riht direction. Payato

define the question better. "Basic components" is pretty broad. Are you
talking about applets such as Microsoft Graph, WordArt, Equation Editor? Or
components of a document such as paragraphs and sections? Or features of
Word? Word commands?

Basically it is a checklist or cheat sheet. I know the subject is broad,
that is the way we usually receive our task until we provide a product then
we are clearer guidance.
This is the basic components we work with on a daily basis:
PARTS:
1. Creating and Editing Documents
2. Proofreading Documents
3. Formatting and Printing Documents
4. Advanced Formatting
USES:
1. enables you to save a Word document in HTML format

2. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/index.html and
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/basic_formatting.htm and
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm and
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.
I think some basic components of Word are:
1. Styles
2. Templates
3. Non-printing characters

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart2.htm, which
would give you some ideas. Browsing around that site generally might give
you others. If you're trying to teach complete novices to use Word, then you
could point them to
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/concepts/introduction/index.html, but the
strongest weapon in your arsenal will be well-crafted templates that make it
easy for these users to do what you want them to do; that is, the templates
should have customized toolbars and menus that make it easy for them to
access the styles and features you want them to use and less easy to use
direct formatting and other less desirable features.

Barnhill, I agree with what she is saying. You need to understand templates
and styles. If you create useful templates for your users, they do not need
as broad an understanding of Word as you will need in constructing those
templates.
Some basics to teach your users:
Format using styles - not using the Bold, Italic, numbering, etc. buttons on
the toolbars.
If you are going to repeat a document type, construct a template and use
that for new documents, not a copy of an old document.
Never use the toobar numbering or bullet buttons for anything that will be
edited or used by someone else!
Make frequent document saves and backups.
Look particularly at the section in Shauna Kelly's site on outline
numbering. I have a feeling you and your students/users will be needing this
section a lot. The method shown on that site is the only reliable way to
produce outline numbering.

restrained to formats dictated by the General Staff, templates are the way to
go. Thanks, again. Payato
