Microsoft Office 2003 Command Groups

Microsoft Office 2003 Word and Excel have nine drop-down menus on the Menu Bar

• File
• Edit
• View
• Insert
• Format
• Tools
• Table
• Window
• Help

Each menu contains commands to: open a file, save, print, cut, copy, spell check, etc.

You will not use all of the commands available in Word 2003.  Understand how to use the File menu to Save and Print a document, or the Edit menu to cut, copy or parts of a document or worksheet, maybe once in a while, you may use headers and footers within a document.  But not every command in Word or Excel.

The same thing applies to the Standard and Formatting Toolbar buttons.  You may use the Save toolbar button or the Copy, Cut or Paste toolbar buttons.  But you may not change the font colors or add columns to a document, but you understand those features are there whenever you need them.

The point is, you may buy a computer that may have Microsoft Office 2007 Word and Excel.  The look is different, but is arranged according to surveys that said the most used commands such as Cut, Copy and Paste, are now grouped in a tab that is called Home.  You do not need to remember every command that is in Word or Excel 2007.  Just know how to get to the commands you use the most often.

Microsoft Office 2007 Command Groups

There are seven tabs that contain several commands into groups.  These tabs are labeled:

• Home
• Insert
• Page Layout
• Formulas
• Data
• Review
• View

Click through each one of these tabs and take a look at the command groups in each tab.  These are the tabs and commands you will use over and over, and you will remember more commands as you need to finish a Word or Excel 2007 document.
