Word  Scaffolding Activity

Before we get started let’s make sure we are in the Normal view format of the document:

1. Click View on the Menu bar.
2. The icon next to Normal should have a box around it. If the icon next to normal has a box around it, press Esc to close the menu. If the icon next to Normal does not have a box around it, continue on to the next step.
3. Click Normal. You are now in Normal view.

Text Area

Just below the ruler is a large area called the "text area." You type your document in the text area. The blinking vertical line in the upper left corner of the text area is the cursor. It marks the insertion point. As you type, your work shows at the cursor location. The horizontal line next to the cursor marks the end of the document.

Exiting Word

You have completed Lesson One. Typically, you would save your work before exiting. This lesson does not require you to enter any text, so you might have nothing to save. To exit Word:

1. Click File.
2. Click Exit, which can be found at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
3. If you have entered text, you will be prompted: "Do you want to save changes to Document1?" To save your changes, click Yes. Otherwise, click No.
4. Name your file by typing lesson1.doc in the File Name field.
5. Click Save.
