00:03

and welcome back one and all to the

00:05
wonderful world of word 2016 with your
00:08
host Dan McAllister we're about to start
00:11
module 3 and for any of you who have
00:13
actually read Winnie the Pooh books I'm
00:16
gonna call this module 3 in which ER and
00:20
Christopher Robin learn about tables
00:22
tabs and styles and we're gonna need
00:26
some practice files I'm gonna assume you
00:28
have done that already that you have
00:29
received your practice files that you
00:31
have extracted them from their zip
00:33
folder I recommend putting them out on
00:35
the desktop in earlier modules I have
00:38
also created this folder out on my
00:40
desktop finished Word documents and so
00:44
if we're always careful to finish by
00:46
saving our documents to the finished
00:48
Word documents maybe we open a file from
00:50
over here work on it and then save it as
00:53
some other name or you know put it in
00:56
this other folder and that way the
00:57
original one is undisturbed if you want
00:59
to go back and practice with them later
01:00
so I'm going to assume that we are all
01:02
in that position and I'm gonna go start
01:05
Microsoft Word and why don't you do that
01:06
with me here as it starts off you're
01:09
gonna see this opening screen you can
01:11
either click on blank document or you
01:13
could tap the Escape key I don't think
01:15
I'd mentioned that in any of our earlier
01:16
lessons you can just have the Escape key
01:18
and you have a blank document
01:21
so I'm a pretty big fan of baseball and
01:24
I'm a child of the 60s and I grew up in
01:26
the Detroit area and about 1967 Detroit
01:30
had some big riots as many of the big
01:32
cities did and then in 1968 very much
01:35
the Detroit city came back together over
01:38
the Detroit Tigers who won the World
01:39
Series that year so I'm gonna pull up
01:42
some dead brain cells here some names
01:44
from the past of Detroit Tigers baseball
01:47
players from the 1968 winning World
01:49
Series here so I'm gonna have a column
01:51
and you don't have to type this with who
01:52
you're just gonna watch for a moment so
01:54
I'm gonna have a column for their name
01:55
hit the spacebar a couple of times I'm
01:58
going to have their their jersey number
02:01
yes we spread a little bit and then
02:03
their position like first base second
02:05
base that kind of stuff I'm gonna hit
02:07
the enter key to start a new line so the
02:10
leadoff batter for the Detroit Tigers in
02:12
1968 was a gentleman named dick
02:14
McAuliffe
02:19
his his jersey number was number three
02:22
and his position was second base
02:28
I'm gonna hit the enter key now any of
02:30
you who are baseball fans you will have
02:33
heard of Tommy John surgery which is a
02:36
surgery that happens to many pitchers
02:38
nowadays to repair an elbow tear that
02:43
was named for a pitcher named who would
02:45
have guessed Tommy John but the fellow
02:47
that messed him up in a fight was dick
02:49
McAuliffe tore his arm up and that's why
02:51
he needed this surgery that had never
02:53
been done before otherwise wouldn't that
02:55
be a rare coincidence that Tommy John
02:58
would be the first one to have the Tommy
03:00
John surgery somehow no it's not a
03:02
coincidence at all so there's more
03:04
information than you need to know about
03:05
dick McAuliffe all right Mickey Stanley
03:07
it was their second batter jersey number
03:11
number 24 so maybe I'm trying to line
03:13
that up kind of under the three there
03:15
and and a bunch of space bars and then
03:17
he played left field actually Mickey
03:20
Stanley was the center fielder and then
03:23
the greatest Tiger of all time Al Kaline
03:27
number six
03:30
adding third out in right field
03:35
okay now the more I do this the harder
03:39
it becomes to get things to line up
03:41
perfectly if I turn off the pill Kraus I
03:44
can see it all right so these things
03:46
aren't quite lined up just right and so
03:50
I'm gonna click here I'm going to hit
03:51
the backspace key try to line out that a
03:52
little bit oh that messed up this one
03:54
now I gotta try to put extra spaces in
03:57
there and get that thing lined up and
03:58
and then this looks kind of funny
04:01
because the name McAuliffe comes way
04:03
over here and what if I get like a
04:05
really long name that's about this long
04:07
what am I gonna do trying to get that
04:09
person's number in there
04:10
so there are several things that that
04:13
are not so good about using the spacebar
04:15
like this to line things up so what we
04:18
really want to talk about is maybe using
04:19
the tab key because the tab key lines
04:22
things up on the ruler like at a
04:24
half-inch mark up here where you don't
04:26
have to hit a bunch of space and then
04:28
try to eyeball things and move them
04:30
around a little bit you'll just be able
04:31
to move something up on the ruler and
04:33
fix things
04:36
so what you saw in our intro was me
04:39
working way too hard hitting spacebar
04:42
spacebar spacebar to try to line things
04:44
up and not doing all that great a job
04:46
it's kind of hard to get things to line
04:48
up nicely that way so what we're gonna
04:50
talk about next is using the tab key
04:53
with things that can appear up on the
04:55
ruler here called tab stops to line
04:57
things up by number on the ruler rather
05:00
than a whole bunch of spaces out here so
05:03
that's what we're gonna be talking about
05:04
right now now I'd like to put a little
05:06
divider line right down here that
05:08
signifies I'm finished working on one
05:10
idea and I'm moving on to another one
05:12
so I'm gonna hit the enter key a couple
05:14
of times by the way you have not had to
05:17
like create this thing don't worry about
05:18
that so I've hit the enter key a couple
05:20
of times and then I'm gonna hit the up
05:22
arrow key one time and I'd like to put a
05:25
little divider line across here and I'm
05:27
gonna do that by going to the Home tab
05:28
and noticing this button right here
05:30
called borders and when I click on the
05:33
sticky list arrow next to the borders
05:36
button I will see a pulldown list of
