Introduction
Microsoft Word 2013 is a word-processing program that is used to create professional-looking
documents such as reports, resumes, letters, memos, and newsletters. It includes many powerful
tools that can be used to easily create and edit documents, and collaborate with others. This
handout provides an overview of the Word 2013 user interface and covers how to perform basic
tasks such as starting and exiting the program; creating, saving, opening, closing, editing,
formatting, and printing documents; applying styles; and getting help.
Starting Word
You can start Word 2013 from the Start menu (in Windows 7) or by double-clicking an existing
Word file. When you start the program without opening a specific file, the Start screen appears,
prompting you to open an existing document or create a new document.
To start Word 2013 from the Start menu:
1. Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Microsoft Office 2013, and then click
Word 2013. The Start screen appears.
2. In the right pane, click Blank document. A new, blank document opens in the program
window.

Overview of the User Interface
All the Microsoft Office 2013 programs share a common user interface so you can apply basic
techniques that you learn in one program to other programs. The Word 2013 program window is
easy to navigate and simple to use
Ribbon
The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task.
It consists of a set of task-specific tabs. The standard tabs are visible
at all times. Other tabs, known as contextual tabs, appear only when you create or select certain
types of objects (such as images or tables). These tabs are indicated by colored headers and
contain commands that are specific to working with the selected object. Clicking a tab displays a
set of related commands that are organized into logical groups. Commands generally take the
form of buttons and lists; some appear in galleries. Pointing to an option in most lists or galleries
displays a live preview of that effect on the selected text or object. You can apply the previewed
formatting by clicking the selected option, or you can cancel previewing without making any
changes by pressing the Esc key. Some commands include an integrated or separate arrow.
Clicking the arrow displays a menu of options available for the command. If a command on the
Ribbon appears dimmed, it is unavailable. Pointing to a command on the Ribbon displays its
name, description, and keyboard shortcut (if it has one) in a ScreenTip.
A dialog box launcher appears in the lower-right corner of most groups on the Ribbon. Clicking it opens a related dialog box or task pane that offers additional options or
more precise control than the commands available on the Ribbon.
You can collapse the Ribbon by clicking the Collapse the Ribbon button on the right side
of the Ribbon or by double-clicking the current tab. When the Ribbon is collapsed,
only the tab names are visible. You can expand the Ribbon by double-clicking any tab.
