 Parts of the ms word
These basic parts of MS Office are used so that we can easily locate the tools
that will be needed as we create our documents.
 Quick access toolbar
Located just above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar
lets you access common commands no matter which tab
is selected. By default, it shows the Save, Undo, and Redo
commands, but you can add other commands depending
on your needs.
To add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar:
• 1. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Quick Access
Toolbar.
• 2. Select the command you want to add from the menu.

 Status Bar
It displays along the bottom of the Word
window and has information on the left side
and icons on the right side. The information
on the left shows the number of pages and the
number of words in the document. The
grammar icon opens up an editing panel to
help you work with grammar and spelling
tools. We will discuss those later.
• On the right side of the status bar are
icons to change the way the document is
viewed. Normally, there are three possible
views: Print view, which is used for
editing and viewing what the pages look
like if printed; Read mode, which is
similar to a magazine layout; and HTML
view, which is what the text looks like
when viewed with a browser.
