word 2013 assignments

Start using Word

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

The best way to learn about Word 2013 is to start using it. Create a blank document and learn the basics of adding and formatting text.

Basic tasks in Word 2013

What's new in Word 2013

When you first open Word 2013, this is what you see.

You can open an existing file here, or choose a template and create a new document.

Since we are just starting out, let's keep it simple and open the Blank document template.

Your new document opens here.

This area at the top is called the ribbon.

As you work on your document, you can use the tools in the ribbon to modify your text, or add pictures, or change the margins, things like that.

Word has a lot of useful tools and features, but you don't need to know all of this to create a document.

In fact, you can just start typing. Press Enter to start a new paragraph.

Otherwise, keep typing, and Word moves you to the next line automatically.

Press Backspace to remove characters to the left, press the arrow keys to move the cursor, and press Delete to remove characters to the right.

If you want to go faster, you can use the mouse to move the cursor.

As you get more comfortable with Word, you'll find yourself wanting to do more.

For example, you can take advantage of Word's spellchecker.

Word points out potential spelling errors by underlining the text in red.

You can retype the word, if you want, or better yet, right-click the word and get a list of suggested correct spellings.

Select one, or tell Word to Ignore the spelling.

Word also checks your grammar and word usage with a blue underline.

As your document grows and begins to take shape, there will be times when you'll want to move some things around.

You can do that by cutting, or copying and pasting.

Watch while I switch these two paragraphs around. First, I select the second paragraph, Cut it, click the beginning of the first paragraph, and click Paste .

Let's go back and take a closer look at that.

First, you select what you want to move.

Click and hold the left mouse button at the beginning and drag the mouse to the end. The area you select turns gray.

If you want to get rid of the selection, just click some place.

Now if you want to go faster, you can make a selection without dragging the mouse.

Just double-click to select a word. Click three times and you select the whole paragraph.

You'll see that there is always more than one way to do things in Word.

Next, we need to cut the text.

But you can't do that by pressing Delete, because that will permanently remove the text.

We need to use the Cut and Paste commands up here on the ribbon.

These words at the top are called Tabs .

When you click one, you display all the commands and options in the tab.

The Cut and Paste commands are on the HOME tab.

When you click Cut , Word removes the text and places it in the computer's memory in a location called the Clipboard.

Word also rearranges the document, so you don't see where the text was cut.

Word will do this anytime when something is added or removed.

Next, we select where we want to move the paragraph.

Then, come back to the ribbon and click Paste . And Word inserts the text from the clipboard.

Notice that you can click Copy instead of Cut , if you don't want to remove the original text.

So cutting and pasting is one way to move text.

But let's go back, and I'll show you even a faster way by using the mouse.

Instead of using the clipboard buttons, you can just click the selected text, and hold the left mouse button as you drag it to a new location.

So, now you have all the information you need to create a basic document or a rough draft. Up next, we'll save our document and move on.

Word 2013: Charts

Lesson 24: charts.

/en/word2013/tables/content/

Introduction

A chart is a tool you can use to communicate data graphically . Including a chart in your document can allow your reader to see the meaning behind the numbers , and it can make showing comparisons and trends easier.

Optional: Download our practice document .

Types of charts

Word has several types of charts, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your data. In order to use charts effectively, you'll need to understand how different charts are used.

Click the arrows in the slideshow below to learn more about the types of charts in Word.

Slide 1

Word has a variety of chart types, each with its own advantages. Click the arrows to see some of the different types of charts available in Word.

Slide 1

Column charts use vertical bars to represent data. They can work with many different types of data, but they're most frequently used for comparing information.

Slide 1

Line charts are ideal for showing trends. The data points are connected with lines, making it easy to see whether values are increasing or decreasing over time.

Slide 1

Pie charts make it easy to compare proportions. Each value is shown as a slice of the pie, so it's easy to see which values make up the percentage of a whole.

Slide 1

Bar charts work just like column charts, but they use horizontal bars instead of vertical bars.

Slide 1

Area charts are similar to line charts, except the areas under the lines are filled in.

Slide 1

Surface charts allow you to display data across a 3D landscape. They work best with large data sets, allowing you to see a variety of information at the same time.

Slide 1

Identifying the parts of a chart

Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn about the different parts of a chart.

Book sales chart

Data Series

The data series consists of the related data points in a chart. In this example, as we can see in the legend, the yellow columns represent net sales in February.

Horizontal Axis

The horizontal axis (also known as the x axis ) is the horizontal part of the chart. Here, the horizontal axis identifies the categories in the chart. In this example, each genre is placed in its own group .

The legend identifies which data series each color on the chart represents. In this example, the legend identifies the different months in the chart.

Chart Title

The title should clearly describe what the chart is illustrating.

Vertical Axis

The vertical axis (also known as the y axis ) is the vertical part of the chart. Here, the vertical axis measures the value of the columns. In this example, the measured value is each genre's total sales.

Inserting charts

Word uses a spreadsheet as a placeholder for entering chart data, much like Excel . The process of entering data is fairly simple, but if you are unfamiliar with Excel you might want to review our Excel 2013 Cell Basics lesson.

