TEACH YOURSELF VIA VISUAL LEARNING Visual learning is a teaching and learning style in which images, pictures or colours are used to gain information for studying. Visual learning forms part of the three basic learning styles which includes the Kinesthetic (learning that takes place via physical activity as opposed to listening or watching) and Auditory (learning that takes place via listening) learning styles. Generally visual learners also have a good sense of spatial awareness (sense of direction) and often like to draw and scribe. At LEARN NEW SKILLS FROM HOME, we strive to help self-study learners achieve their goals by providing affordable learning materials without compromising on quality. All our study materials are designed for the VISUAL LEARNER and use easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, illustrated throughout via screen shots. This easy-to-use visual guide covers advanced features in the popular Microsoft Office Word 2013 application. Additional learning support supplied includes examination checks, shortcut tips, test structures and underpinning knowledge. Learners will also have FREE access to our online Members’ Area (12 months access), which has additional question and answer snippets, job search facilities, qualification updates and a learner’s forum. The Advanced (level 3) unit covered within this guide incorporate the, internationally recognised ECDL Advanced (European Computer Driving Licence), ICDL Advanced (International Computer Driving Licence) and the nationally (UK) recognised syllabus for the “Information Technology Qualification” (ITQ) certification.

UNITS COVERED WITHIN THIS GUIDE

Units covered within this guide include some of the world’s most popular ICT (Information Communication Technology) applications, which utilise the Microsoft Office suite of programs. Units covered: ECDL Advanced Word-Processing ICDL Advanced Word-Processing ITQ Advanced Word-Processing

QUALIFICATION OVERVIEW

The ECDL Foundation offers globally recognised ICT (Information Communication Technology) certifications, which many leading corporations/governments (IBM, IKEA, Ministry of Defence, Post Office, Bank of England, Shell and Pfizer) have adopted as their prerequisite ICT benchmark for employees. The quality and reputation of the Foundation has been built on over a decade of experience in successfully delivering ICT certification to over 9 million people, in 41 languages, covering 148 countries around the world. The ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) qualification was established in 1997 and due to its success the ICDL (International Computer Driving Licence) was established shortly after in 1999 for the international market outside Europe. Both the ECDL and ICDL certifications are global recognised qualifications and have the same syllabus and test structures, the only difference being the ECDL is designated for European (ECDL) countries the ICDL for regions outside Europe. Further information including qualification news and updates can be found on the ECDL Foundation website - www.ecdl.org

ECDL (ICDL) ADVANCED MODULES

ECDL Advanced (Word-Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases and Presentations) units/modules are set as level 3 (A-Level) qualifications in the UK by QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework). Advanced units/modules are designed for learners who have intermediate/advanced skills in ICT and wish to gain a worldwide-recognised certification.

ECDL (ICDL) EXPERT Learners who successfully pass four ECDL Advanced units/modules can claim the “ECDL (ICDL) Expert” certification at no extra cost. Further information can be found on the ECDL Expert website - www.ecdlexpert.co.uk

© www.learn-new-skills-from-home.com 8

ITQ ADVANCED UNIT

The ITQ (Information Technology Qualification) unit “Improving Productivity Using IT” was introduced in 2010 to allow learners (UK only) to use their ICT skills and knowledge to manipulate commonly used IT tools and improve their overall productivity. ITQ certifications consist of a portfolio of qualifications which replaced the NVQ "National Vocational Qualifications" for IT and computing units. ITQ is a UK nationally recognised programme, which has been designed by employers to meet the needs of today's businesses. The ITQ Improving Productivity Using IT unit can be mapped to the ECDL portfolio and once added to four ECDL Advanced (level 3) modules enables learners to claim the “ITQ Level 3 in IT User Skills” certification provided by BCS (British Computer Society). Candidates only need to successfully achieve one of three available (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) advanced scenario based assignments to gain the ITQ certification. ITQ Advanced units can be completed by both manually and automated test methods. Further information about ITQ Units can be found on the BCS/ITQ website - www.bcsitq.co.uk

TESTING CENTRES

ECDL (ICDL) Advanced examinations incur no registration fees but examinations cost approximately £70 per exam (prices may vary). Candidate identification is required usually in the form of a utility bill and passport or driving licence. Learners are advised to book their desired examination date 10-14 days prior. In September 2012, manual tests for ECDL Advanced units/modules were replaced with industry standard e-assessments. E-assessments offer many advantages over manual tests, including instant results and a breakdown of a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses. ITQ Advanced learners must register at their local testing centre (10-14 days recommended), prior to their first examination, identification is required usually in the form of a utility bill and passport or driving licence. A one off administration fee may be incurred of approximately £50 - £70 (prices may vary). For further information please contact your local testing centre. There are literary 1000's of ECDL Advanced, ICDL Advanced and ITQ Advanced test centres around the UK and 10,000’s globally. Please visit the BCS website to find your nearest test centre - http://apps.bcs.org/fac/

SAMPLE TESTS

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

This guide covers Advanced (level 3) features using popular Microsoft Office 2013 applications. As this guide is set at level 3 (A-Level) it is aimed at learners who have some prior knowledge of the application/s they wish to study. Learners can use this guide to complete individual or several (Word-Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases or PowerPoint) units/modules. Learners who wish to complete all five units/modules can study them in any order enabling them to concentrate on areas of most importance first.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

