You're reading this book because you want to study for and pass the MO‐100 Microsoft Word (Word and Word 2019) exam and become a certified Microsoft Office Specialist: Word Associate. I hope you have your favorite beverage nearby, you're comfortable, and you have Word fired up so that you can go through the exercises in this chapter.

Before embarking on a road trip, we often refer to the directions provided by our favorite map app before we leave. In this chapter, I'll show you how to work with documents, including navigating within documents so that you can edit them easily. Next, I'll show you how to format documents to make them look the way you want.

When you know how to control your documents, I'll show you how to save them in the format you want and share them with other people. Finally, I'll show you how to inspect your documents so that you can find and remove hidden properties as well as fix any issues with accessibility and compatibility.

I'll have an exercise at the end of every section within this chapter so that you can practice doing different tasks. Then, at the end of this chapter, you'll find a set of review questions that mimic the test questions you'll see on the MO‐100 exam.

You can also use tools in the ribbon, as well as keyboard shortcuts, to go to different spots in your document.

Word also has a lot of hidden formatting symbols that you can show. What's more, you can hide text that you don't want to see cluttering your document, but Word also makes it easy to reveal hidden text whenever you want to see it.

Searching for Text

Unless you have only a small amount of text in your document, you'll find that you need help locating the words that you want. Word has you covered with tools not only to find words in your document, but to replace them easily as well.

Using the Search Bar

The Search bar appears within the Word window's title bar to make it more conspicuous. Type one or more search terms in the Search box, and then click the terms within the Find In Document area in the drop‐down list. The Navigation pane opens on the left sid...