To insert a chart:

Screenshot of Word 2013

  • A dialog box will appear. Select a category from the left pane, and review the charts that appear in the right pane.

Screenshot of Word 2013

You can edit the chart data at any time by selecting your chart and clicking the Edit Data command on the Design tab.

Screenshot of Word 2013

Creating charts with existing Excel data

If you already have data in an existing Excel file that you would like to use for a Word chart, you can transfer the data by copying and pasting it. Just open the spreadsheet in Excel, select and copy the desired data, and paste it into the source data area for your Word chart.

You can also embed an existing Excel chart into your Word document. This can be useful when you know you'll need to update the data in your Excel file and would like the Word chart to automatically update whenever the Excel data is changed.

Read our guide on Embedding an Excel Chart for more information.

Modifying charts with chart tools

There are many ways to customize and organize your charts. For example, Word allows you to change the chart type , rearrange a chart's data, and even change the layout and style .

To change the chart type:

If you find that your data isn't well suited to a certain chart, it's easy to switch to a new chart type . In our example, we'll change our chart from a line chart to a column chart.

Screenshot of Word 2013

To switch row and column data:

Sometimes you may want to change the way charts group your data. For example, in the chart below the book sales data is grouped by genre , with columns for each year . However, we could switch the rows and columns so the chart will group the data by year , with columns for each genre . In both cases, the chart contains the same data; it's just organized differently.

Screenshot of Word 2013

We've noticed that when numeric data has been entered in the first column of the spreadsheet, switching rows and columns may cause unexpected results. One solution is to type an apostrophe before each number, which tells the spreadsheet to format it as text (instead of a numeric value). For example, the year 2013 would be entered as '2013 .

Compare Word 2013 and Word with Microsoft 365

Ready for microsoft 365, top questions, what’s the difference between office 2013 and microsoft 365.

Office 2013 include applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. They’re available as a one-time purchase for use on a single PC.

Microsoft 365 plans include premium versions of these applications plus other services that are enabled over the internet, including online storage with OneDrive and Skype minutes for home use. With Microsoft 365 you get the full, installed Office experience on PCs, Macs, tablets (including iPad® and Android™ tablet) and phones. Microsoft 365 plans are available as a monthly or annual subscription.  Learn more .

How do I know if my computer can run Microsoft 365?

See  system requirements  for compatible versions of Windows and macOS, and for other feature requirements.

Is internet access required for Microsoft 365?

You don’t need to be connected to the Internet to use Office applications, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, because the applications are fully installed on your computer.

However, Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office suites and all Microsoft 365 subscription plans. For Microsoft 365 plans, internet access is also needed to manage your subscription account, for example to install Office on other PCs or to change billing options. Internet access is also required to access documents stored on OneDrive, unless you install the OneDrive desktop app.

You should also connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Office up to date and benefit from automatic upgrades. If you don’t connect to the Internet at least every 31 days, your applications will go into reduced functionality mode, which means that you can view or print your documents but cannot edit the documents or create new ones. To reactivate your Office applications, reconnect to the Internet.

Will I still have control of my documents with Microsoft 365?

Yes. Documents that you have created belong fully to you. You can choose to store them online on OneDrive or locally on your PC or Mac.

If you cancel your subscription or it expires, you can still access and download all your files by signing in to OneDrive directly using the Microsoft account you used to set up Microsoft365. You do lose the additional storage that comes with your subscription, so you must save your files elsewhere or buy more OneDrive storage if your OneDrive account exceeds the free storage quota.

When would my subscription start?

If you purchase an auto-renew subscription, your subscription starts when you complete your purchase. You can purchase auto-renew subscriptions from Microsoft365.com, MicrosoftStore.com, iTunes®, and some other retailers. If you purchase a pre-paid subscription, your subscription starts when you activate your subscription and land on your My Account page. You can purchase pre-paid subscriptions from a retailer or reseller, or a Microsoft support agent.

How do I share Microsoft 365 with other people?

If you have an active Microsoft 365 Family subscription, you can share it with up to five other people (six total). Each person you share your subscription with can use any of your available installs on their PCs, Macs, iPads, Android tablets, Windows tablets, iPhones® or Android phones, get an additional 1 TB of cloud storage, and manage their own installs from  www.account.microsoft.com .

To add someone to your subscription, visit  www.office.com/myaccount  and follow the onscreen instructions to add a user. Each person you add will receive an email with the steps they need to follow. Once they have accepted and completed the steps, their information, including the installs they are using, will appear on your My Account page. You can stop sharing your subscription with someone or remove a device they are using at  www.office.com/myaccount .

What is “the cloud”?

“The cloud” is a friendly way of describing web-based computing services that are hosted outside of your home or organization. When you use cloud-based services, your IT infrastructure resides off your property (off-premises), and is maintained by a third party (hosted), instead of residing on a server at your home or business (on-premises) that you maintain. With Microsoft 365, for example, information storage, computation, and software are located and managed remotely on servers owned by Microsoft. Many services you use every day are a part of the cloud—everything from web-based email to mobile banking and online photo storage. Because this infrastructure is located online or “in the cloud,” you can access it virtually anywhere, from a PC, tablet, smartphone, or other device with an Internet connection.
