The structure of a Word document

The content of a document is divided into parts that make it easy for us to read and understand. We
may use headings to organize the different parts in a meaningful way. All the different parts of a
document can be formatted.

Text
Text usually refers to the words that make up the sentences and the paragraphs. This text can be edited
or changed in various ways. You can use different font types, sizes and styles to emphasize your point.

Text can also include punctuation marks (full stops, commas, etc.), and special characters (small images
known as symbols).

Paragraphs
Word regards anything you type before pressing Enter as a paragraph. This could also be a heading or
even a single word. When you consider writing a document, remember that paragraphs are also
meaningful arrangements of text.

Objects in a document
You can add objects such as pictures or shapes into a Word document. We use objects in a document to
clarify or illustrate the content.

Editing objects can be a lot of fun. We can change images to appear in different ways. Photographs can
be edited by changing their colours, or by applying special effects to them.

Pages and sections


Just as a book is divided into pages and chapters, so we can divide a Word document into pages and
sections. For example, we can set the size and orientation of a page, and the size of the margins around
the page.

Headers and footers


At the top and bottom of each page we find the header and the footer. Anything that we want to appear
on all (or only on certain) pages of the document should be placed in the header or the footer. Examples
are automatic page numbering or other information about the document.

Viewing the structure of the document


You can view the structure of a Word document by clicking View and selecting Navigation Pane in the
Show group.
