Part I: Your Introduction to Word
Ending Your Word Processing Day
It’s the pinnacle of etiquette to know when and how to excuse oneself.
Leaving can be done well or poorly. For example, the phrase “Well, I must be
off,” works lots better than “Something more interesting must be happening
somewhere else” — especially at Thanksgiving.
Just as there are many ways to start Word, there are several ways to quit.
You can quit the program outright, you can pause and start over, or you can
set Word aside. These options are covered in the following sections.
To quit Word
When you’re done word processing and you don’t expect to return to it any-
time soon, you can quit the Word program. Quitting a computer program is
like putting away a book on a shelf. In the electronic world of the computer,
this is how you do such a thing:
1. Click the File tab.
The Word screen is replaced by the File tab menu screen. Do not be
alarmed.
2. Choose the Exit command.
Word vanishes from the screen.
The only time Word doesn’t vanish is during that shameful circumstance
when you have unsaved documents. If so, you’re prompted to save the docu-
ment, as shown in Figure 1-3. My advice is to click the Save button to save
your work.

button!
