Introduction to Microsoft Word
2004 for Macintosh
Launch Word 2004
You launch Word 2004 on the MACINTOSH by clicking the Word icon on the
DOCK. Here is a screen picture of that portion of the dock that contains
the Word icon (a W). When you hover your cursor over this icon, you see
the words Microsoft Word above it.
When you first launch WORD, you see the IMAGE GALLERY shown above. In the lower right of the IMAGE
GALLERY screen, you see in the SHOW box that ALL OFFICE DOCUMENTS are selected and displayed, with a
Word document highlighted. You could click the OPEN button to open a Word document here, but if you
want the PROJECT GALLERY to show only Word documents, click the down arrow at the right of the SHOW
box and select WORD DOCUMENTS. You would see, in the PROJECT GALLEY window, three WORD documents
displayed. The center one is highlighted.
To start a blank document, click OPEN.
Notice also the panel on the left that displays a list of groups of documents. If you want to use a template, for example, you would click the group named “My Templates.” At the top of the PROJECT GALLERY
window, you see tabs that you use to open templates or existing documents. Click the LEARN tab to see
some Word samples as well as a selection named DISCOVERING OFFICE. Review this document for some
help with the new OFFICE 2004.
When you first open a
blank Word 2004 document,
you see the Word Opening
Screen. Note the illustration
at the right.
At the top, you see the
menu bar, and below that is
the STANDARD toolbar. Below
the STANDARD toolbar you
see the document window.
You can have more than
one document open at a
time.
At the top of the document
window, you see a bar called
the TITLE bar, which shows
the title of the document in
the center. At the left end of
the TITLE bar, note the three
small buttons. The red one
is the CLOSE button, the
yellow one in the center is
the MINIMIZE button, and the green one is the ZOOM button. You
can close this document by using the CLOSE button (this does not
close the application), and you can minimize it by clicking the
YELLOW button. Its icon appears at the right side of the DOCK.
At the far left of the MENU bar is the APPLE menu. The APPLE menu
is always the same no matter what application is open.
Next is the menu that is named for the application you are using,
which in this case is Word. See a screen picture of the Word menu,
illustrated at the right. You would use the QUIT WORD command
on this menu when you want to quit the WORD application.
Notice that the keyboard shortcut for quitting WORD is
COMMAND+Q. There is no red close button for closing Word.
On the MENU bar, when you are using WORD, the next menu is the
FILE menu, which has to do with starting a new document, opening and closing a document, saving a document, and printing a document.

Identifying a Document
Type and creator codes were used
in older versions of Macintosh
operating systems to keep track of
which program created a document.
In Mac OS X, there are many
documents that do not have type
and creator codes, and that is
because the current operating
system is a MAC/UNIX hybrid. In
UNIX, what determines which
program opens when you doubleclick a document is a file name
extension, just as in the WINDOWS
Operating System. A file name
extension is identified by a threeletter suffix following a period at
the end of the main part of the
name of the file.
You need to be aware of how files
are named. Because the Macintosh
Tiger operating system (10.4) is a
Macintosh/Unix hybrid, it uses
both invisible, four-letter creator
codes and type codes (as Mac OS
9) and file name suffixes (like
Windows). The operating system
looks for type and creator codes
first, and where they are absent, the file name suffixes are used. If this information is lacking, then the file
will not open in an application when you double-click the file. If you know what application created the
file, you can start the application, and then you can open the file in that application.
Show File Name Extensions
1. Choose PREFERENCES on the FINDER menu. See picture of the PREFERENCES dialog at top right.
2. Notice the settings that are available in the
dialog. Click THE ADVANCED BUTTON.
4. The ADVANCED dialog displays.
Click to turn on SHOW ALL FILE
EXTENSIONS. When SHOW ALL FILE
EXTENSIONS is selected, notice that
files that you create in, for example
Word, will have the file extension
.d
oocc automatically appended to
.do
the file name.

The Menus
Menu items fall into three basic types:
• An item followed by no marking starts an action when selected.
• An item followed by an ellipsis (...) opens a dialog box on another window.
• An item followed by a right-pointing arrow displays a submenu when selected.
MENU commands which are grayed are not available for use at the time for one reason or another.
Notice that keyboard shortcuts are displayed following many menu commands. Many people like to use
keyboard shortcuts for often-used commands to save time.
Mouse terminology and actions:

