ResourcesLesson SummaryWelcome! Views, Fonts, Bullets, Styles, Find - Welcome to Microsoft Word Basic Level 2. In this course we will explore different Word views, work with advanced font and paragraph options such as underlining styles, indenting, and paragraph borders, and customize bulleted and numbered lists. We will discuss styles, themes, and the Format Painter, and learn how to use Find and Replace and the Shrink 1 Page feature. This class is designed for beginner users continuing from Level 1, focusing on practical steps for formatting documents and understanding how Microsoft Word functions at a basic level. Guidance on where to post questions and how to get the most from the lessons is also provided.
Lesson 1: Docs Setup, Random Text & Views - In Lesson 1, we will walk through the initial document setup in Microsoft Word, including creating a basic header and inserting filler text with the =rand function. I will show you how to save your file and introduce the different document views available in Word, such as Draft, Print Layout, Full Screen Reading, Web Layout, and Outline mode. We will discuss when to use each view and how to switch between them to best suit your needs as you work on your document.
Lesson 2: Underline, Strike, Sub, Super, Highlight - In Lesson 2, we will explore the Font group on the Home tab in detail. We will walk through how to use underline and its various styles and colors, apply strikethrough, subscript, and superscript, and use the highlighter pen in different ways. I will also show you how the Change Case and Clear Formatting buttons work. We will discuss how to access additional underline styles through the font dialog box and note that some related features will be covered more deeply in future lessons.
Lesson 3: Align, Space, and Select Text - In Lesson 3, we will walk through the key features in the Paragraph group, including how to align text left, center, right, and fully justify paragraphs. We will discuss line spacing options, selecting the entire document quickly using Control A, and demonstrate how to add or remove space before or after paragraphs. I will also show you how to select full lines or paragraphs using your mouse. We will touch on the Paragraph dialog box and mention that more advanced options will be covered in future lessons.
Lesson 4: Indents, Borders & Shading - In Lesson 4, we continue working with the Paragraph group and will discuss how to use the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent buttons to adjust paragraph margins, as well as how to add and remove borders and shading to paragraphs. We will walk through setting different border options, such as left, right, top, bottom, outside, and inside borders, and using the Shading tool to add background color to paragraphs. These options help make certain paragraphs stand out and improve the appearance of your document. Hanging and first line indents are briefly mentioned and covered in more advanced classes.
Lesson 5: Bullets, Lists & Sorting Tips - In Lesson 5, we will finish working with the paragraph group by exploring bulleted lists, the bullet library, numbered lists, the numbering library, and multi-level lists. We will walk through customizing bullet and numbering styles, adding and editing list items, and using multi-level lists to organize information. I will also show you how to sort lists and paragraphs using the Sort feature and demonstrate sorting text, names, and dates within your document.
Lesson 6: Format Painter & Styles Tips - In Lesson 6, we will walk through how the Format Painter works for quickly copying formatting in your document, and then we will discuss what styles are, why they are useful, and how they can be more efficient than using the Format Painter alone. We will see how to apply and modify styles like Normal, Heading 1, and Title, and learn why using styles makes updating formatting easier in larger documents.
Lesson 7: Style, Color, Font & Theme Tips - In Lesson 7, we will continue working with styles by exploring how to change the style set, color set, and font set in your document. I will show you how these options alter the overall appearance, including headings, fonts, and colors, and demonstrate how to use the Change Styles menu and built-in style sets. We will also discuss how to adjust the document's theme using the Page Layout tab and briefly mention theme effects for graphics. This lesson will help you understand how styles and themes work together to customize your document in Word.
Lesson 8: Find & Replace with Highlight - In Lesson 8, we will walk through how to use Find and Replace in your document. We will look at the Editing group, including the Find, Find Next, and Reading Highlight functions, and I will show you how to replace text using both Replace and Replace All. We will discuss options for finding and highlighting words, and cover how to change words throughout your document efficiently. Advanced options like matching case or using wild cards are briefly mentioned and will be addressed in expert-level classes.
