MS WORD HOME TAB
Home Tab
Most
of those frequently used commands are located in the Home Tab.
When
you open Microsoft Word 2007 you will notice that instead of toolbars and drop
down menus, you will see what is called a Ribbon. The Ribbon is located close to the top of the
Word window. The Ribbon is organized
into a set of task‐oriented tabs, and each tab on the Ribbon contains groups of
commands. The Home Tab contains the most
frequently used commands in Word. To get
to another tab on the Ribbon click that particular tab.
If you do not see a command(s) that you’re looking for click the arrow
beside each group name that looks like this 
to open
a dialog box with more commands. For example, to get the Emboss text effect,
you would go to the Font Group and under the second line of
there is the word “Font”, click the arrow beside it to open a Font Dialog Box, select “Emboss” and click OK.