Point
pointer is in the text area, it looks like an I-beam. When the mouse pointer is in the menus, ruler, or
a toolbar, it looks like a pointer.
Keyboard key instructions:
When keyboard instructions tell you to press keys which are connected by a plus sign (+) hold down
the first key then quickly press the second key and release both keys. If three keys are connected by plus
signs, hold down the first two keys and quickly press the third key then release all keys.
The Standard Toolbar
The STANDARD toolbar, normally anchored beneath the MENU bar, contains many commands that are
found on the menus. Clicking an icon on this toolbar is faster than using a menu. To know the action of
each icon, hover your cursor over the icon and see the explanation. See a screen picture of the STANDARD
toolbar below.
The Formatting Toolbar
You can use the FORMATTING toolbar as a quick way to apply some of the most-used character or paragraph formatting options. The first text box on the left shows the style of the text on which the cursor
rests. The FORMATTING toolbar is positioned just beneath the STANDARD toolbar.
The Status Bar
The status bar, which is a horizontal bar in WORD (located at the bottom of the document window),
provides information about the current state of what you are viewing in the window. Some of the items
shown on the STATUS bar, from left to right are:

Displaying Screen Items
Display a list of toolbars
You can choose the TOOLBARS command on the VIEW menu to display the list of toolbars. Check marks
will appear next to the toolbars currently displayed. Click on a check mark to deselect a toolbar or click
to select and display an unchecked toolbar.
Display or hide the Rulers
WORD offers a horizontal ruler in NORMAL view and both horizontal
and vertical rulers in PAGE LAYOUT view. To toggle the display of the
ruler on and off, choose the RULER command on the VIEW menu. The
ruler can be helpful in setting margins, indents, and tabs.
Understanding Document Views
In the full VIEW menu (which is depicted at the right), WORD lists the
following views: NORMAL, ONLINE LAYOUT, Page LAYOUT, OUTLINE, and
NOTEBOOK LAYOUT.
In addition to the VIEW menu, Word provides VIEW icons at the lower
left of the screen, just above the STATUS BAR at the left of the horizontal scroll bar. From left to right, the following
views are provided by these icons: NORMAL,
OUTLINE, PAGE LAYOUT, and NOTEBOOK LAYOUT.
Normal View
Normal View is convenient for most editing and formatting tasks. In
NORMAL view you don’t see page boundaries, headers, footers, footnotes, backgrounds, objects, and page numbers.
Online Layout View
In this view, you see backgrounds, text that is wrapped to fit the
window, and graphics positioned just as they are in a Web browser.
Page 5
Print Layout View
In this view, you can see how objects will be positioned on the printed page. It is useful for editing
headers and footers, adjusting margins, working with columns, and drawing objects. When working with
tables, avoid using this view unless you have sufficient memory on your computer.
Outline View
Work in OUTLINE view to look at a document’s structure and to move, copy, and reorganize text by
dragging headings. In Outline view, you can collapse a document to see only the main headings, or you
can expand it to see all headings and even body text. In this view, page boundaries, headers and footers,
graphics, and backgrounds do not appear. It is handy to use this view to create an outline for a
PowerPoint presentation.
Notebook Layout View
Use NOTEBOOK layout view to take notes as you would with a regular notebook. You can click and start
typing notes anywhere in the page, and note flags to highlight important points and link an audio
recording to the notes that you type.
The Zoom Command
In any of Word’s views, you can use the ZOOM command to increase or decrease the size of the display.
You can set any ZOOM percentage between 10% and 500% of full size. The ZOOM command is found on
the VIEW menu. When you choose this command, the ZOOM Dialog box displays (see a screen picture of it
below). In the ZOOM TO section, choose the zoom percentage you want: 200%, 100%, 75%, or PAGE
WIDTH.
Page 6
TEXT WIDTH, WHOLE PAGE, or MANY PAGES are available only in PRINT LAYOUT view. In the PERCENT box, you
can set the zoom percent from 10% to 500%. Shortcut Keys for Paragraph and Character Formatting
Use the Zoom Box
Make sure the STANDARD toolbar is visible and click the button (with a downpointing arrow) at the right of the ZOOM box (which displays the percentage
of zoom you are currently using) and you see a drop-down list of zoom
percentages. Choose a zoom percentage from the drop-down list or type in a
different percentage.
Page Setup
Choose PAGE SETUP on the FILE menu, and you see the PAGE SETUP dialog box with the PAGE ATTRIBUTES
page showing the following selection boxes:
•
Seettings
tt
ing
tting
ingss:
This selection box lists the following choices when you click the arrow at the end of the box: CUSTOM
PAPER SIZE. This setting allows you to specify paper sizes that are not standard. You can only specify
paper sizes that can be used in your printer.
MICROSOFT WORD. The default for this setting is the 8.5 by 11 inch setting. If you have a printer that
has a tray into which you can manually feed paper, you can use a legal size setting (8.5 x 14).
SAVE AS DEFAULT. Do not use this to change the default setting on any Macintosh in the HUB. You can
save a setting of your own choosing for your Macintosh that only you use.

