Hello again and welcome back to our course on Word 2013. In this section, we’re going to carry on looking at some of the basics of the Word workspace and also I’m just going to show you one of the other ways of starting Word. If you’re on Windows 8 and you’re using the Start Screen, there will be a tile for Word 2013 like this one. If you’re using a touch screen, you just touch once on the tile and Word starts up in the usual way. And one of the things you’ll notice differently this time is that our Recent Files list now has one file in it. It says Hello World.docx. If I wanted to open that one again I just click on that, the file opens, and it’s ready for me to do some more work on it.

Now let’s take a look at some of the other features of the Word 2013 workspace. I’ve already mentioned the title bar at the top with the name of the document in it. On the left of that is a sequence of buttons, that’s called the Quick Access Toolbar and we’re going to be looking at that in detail in a couple of sections time. Below that across the width of the whole screen is the Ribbon. And again, the Ribbon we’re going to spend quite a bit of time on later on. The words you can see: Insert, Design, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, View these correspond to the tabs of the Ribbon. And if I click on one of those, like Insert, the Ribbon has a different appearance with that tab selected. And each of these tabs gives you different contents, a different appearance.

In the top right hand corner of the screen are a number of buttons, some of them we’re going to talk about in detail later on, like the Help button. But the three on the right are pretty much the standard Windows buttons: Close, Maximize, and Minimize. And of course, if you have the screen maximized this button, the button becomes a restore button which will put it back to the not maximized state, to the size it is at this time.

Right at the bottom of the screen is what’s called the status bar. And again, we’re going to talk about the status bar in some detail later on. The bottom right hand corner of the screen on the status bar there are a number of zoom controls and mode controls. And again, more on those later on.

So let’s now go back into Backstage View and look at some of the options there because some of those are extremely important. Many of these we’ll cover in a lot of detail later on, but let’s just look at the important ones. Info, the first tab, and to access each of these you either click or tap on the name of the page here, so the Info tab. There’s information there about document protection and document inspection, which we’ll look at later on. But over on the right, we have Document Properties and these give the properties of the document that we’re currently working on. There’s some technical information like the size of the document and the number of pages, the number of words in it, the total amount of editing time, and then dates to do with when it was created, when it was last modified. And then we have things like the author, that’s me, who last modified it, that’s me.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
