A Beginner’s Guide to Typing a Writing Assignment

in Microsoft Word 2013

How to Create a New Document

  1. Click the Start button (located at the bottom-left corner of the screen).
  2. Without clicking on anything, type “word” to search for Word 2013.
  3. Click on “Word 2013” when you see it appear in the list.
  1. A new, blank document should now be open.

How to Save Your Document

  1. It is always a good idea to save your work as soon as you begin. If the computer loses power, any unsaved work will be lost.
  2. Insert your flash drive into the computer. If it will not fit in the plug, turn it over and insert it the other way.
  3. At the top of the screen, you will see the Ribbon.
  4. Click the File tab, and click “Save As.”
  1. From now on, click the File tab and click “Save” to update your file with any changes you have made.

How to Retrieve Your Document

  1. Insert your flash drive into the computer. If it will not fit in the plug, turn it over and insert it the other way.
  2. Click the file folder icon at the bottom-left of the screen.
  3. In the window that opens, scroll down the left side to find your flash drive. (It may be called Kingston, Cruzer, ScanDisk, etc.) Click on it to access it.
  1. Look for your file. When you see it, double-click (click twice quickly) on it with the left mouse button.

How to Double-Space Your Document

  1. Select all of the text in your paper so that it is highlighted in gray. To do this, click the Select button and choose “Select All.”
  2. In the Ribbon, click the Line spacing button. Choose the “2.0” option.

How to Check Your Spelling and Grammar

  1. Note: although the spelling and grammar checker is helpful, it is not 100% reliable. You should still carefully proofread your paper after using these tools.
  2. In the Ribbon, click the Review tab. Click the Spelling & Grammar button to check the entire document.
  3. If a word is underlined in red, the word is misspelled. If a word is underlined in green, you probably have a grammatical error. If a word is underlined in blue, you have probably spelled a word correctly but used it improperly.
  4. You can right-click on an underlined word to change it. Choose the correction you want from the list. There may only be one option, or there may be no suggestions.

How to Edit Slides

  3. Resetting the Layout: To reset a slide’s layout, click the Reset button. (This is useful if you have made a lot of changes to the layout and are not sure how to change it back.)
  4. Rearranging Slides: To rearrange a slide, click and drag on it in the left-hand list. You can also click on the View tab and open the Slide Sorter view. Click Normal to return the default view.
  5. Deleting Slides: To delete a slide, select it and press the Delete key on the keyboard, or right-click and choose “Delete Slide.”