Page Setup for Microsoft Word
In the PAGE
SETUP dialog,
click the arrow
at the right end
of the SETTINGS
selection box
and choose
Microsoft Word.
The PAGE SETUP
dialog for
Microsoft Word
displays. On this
dialog, you can
choose whether
the page settings
will apply to the
whole document
or from this point in the document forward.
Document Margins
Clicking the MARGINS button on the PAGE SETUP FOR MICROSOFT WORD dialog displays the DOCUMENT
MARGINS dialog. You can also display this dialog by choosing the DOCUMENT command on the FORMAT
menu in Microsoft Word.
At the left side of the dialog, you can set these page margins: TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, and RIGHT.
You can also set a GUTTER measurement. A gutter setting allows extra margin space on the left side of an
odd numbered page or on the right side of an even-numbered page of a document or a section of a
document that is to be duplex printed (printed on the front and back of a single page).
In addition, you can specify the space from the top and bottom edge of a page at which a header and/or a
footer will print. The default setting of one-half inch works well with most printers. You should not try
to print at less than one-third of an inch from the paper edge. Remember to allow enough margin space
Page 8
to accommodate any headers
or footers.
If you are using a 12-point
font in your document, then
each line will measure (vertically) about one-sixth of an
inch. A one-line header or
footer will fit well within a
one-inch top or bottom
margin. If you, however, plan
to use a two-line header or
footer, then you will have to
increase the top and/or
bottom measurement to
accommodate this.
If you want to change the
default margin settings for all
new documents, type in the
margin settings and press the
DEFAULT... button at the lower
left of the MARGINS page of
the DOCUMENT dialog. Please
change the default settings onl
nlyy on your own computer.
Document Layout
On the DOCUMENT dialog, select the LAYOUT button. In the LAYOUT dialog, you will see areas for making the
following settings: SECTION START, HEADERS AND FOOTERS, VERTICAL ALIGNMENT, SUPPRESS ENDNOTES, LINE
NUMBERS AND BORDERs. The dialog offers you a small preview of a document as it changes with your
settings, and you can specify if the changes apply to the whole document or other pages or sections.

then select DIFFERENT FIRST PAGE.
The selection of DIFFERENT ODD AND EVEN pages for a Header and/or Footer is appropriate for a document
that will be duplex printed (the odd pages printed on the front side of the page with the even pages
printed on the back of the page).

To add a border to an entire paragraph, click anywhere in the paragraph.
To place a border around text, select just the text.
Use the BORDERS AND SHADING command on the FORMAT menu.
Select the settings you want.
On the APPLY TO pop-up menu, click PARAGRAPH or TEXT.
To specify the exact position of the border relative to the text, click PARAGRAPH on the APPLY TO pop-up
menu, click OPTIONS, and then select the settings you want.
Page 10
6. To remove a paragraph border, click in the paragraph, and then in the BORDERS dialog, under SETTING,
click NONE.
Be careful in applying a border to a paragraph and make sure the paragraph with the border does not fall
across a page break. A border is a paragraph property that flows with the paragraph. When a paragraph
with a border splits across a page break, the border splits as well. To keep the paragraph border in one
piece, reposition the entire paragraph the border surrounds on one page.
Using Shading
On the BORDERS AND SHADING dialog, click the SHADING tab. To add shading to a table, a paragraph, or
selected text:
1. Do one of the following:
• To add shading to a table, click anywhere in the table.
• To add shading to specific cells, select the cells, including the end-of-cell marks.
• To add shading to a paragraph, click anywhere in the paragraph.
• To add shading to specific text, such as a word, select the text.
2. On the FORMAT menu, click BORDERS AND SHADING, and then click the SHADING tab.
3. Select the settings you want.
4. On the APPLY TO pop-up menu, click the part of the document that you want to apply shading to. For
example, if you clicked a cell without selecting it in step 1, click CELL. Otherwise, Word applies the
shading to the entire table.
Note You can use the TABLE AUTOFORMAT command to add borders and shading to a table automatically.
Page 11
The Shading Dialog
Using Headers and Footers
Headers (which print in the top margins of pages) and footers (which print in the bottom margins of
pages) can include graphics as well as text. You can use the same header and footer throughout a document or different ones on odd and even pages. You can omit a header and/or footer on the first page.
To include a header or footer in your document, choose the HEADER AND FOOTER command on the VIEW
menu. Word displays a window in which to type the header, as well as the HEADER AND FOOTER toolbar.
You can work with headers and footers only in PAGE LAYOUt view. If you choose this command from
other views, such as the NORMAL view, WORD will switch you to PAGE LAYOUT view; and when you leave
the header or footer area, WORD will return you to the previous view.
The Header and Footer Toolbar
The toolbar buttons, contains icons which, when clicked, provide certain features relating to headers and
footers. The icons from left to right:

