U

se Microsoft Office Word 2010, the gold standard of word processor 
applications, to create and edit documents, such as letters and reports. 

To keep copies of your work, you save the documents you create. If you 
need to make a change to a document you created earlier and then saved 
and closed, you open the document. You also open documents other people 
may give you if you want to read or edit those documents.

With Word 2010 open, when you open a document created in Word 
97–2007, Word opens the document in Compatibility Mode, enabling only 
those features available in the version used to create the document. To 
incorporate features available in Word 2010, you can convert the document 
from a .doc to a .docx file (and I show you how).

This first chapter helps you familiarize yourself with the Word screen and