Lesson 9: Shrink a Document to One Page - In Lesson 9, we will walk through how to shrink your document by one page using the Shrink One Page feature. I will show you how to access this from the Print Preview area and how it can help fit your entire content onto fewer pages by making small adjustments to fonts and margins. We will look at an example document where a section runs onto a second page, and I will demonstrate how the Shrink One Page feature moves everything onto a single page. We will also discuss how useful this function can be for finishing documents efficiently.
Lesson 10: Layouts, Drafts, Fonts & More - In this course we learned about the different Word views, inserting random text, and using the Font and Paragraph groups for formatting, including underlining, highlighting, alignment, spacing, indents, borders, shading, and selecting text. We also worked with bullets and lists, sorting, the Format Painter, styles, and changing themes. We explored Find and Replace features, and discussed how to shrink a document by one page. Resources for help and additional learning were also mentioned.

That is good if you get some remnants left over on the next page. This lesson uses Microsoft Office Word 2007. If you are using Word 2003 or earlier, then you should visit my website and look for my Word Tutorials that cover these older versions. Before taking this course, it is strongly recommended that you take Word 2007 Basic 1. In that class, you will learn about the Word Interface, entering and editing text, formatting text, using the clipboard, saving and loading your documents, and printing and emailing. This is the Basic Level 2 course for Microsoft Word 2007. This class is for the novice user, who has little or no experience with Microsoft Word beyond my level 1 class. My Basic courses are designed for novice users who are new to Microsoft Word and just need to learn basic functionality. You will learn one good method for accomplishing tasks, and we will save all the extraneous details and options for later. My Expert Series is for users who are comfortable with Word and who want to learn more about the standard features and functions that most people use. We will cover a lot of options, alternatives, shortcuts, tips and tricks, and really cover all the features of Word exhaustively. The Advanced Series is designed to teach you all the lesser-known features of Word, such as recording macros and creating data forms. These are features that not everyone uses on a daily basis, but they can really add power to your documents. Finally, my Developer Series is designed to teach you how to program in Visual Basic for Applications with Microsoft Word to develop Word-based programs for your users, integrate Word with other office applications, and much more. Each of my series is broken down into different levels. For example, the Basic Series started with level 1, then was followed by level 2, which is this class, next will be level 3, and so on. Each level teaches you new and different topics in Microsoft Word, building on the lessons learned in the previous levels. Now let's take a more detailed look at what we are going to cover in today's class. In lesson 1, we are going to set up our document for today's class. I will show you how to insert random text into Microsoft Word using a function. Then we will see the different document views in Word, including draft, print layout, full screen reading, web layout, and outline mode. In lesson 2, we are going to learn more about the font group on the Home tab. We are going to learn about underline, the different underline styles, subscript and superscript, the highlighter pen, the change case button, and the clear formatting button. In lesson 3, we are going to spend some time with the paragraph group. We are going to learn how to align text left, center it, and align text to the right.

