Hello and welcome to our course on Microsoft Word 2013. My name is Toby and I’m your instructor on this course.
Word 2013 is the latest version of Microsoft’s word processing package Word. For several years Microsoft Word really has been the leading word processing package around the world. There are many, many millions of users of Microsoft Word.

In past times, there have been other very strong word processing packages like Word Perfect. And nowadays there are some strong competitors to Word, such as the word processing components of Open Office. But in terms of sheer volume of use, number of users, and the significant position that Word has in everyday business in every corner of the globe, really Microsoft Word is by a long way the leader. And Word 2013 is the latest in a line of versions of the products which pretty much corresponds to a new version of Word every three or four years.

So let me talk for a minute or two about who the course is for. I really have, I suppose, three target audiences in this course. First of all, I want to target people who are completely new to Word, who’ve never used Word before, maybe who haven’t even used a word processing package before. I want to make sure that you can begin with a very basic knowledge and get up to be a competent user of Microsoft Word. Now I am assuming that you’re familiar with using Windows software in general and I won’t be explaining terms like what a Window is, what a dialog is, how to use a scroll bar or how to click a button. I will assume throughout that you’re sufficiently familiar with Windows-based software that you can use a Windows application in general before we start.

The second target audience I have are people who’ve used Word before but perhaps quite an old version, something like Word 2000 or Word 2003. These users won’t have used the Ribbon Interface before. So I’m going to explain a little bit about the use of the Ribbon Interface early on and then hopefully with your earlier knowledge of the use of Word, you’ll be able to pick up everything else pretty quickly. The third group of users really are people who have used one of the newer versions of Word, 2007 or 2010.

Now for those users they’ll be familiar with the Ribbon Interface, but I do need to warn them that the Ribbon Interface has changed a little in 2013 partly because it’s now intended to support touch use as well as keyboard and mouse use. So there’s probably quite a bit there for you to consider and I’ll be going over how to use the Ribbon with touch as well as using the conventional user interface devices.
