Diyala University/ engineering collage Communicationdepartment Computerscience . Lec5: Introduction toMicrosoft Word: Insert Tab MS 2007 The Insert Tab is right next to the Home Tab in Microsoft Word 2007. This tab has a lot of useful features that will let you insert things like pictures, clip art images, shapes, SmartArt graphics, charts and a host of farther items. Before we do that, here is a screen shot of the insert tab shown below. Today we will be working with several different documents to show you the functionality in the Insert Tab. A common task in Microsoft Word is to add a Page Break. For this practice we will use the definition assignment document as illustrated below. We would like to add a page break right before the Research Analysis section. To do this in Microsoft Word 2007, you can select the Insert Tab and then select the Pages group and then choose Page Break. Here is a screen shot ofthis action. 1

After performing the above-mentioned action, we were able to insert a page break right before the Research Analysis section. This is highlighted in the following figure. Next, we are going to look at a Meeting Agenda for more practice with the Insert Tab in Microsoft Word 2007. We have some basic information about the meeting like date, time and presenter in the beginning ofour document. We need to add at least two more things, the schedule and the company logo as highlighted in yellow. 2

To add the table, select the Table command from the Insert Tab which will launch the Insert Table functionality in Microsoft Word 2007. It will let you pick the number of columns and rows of the desired table in your document. As you drag your mouse over the highlighted area, you can select the rowsand columns that you would like. Here I have chosen a 2 5 table. Also notice that as you drag the mouse you will get a live preview ofyour table in your document, very cool! This is shown below in the screen shot. 3
Diyala University/ engineering collage Communicationdepartment Computerscience . Before we go ahead and enter the data, I want to talk about Contextual tabs. These are special tabs that appear only when certain objects are being used such as a table or a picture. The idea is to keep them hidden until the object is active, leading to a more efficient work flow and less cluttered area. The Table object has two such contextual tabs: design and layout. The design lets you control things like table styles, borders and shading. This tab is illustratedbelow in the screen capture. 4

This tab will actually let you modify the structure of the table including rows and columns plus alignment and cell size. This is shown below with all the available options. Once the table is created, you can start entering the data as you wish. 5

As I move my mouse over the styles, I get a preview of what my table will look like if I select that option. Here is a screen shot. My first column is taking way too much space, so I would like to move the border a little to the left. I can do this by selecting the first column border and moving it left. This is shown by the red arrowin the screen shot below. Notice the dotted line will be the new location for the column border. 6
