unit cost of the resource by the number of units to calculate the total cost. Microsoft Project will 70 Lesson 3 adjust the quantity and cost of the resource as the duration of the task changes.

You will assign a material resource using this method in Lesson 6. Cross Ref You will learn more about resource consumption rates in Lesson 6. A cost resource represents a financial obligation to your project.

Once you assign the cost resource to the task, you can then assign the cost for the resource. Assigning a Cost Resource to a Task In this exercise, you assign cost resources to two different tasks. Click the Assign Resources button in the Assignments group. Scroll up or down in the Gantt view and in the Task Name column, click the name of task 17, Scene 1 rehearsal. In the Cost column for the Food resource, type and press Enter. Click on the name of task 25, Scene 2 rehearsal. If you assign a resource to a task with more units than the resource has available, then the resource is a.

Microsoft and Wiley teamed up to produce a series of textbooks that deliver compelling and innovative teaching solutions to instructors and superior learning experiences for students.

Infused and informed by in-depth knowledge from the creators of Microsoft Office and Windows, and crafted by a publisher known worldwide for the pedagogical quality of its products, these textbooks maximize skills transfer in minimum time. Students are challenged to reach their potential by using their new technical skills as highly productive members of the workforce. With MOAC, we rec- ognize that, because of the rapid pace of change in the technology and curriculum developed by Microsoft, there is an ongoing set of needs beyond classroom instruction tools for an instructor to be ready to teach the course.

The MOAC program endeavors to provide solutions for all these needs in a systematic manner in order to ensure a successful and rewarding course experience for both instructor and student—technical and curriculum training for instructor readiness with new software releases; the software itself for student use at home for building hands-on skills, assess- ment, and validation of skill development; and a great set of tools for delivering instruction in the classroom and lab. All are important to the smooth delivery of an interesting course on Microsoft software, and all are provided with the MOAC program..

Presenting the extensive procedural information and technical concepts woven throughout the text- book raises challenges for the student and instructor alike. More than a standard list of learning objec- tives, the skill matrix correlates each software skill covered in the lesson to the specific MOS exam objective domain. This feature provides an overview of the soft- ware features students will be working with in the lesson.

The orientation will detail the general properties of the software or specific features, such as a ribbon or dialog box; and it includes a large, labeled screen image. Numbered steps give detailed, step-by-step instructions to help students learn software skills. The steps also show results and screen images to match what students should see on their computer screens. The images reinforce key concepts, provide visual clues about the steps, and allow students to check their progress.

These resources provide all the materials instructors need to deploy and deliver their courses. However, your instructor might ask you to copy the practice files on your own at the start of class. Also, if you want to work through any of the exercises in this book on your own at home or at your place of business after class, you may want to copy the practice files.

He has also been an English professor, an editor, a network administrator, a webmaster, a corporate trainer, a technical support engineer, a minicomputer operator, a literature and philosophy student, a library clerk, a photographic darkroom technician, a shipping clerk, and a newspaper boy. He lives in a little house with his beautiful wife and a neurotic cat. Microsoft Office Software This content was created using the Office Professional desktop version.

If you have signed up for Office , some features may be added or updated. When you open a blank document in Microsoft Word , you see a screen similar to that shown in Figure Document title Microsoft account sign-in Collapse ribbon Figure Quick access Microsoft Word toolbar Opening screen Ribbon Document page Insertion point Status bar Zoom slider Microsoft has designed the Word UI to provide easy access to the commands you need most often when creating and editing documents.

Use Figure as a reference throughout this lesson as well as the rest of this book. The appearance of Microsoft Word is similar to Word and Word , but with more enhanced features. It contains a customized Office Background that appears above the Ribbon, live access to your OneDrive account, an option to work in Read Mode, tab text that appears blue when active, a blue background for the status bar, and many more exciting new features.

When you first launch Word, it opens with the Recent screen displayed. This screen enables you to create a new blank document or a document from a template.

And when you exit a document and return later, Word resumes where you left off. Starting Word In this exercise, you learn how to start Word using Windows In Windows 10, clicking the Start button displays the Start menu see Figure On this menu, you can choose which application to launch by using your mouse or, if you have a touch-screen monitor, by tapping the application you want to launch.

The Start menu provides access to mail, OneDrive, Microsoft Edge , photos, games, music, video, and of course the latest version of the Microsoft Office applications. On tablets with Windows Mobile and the Office applications installed, you can customize the interface the same way as your Start menu. One of the differences between the Word Web App and the Word application installed on your computer is the number of features available. The Word Web App enables you to create, open, and edit documents with only the most basic commands.

It is a wonderful way to create a simple document and share it. The main advantage of using the Word application installed on your computer is having full access to all the features needed to create a professional-looking document. If you use the Word Web App, you will not be able to complete all of the exercises in this book, because it does not include all of the Word features. Microsoft has a cloud-based storage space known as OneDrive. Microsoft provides users with free online storage space, enabling you to manage your documents from anywhere and share them with anyone.

Before you can use OneDrive, however, you must create a Microsoft account profile. Once you create your account, you will find it easy to manage and share your documents. Windows 10 works seamlessly with Office When you are logged on to your Microsoft account, the account name appears in the upper-right corner of each Office application and you have access to the files you have stored in your OneDrive space. This makes it easy for you to continue working on your documents at any computer and reminds you where you left off.

To begin using Word , locate the Word icon and click it using the left mouse button or, if you are using a touch-screen monitor, tap the icon. When Word is launched, the program opens with the Word screen see Figure On the left side of the screen under Recent, you see a list of documents that have been accessed recently. The right window pane displays a blank document page and several templates to create customized documents. To create a blank document, click the Blank document page and Word will open a new document.

Understanding Word 3 The blinking insertion point in the upper-left corner of this document is where you begin creating your text. Take Note The lessons in this book are created using the Windows 10 operating system. If your computer is running the Windows 8.

On the Windows 10 desktop, click the Start button. The Start menu appears see Figure Figure Start menu Start Word 2. On the Start menu, locate Word and click the icon. The Word screen appears see Figure On the left side of the screen, you see the recent documents that have been accessed, and the right side displays the blank document page and templates.

Take Note Windows 10 is for PC users at home, work, and school. Windows 10 is the latest operating system standard for computers, laptops, and tablets. Windows 10 also comes in multiple versions, such as Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, to support your personal needs and how you use your device. Windows 10 supports touch-capable devices in addition to traditional mouse and keyboard commands. In this section, you learn how to locate and use the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar to access Word commands.

A command is an instruction based on an action that you perform in Word by clicking a button or entering information into a command box. Using the Ribbon In Word , the Ribbon contains multiple commands on separate tabs. Microsoft has assigned each of its Office applications with a color. Word is symbolized with the color blue and active tab text is blue. Each tab contains several groups, or collections of related Word com- mands. Each group contains one or more command icons, some of which have a drop-down menu or a list of options associated with them; you click the drop-down arrow to display the menu.

Some groups have a dialog box launcher—a small arrow in the lower-right corner of the group—that you click to launch a dialog box that displays additional options or informa- tion you can use to execute a command.

In this exercise, you learn to use the Ribbon by making tabs active, hiding and displaying command groups, and using the dialog box launcher and drop-down arrows. In the Office programs, the Ribbon is contextual, which means it displays commands related to the type of document or object that you have open and onscreen. Click the Blank document icon to create a new document file. The Ribbon is located at the top of the Word screen. In your newly opened document, the Home tab is the default tab on the Ribbon, as shown in Figure Review the other tabs on the Ribbon and review each group associated with the tab, and identify the arrows that launch a dialog box if present.
