Creating a document with words and pictures (using WORD 2003)

(This may also be used for WORKS but there are some differences)

To create a basic document:

Find the WORD icon (or WORKS)

Usually in START or on the Desktop

Double click to open

It will open a new blank page

Or if it asks you what you want to do:

On the right hand side of the page look for BLANK DOCUMENT

To adjust the screen size of the page, look for a box in the top menu with a % sign

Click on the arrow and choose a size that suits you.

To write anything, click on the document.

A new line will automatically be created when your typing gets to the end of a line.

To create a new line or paragraph, press the Return or Enter key (the big one at the right hand side of your keyboard).

New pages will automatically be created when you reach the end of a page

Select File and then SAVE to save your document. Give it name and location.

To Add a TEXT BOX

This enables you to write some text and then move it around the page so that you can change the page layout.

First go to INSERT (or Organise on other versions)
Look for and click on TEXT BOX
On your page click anywhere OUTSIDE the box that appears

A small text box will then be created (or left click, hold and drag to create a shape)

You can adjust the size by dragging the corner of the box

To add text click in the box and start typing

To change size of the box (or shape) click on the black edge and then drag either the corner or one of the 4 sides using the small circles.

To move the text box, click on the black edge and make sure the cursor is on the edge of the box showing a cross shape – NOT on one of the small circles. Then drag it to anywhere on the page.

To INSERT A PICTURE

Create a TEXT BOX as above
Then click inside the text box
Go to INSERT (or ORGANISE)
Select PICTURE
Then FROM FILE
You will then get the usual box to enable the computer to find your picture

When you’ve located your picture, click INSERT – bottom right

It will be placed in the text box.

OR you can use the COPY and PASTE method.

Go to the folder to find your picture.
Change the VIEW if necessary to see your pictures
DO NOT OPEN IT
Right-click on the selected picture and choose COPY
Go to the text box on your Word page
Click in side the box
Then right-click and choose PASTE

The box can be moved or the size changed in the same way.

Click on the black edge and then make sure the cursor is on the edge of the box showing a cross shape – NOT on one of the small circles.
Then drag it to anywhere on the page.

OR to change size

Click on the black edge and then drag one of the small circles to change size and shape. Dragging the corner will retain the same proportions for the sides.

To remove a TEXT BOX, right-click on the black edge and then select CUT