SummaryToday's video from Word Learning Zone introduces Microsoft Word 2007, Basic Level 2. I am your instructor, Richard Rost. In this class, I will begin with a review of the different Word Views that are available. We'll look at Print Layout View, Draft View, Fullscreen Reading, Web Layout, and Outline View to understand their purposes and how each can help you work more efficiently with your documents.Next, I'll spend some time with the FONT group on the Home tab. We'll explore the various underlining styles available, how to apply superscript and subscript formatting, and use the Highlighter Pen tool. I'll cover the Change Case feature, which lets you easily switch between different capitalization styles, and the Clear Formatting button, which removes formatting from selected text. Following this, much of our focus will turn to the Paragraph group. In the previous course, I taught how to align text to the left, center, or right. Today, we'll cover full justification, how to control line spacing, and how to adjust space before and after each paragraph. I'll also teach you about increasing and decreasing paragraph indents and applying precise paragraph indentation. We'll look at how to set up paragraph borders and shading, and how to remove them when they are no longer needed. In addition, I'll show you more about Bullets, including customizing your bullet lists, creating numbered lists, working with multi-level lists, and sorting them. The course continues with an overview of Styles. I'll explain what Styles are, why they matter, and how using them can help create consistent and professional documents. I'll demonstrate how to switch between Style Sets, modify your Color Sets and Font Sets, and change your document's overall theme. We'll also explore how to use the Format Painter for quick formatting changes. After that, I will guide you through the Find and Replace tools for searching and changing text throughout your document. Finally, I will introduce the Shrink 1 Page feature, which tries to reduce your document by one page to help you avoid awkward page breaks with just a few leftover sentences. This course is based on Microsoft Office Word 2007. If you are using Word 2003 or an earlier version, I recommend checking my website for tutorials specifically tailored to those editions. Before starting this class, it's highly recommended that you work through Word 2007 Basic 1. That course covers the fundamentals such as navigating the Word interface, entering and editing text, basic formatting, clipboard use, saving and opening documents, and printing or emailing your files. This is the second basic level course, designed for those who have completed level 1 or have very little experience with Microsoft Word. These basic courses are aimed at beginners who want to master essential features without getting bogged down in every available option. Each level builds on what was taught previously, gradually introducing more advanced topics. For those who want a deeper understanding of Word's typical functions and want to learn numerous tricks, shortcuts, and alternative methods, my Expert Series is more suitable. The Advanced Series covers complex features like recording macros and building forms, providing even more control over how you use Word. Finally, the Developer Series focuses on programming in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), teaching you how to automate processes and integrate Word with other Microsoft Office programs. My courses are organized into levels. The Basic Series started with Level 1, this video is Level 2, and Level 3 will follow. Each builds on prior lessons, so you progress at a comfortable pace without getting overwhelmed. Here's a more detailed look at the lessons in today's class: Lesson 1 focuses on preparing your document and showing how to insert random text. We'll then examine all of Word's document views so you know how to pick the best one for each task. Lesson 2 dives into the font options on the Home tab, including all types of underlining, superscript and subscript, the highlighter pen, changing letter case, and removing formatting. Lesson 3 spends time on text alignment, moving beyond left, center, and right to include full justification, adjusting line spacing, quickly selecting the entire document, and fine-tuning spacing before and after paragraphs. Lesson 4 continues with paragraph settings, teaching how to increase or decrease indents, and use borders and shading for emphasis. Lesson 5 wraps up the paragraph group content with an in-depth look at bullets and numbering, using bullet and numbering libraries, working with multi-level lists, and sorting both lists and paragraphs. Lesson 6 shifts to styles. First, I will show you how to use the Format Painter to copy formatting quickly, then explain what makes styles so effective for consistent, professional documents, and demonstrate basic styles like Normal, Heading One, and Title. Lesson 7 builds on this by showing how to adjust the style set, switch color and font schemes, and apply a theme to your document to create a cohesive look. Lesson 8 covers Word's Find and Replace features. You'll learn to search for text, use reading highlighting, and perform text replacements throughout your file. Lesson 9 demonstrates how to use the Shrink to Fit (Shrink 1 Page) feature, which is handy for squeezing stray text from a new page back onto your previous one. If you have any questions about using Word, you're welcome to participate in our student forums, where you can read and add comments about each lesson and see my responses. Take advantage of this resource to get help and discuss your progress with others. To get the most out of this course, I suggest you watch each lesson once all the way through before trying anything yourself. Then, go through the lesson again at your computer, following along with my examples and creating the same documents I do. Repetition and participation are the best ways to solidify your learning, so feel free to replay any lesson or review anything that is unclear. Above all, stay open to new ideas. Learning a new program can feel confusing at first, but patience and practice will help you get comfortable over time. If you get stuck, do not hesitate to ask for help in the student forums. You can find a complete video tutorial with step-by-step instructions on everything discussed here on my website at the link below. Live long and prosper, my friends.
