Unit 7: Microsoft Word Introduction

Insertion Point: In graphics-based programs, the insertion point is the point where the next Notes
characters typed from the keyboard will appear on the display screen. A blinking vertical
line usually represents the insertion point. You can reposition the insertion point by pressing
the arrow keys or by moving the I-beam pointer.

Mail Merge Tool: Word’s Mail Merge feature allows you to quickly create personalized
correspondence and other documents by combining (merging) information from two different
files.
Menu Bar: A horizontal menu that appears on top of a window. Usually, each option in a
menu bar is associated with a pull-down menu.
Office Assistant: The Office Assistant is a “character” or a “virtual person” whose main job
is to provide instant help when using a Microsoft Office product.
Tab: A key on computer keyboards that inserts a tab character or moves the insertion point
to the next tab stop. Some applications respond to the tab key by inserting spaces up to
the next tab stop. This is often called a soft tab, whereas a real tab character is called a
hard tab.