INSERT AUTOTEXT. This provides a drop-down menu of
canned header and footer text. See a screen picture of this
drop-down menu at the right. The selections offered can
be very helpful if used in either a header or footer. The
text, Page X of Y, is used if it is necessary to identify the
page number (X) and the number of pages (Y).
INSERT PAGE NUMBER. Inserts a code for the current page
number at the insertion point.
INSERT NUMBER OF PAGES. Inserts a code for the number of
pages in the document.
FORMAT PAGE NUMBER. Use this button to display the PAGE
NUMBER FORMAT dialog box.
INSERT DATE. Inserts a code for the current date in the
document.
INSERT TIME. Inserts a code for the current time in the
document.
DIFFERENT FRONT PAGE. Use when you want a different or no
header on the front page.
DIFFERENT ODD AND EVEN PAGES. Use when you want a
different header or footer on odd and even pages.
DOCUMENT LAYOUT. When you select this icon, you are switched to the DOCUMENT LAYOUT dialog.
SWITCH BETWEEN HEADER AND FOOTER. Moves the insertion point between header and footer.
SAME AS PREVIOUS. Makes current header or footer the same as in previous section.
SHOW PREVIOUS. Moves insertion point to the header or footer in the previous section (if there is one)
or previous page (if you are using a different header or footer on the first page or different headers
and footers for odd and even pages).
SHOW NEXT. Moves insertion point to header or footer in the next section or next page.
GOTO. Use this icon to move to a header or footer in another section of the document.
CLOSE HEADER OR FOOTER. Closes the header or footer panes.
Paragraph Formatting
Setting Indents and Spacing
You can display the PARAGRAPH Dialog box by placing your insertion point in a paragraph you want to
format, right-clicking (CONTROL-clicking with a one-button mouse) and choosing PARAGRAPH from the
context menu or by choosing the PARAGRAPH command on the FORMAT menu. Click the INDENTS AND
SPACING tab. The INDENTS AND SPACING dialog displays.
In the ALIGNMENT box, you can choose LEFT, CENTERED, RIGHT, or JUSTIFIED.
In the OUTLINE LEVEL box, the default setting for the OUTLINE level for a paragraph is BODY TEXT. Use outline levels when you don’t want to change the appearance of your text (the heading styles apply specific
Page 13
formatting, while the
outline levels apply an
“invisible” format). You
can choose from LEVEL 1 to
LEVEL 9.
In the INDENTATION section,
set paragraph indents from
the left margin with the
LEFT box and from the right
margin with the RIGHT box.
The settings are in inches
or fractions of an inch.
The SPECIAL box selections
are: NONE, FIRST LINE, or
HANGING. NONE is the
default, and this setting
adds no additional indent
from the left and right
margin settings. FIRST LINE
adds an indent to the first
line of the paragraph. The
first line indent is in
addition to the LEFT indent
setting. The first line of a
paragraph is indented by
the measurement (in
inches or fractions of an inch) you enter.
HANGING makes the first line of the paragraph hang out to the left of the rest of the paragraph. Hanging
indents are used for bulleted or numbered paragraphs—the bullet or number hangs out to the left of the
paragraph, and the wrapped lines of the paragraph align neatly with the tabbed first line of the text. It is
helpful to have your tabs set in advance.
In the SPACING section, you can adjust the amount of space before and/or after paragraphs, which will
give your documents a professional look. Instead of entering two carriage returns at the ends of paragraphs to provide space between them, in the SPACING section of the PARAGRAPH dialog box, type in the
spacing in points you want in the AFTER box. Remember that one point is 1/72 of an inch (vertical measurement). If you are using a 12-point font, you should use a 6-point setting as the “After” paragraph
setting. This will give you about half the space between paragraphs that you would have with a double
carriage return. It is ample space to separate paragraphs and appears more professional.
If you have a document with main headings or subheadings, you may want to specify some space before
and/or after these headings, measured in points. Remember that spacing before a paragraph is added to
spacing after the paragraph that precedes it. For example, if the previous paragraph has an AFTER setting
of 6 points, and you specify a BEFORE setting of 6 points for the current paragraph, you will have a spacing between these paragraphs of 12 points.
Page 14
Setting Line Spacing
In the SPACING section, use the LINE SPACING drop-down list to choose the line spacing you want:
• SINGLE spacing is based on the point size of the font.
• 1.5 LINES spacing is based on the point size of the font.
• DOUBLE spacing is based on the point size of the font.
• AT LEAST sets a minimum spacing for the lines, measured in points.
• EXACTLY sets the exact spacing for the lines, measured in points.
• MULTIPLE line spacing is set by the number in the AT box.
Controlling Line and Page Breaks
Word 2004 automatically inserts page breaks when a page fills with text or graphics. You may want to
automatically control pagination for certain circumstances. Click the LINE AND PAGE BREAKS tab of the
PARAGRAPh dialog box. In the PAGINATION section:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Choose WIDOW/ORPHAN
control to prevent widows
(single lines that appear at
the top of a page) or
orphans (single lines that
appear at the bottom of a
page).
Choose KEEP LINES TOGETHER
after you have selected the
paragraphs that contain
lines you want to keep
together.
Choose KEEP WITH NEXT
after you have selected the
paragraphs you want to
keep together on a page.
Choose PAGE BREAK BEFORE
after you have selected a
paragraph that you want to
follow a page break.
To suppress line numbers
in a section of text (such as
headings or blank lines)
that contains line numbers,
select the paragraphs for
which you want to skip line
numbers, and then click
the SUPPRESS LINE NUMBERS
check box.
Click the check box, DON’T HYPHENATE, to turn off hyphenation.
Page 15
Setting a manual Page Break
You may want to begin a new page without filling up the current page by manually inserting a page
break:
1. Place your insertion point after the text you want to end your current page.
2. Drop down the INSERT menu and choose the BREAK command.
3. Choose PAGE BREAK from the submenu that appears.
Delete a Page Break
Follow these steps to delete a manually inserted page break.
1. In NORMAL view, see the dotted line across the page with PAGE BREAK in the center of the line.