ECDL and ITQ Units are non vendor-specific, which means examinations can be taken using a variety of software (Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office, Open Office etc…) packages. For the purposes of this training guide we have selected the “Microsoft Office 2013 Suite”. The Office 2013 suite of applications is predominately used within most companies globally and therefore enables learners to maximize their prospects in finding employment and enhancing their careers. Additionally Office 2013 applications can be used virtually via the Office 365 service and are designed to be integrated into Windows 8, utilising touch screen technology. To complete the unit/modules within this guide, learners will need access to a PC (Windows 7 or higher operating system) and Microsoft Office 2013. Free 60 day trials of Microsoft Office 2013 can be downloaded via the Microsoft website at:

UPDATES

To reflect any syllabus, exam and guide updates we have supplied an updates page, where learners can access and download any recent changes:

ADVANCED WORD-PROCESSING UNIT

The Advanced Word-Processing Unit covers advanced features, shortcuts, examination checks and underpinning knowledge related to Microsoft Office Word 2013 certifications. The Advanced Word-Processing unit is designed to enable learners to complete complex tasks in a Word-Processor (Microsoft Word) application. Advanced tasks include, using sophisticated typographical, formatting and layout configurations, including tables, forms and graphics, master documents and using macros and advanced mail-merge operations.

WORD 2013 LAYOUT

In Office 2013 each application is assigned its own color-coded start screen, blue for Word, green for Excel, red for Access and orange for PowerPoint. When Word 2013 is opened it displays a list of recently opened documents, built in document templates (Blank document template set as default) available, additional online template search facility and Open Other Documents option to search for local documents on disk or in a SkyDrive (Microsoft online storage area) folder. At the top right of the screen login details of any current SkyDrive accounts are displayed. The 2013 layout is designed to help new users find their way around more easily, and more experienced users appreciate having all options in one place at startup.

BLANK DOCUMENT OPTION

SKYDRIVE LOGIN DETAILS

When a Blank (new) Document is created in Word it is opened in Print

Layout view as default. The Print Layout view is ideal for users to get the

best perspective of designing their document structured.

STANDARD VIEW

Microsoft Office Word 2013 supports the “DOCX” (XML format), which was introduced in Word 2007. The DOCX format took over from the standard “DOC” format used in previous office (2000, XP, 2003) versions. Microsoft Office 2013 is backwards compatible enabling earlier Word versions to be opened in Word 2013 but documents that were originally created in Word 2013 cannot be opened in older applications (excluding Office 2007, 2010), which used the ‘DOC’ format, unless a compatibility program is used (compatibility programs are available from the Microsoft downloads website). Besides the XML format Microsoft Office 2013 has many added features and c osmetic changes compared to some previous Office versions including capitalised ribbon text, general functionality and toolbars.

The Word editor view is generally set as Print Layout as default. Print Layout is ideal for user to get the best perspective of how their document will be displayed when completed. Page views can vary, depending on whichever view the user last edited (Full Screen Reading, Web

Layout, Outline and Draft) and save the document in.

THE MICROSOFT OFFICE BUTTON

In Office 2013 the Office Button (FILE tab) has been updated both cosmetically (text appears capitalised) and functionally (when selected a new screen appears, making it easier to view commands and menu options). Menu options include New, Open, Save, Save As, Print and the Options button (for accessing additional commands). Once the user has accessed their desired function they can return back to the main screen via the Back button option.

RIBBON Microsoft Word 2013 unlike some previous versions (2000, 2003) uses a “Ribbon” interface to issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the window, below the “Quick Access Toolbar”. At the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab will display several related command groups. Within each group are linked command buttons. Additionally a dialog box launcher is located in the bottom-right corner of several groups, clicking the dialog box launcher option will give access to extra commands. It is advised that learners use the recommended (by Microsoft) 1024x768 or higher screen resolution when using Microsoft Office 2013; this is due to a dynamic ribbon being used, which adjusts the amount of options displayed depending on visible space.

QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR

The “Quick Access Toolbar” is located by default at the top of the Word window and provides quick access to tools that are used frequently. The Quick Access Toolbar can be customized by adding and removing commands to it.

QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR

MORE COMMANDS OPTION

Before starting any test questions learners should make sure the

“Minimize the Ribbon” option is deselected on the quick access

toolbar otherwise the Office Ribbon will be minimized every time you

click on the document page. Select the Ctrl +F1 keys to activate the

Ribbon option.

OVERVIEW

The following guide covers advanced features, shortcuts, examination checks and underpinning knowledge related to Microsoft Office Word 2013 certifications. Once you have worked your way through the guide and are satisfied that you understand the information provided attempt the Advanced Word-Processing tests located at the end of this unit.

HISTORY

Word is a graphical word-processing program that users can add styles to text, add captions to images and text, cross references (headings and figures), add comments to text and images, track changes, embed objects and auto-generate tables and indexes. Word is used primarily for creating documents such as letters, brochures, learning activities, tests and quizzes. Word was first released in 1981 with many of the ideas and features incorporated into it coming from Bravo, the first graphical writing program. Microsoft brought the Bravo program, and changed its name to Microsoft Word. When Word was released it used a feature called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), which meant that users could change the visual style of writing (e.g. bold, italics), by clicking on buttons, when in other programs like WordPerfect, users had to add special 'codes' to change the style of writing. WYSIWYG is now a common feature of all computer writing programs.

FILE FORMATS

Word supports the “DOCX” (XML format). The DOCX format took over from the standard “DOC” format used in previous office (2000, XP, 2003) versions.

TEMPLATES

A template is a document type that creates a copy of itself when the user opens it. In Microsoft Office Word users can create a template saving a document as a .dotx file, .dot file, or a .dotm file (a .dotm file type allows you to enable macros in the file).