Drop down the INSERT menu and choose the FILE command.
Find the file you want to insert, highlight that file and click on the INSERT button.
This is a good procedure to use if you are provided Word files by colleagues who have applied paragraph
and character formatting different from the formatting you use. When you insert such a file into one
containing your own formatting, the document you insert will now have the formatting of the document
into which it was inserted.
Page 16
Inserting Page Numbers (without Headers & Footers)
To insert just
the page numbers in a document, drop
down the INSERT
menu and
choose the PAGE
NUMBERS command. The PAGE
NUMBERS dialog
displays. See the
POSITION and
ALIGNMENT
boxes which
allow you to
specify the
position on the
page for the page numbers and also
how they are to be aligned.
Click the FORMAT button to see the
PAGE NUMBER FORMAT dialog. In the
top section, you can specify the
number format, whether you want to
include the chapter number within
the page number, and if so, you can
select the separator to use. When
satisfied with your settings, click the
OK button.
SettingTabs
Word offers five kinds of tabs: LEFTALIGNED, CENTERED, RIGHT-ALIGNED,
DECIMAL-ALIGNED, and BAR. To set tabs
for one paragraph, position your
insertion point within that paragraph. To set tabs for more than one
paragraph, select all the text you want
to be affected by the tabs. You can
also insert tab settings into styles. The
default tab settings are a left-tab set at each one-half inch.
Use the Ruler to set Tabs
To use the RULER to set tabs, click on the tab
selector button at the far left of the horizontal
Page 17
ruler. You will see a small menu drop down (see the screen picture of this
small menu at the right) listing the different tabs you can set. Select the tab
type you want, and then click on the ruler at the position you want to set
the tab. To remove a tab, click and drag the tab from the ruler down into the
document.
Use the Tabs dialog to set Tabs
If you click on the TABS command on this menu, the TABS dialog displays.
You can also open the TABS dialog by choosing the TABS command on the
FORMAT menu.
The Tabs Dialog
Use this dialog to specify precise measurements for tabs and for tab leaders. Type in the tab setting in the
TAB STOP POSITION box (or select it in the list below the box), In the ALIGNMENT section, click the desired
tab alignment. In the LEADER section, click NONE if you do not want a tab leader. If you do want a tab
leader, you can choose the dots, dashes, or underline. As you set each tab, click on the SET button, and
then proceed to set other tabs, clicking on the SET button for each tab you set.
Page 18
If you make a mistake, it is easy to highlight that tab position and click the CLEAR button to clear that tab.
Use the TABS dialog box to set tab leaders, and then, if you need to adjust the tab positions later, you can
do it easily in the RULER. When finished, click the OK button.
Moving the Insertion Point
