In the first part of this module, I showed you the screen components for word and also the main tabs which are available within Word regardless of your document context. There's also another type of tab called contextual tabs. Contextual tabs typically contain commands that pertain to a specific object only. We're going to review those, and then we're going to move on to the key tips. So let's begin by reviewing the contextual tabs that you can have within your document. The first type of contextual tab pertains to drawings.

So if you have a drawing within your document, if you highlight it or select it, you'll get the contextual tab format for drawing tools. If we click on this tab, it will give us all the formatting options available for our drawing, inserting additional shapes, shapes, styles, word styles, text, and we can also arrange our drawings. That's the first type of contextual tab, it pertains to drawing objects. If we come down and click on our picture, you'll notice that we also have a contextual tab For it for formatting the picture, once we click on the Format tab, we come out and add a style to our picture change the effect of it. Rapid if we had text around it, we could crop the picture if we wanted to just have a section of it available, and so forth. So that is a contextual tab that's available for pictures.

Now once I clicked outside my picture, you notice that the tab is gone, that contextual tabs are only available. When you've selected an object that has a contextual tab attached to it. We come down to tables, I will select my table. Once I have my table highlighted. I have two tabs available design and layout design tab gives me various design options available for my table, come up, change my shading, change my lines. There we go, and so forth.

I can also come out to my layout and change the layout of the table. If I want to split my cells, split the table, insert columns to the left or right, change my alignment, and so forth. Those are the contextual tabs that are available for my table. Now if I scroll down to my smart art, you'll notice I have two contextual tabs available for SmartArt tools, design, and format. The design gives me various design options, I can change my colors, change the shading on it, move to the left or right add shapes, change my texts and so forth, come out to my format. I can change my shape styles.

I can add, outline shapes, change my Word Art and so forth. Those are the two contextual tabs that belong with SmartArt. If you have a chart within your document and you select the chart, you have two contextual tabs available for charts, design and format. With the design I can come out and change my design change my colors selected elements, pick a quick layout, I can come over to my format, I can add some shape styles to it, I could come out and insert some shapes in there. If I wanted to highlight something specifically, I could come out and do that as well. Once I click outside my chart, the contextual tabs for my charts are gone.

Header and footer. If you click within the header footer area on your document, the contextual tab design will be available. From here I can choose the type of header footer or page number I want to add, I can add additional items to my header footer. If I want to add a date, I can do that. I can add author name and so forth. I can insert pictures quick parts, I can navigate around so if I wanted to go to the header or to the next footer, I can do that as well.

I can also choose my options if I want a different first page, or different odd and even or where I want my header to be positioned. I can change that as well. Double click within my document The contextual tab for my header and footer is removed. Now the last one I want to show you is for equations. If you put equations into your documents such as I have done here, highlight the equation, you're going to get your equation tools or your design tab for the equation tools. From here, I could insert another equation, I could add symbols or I can add structure to my equation.

That's all available with the contextual tab for design. So those are the various contextual tabs that are available. Again, anytime you select an object that has tabs attached to it, they'll become available. Once you click outside that object, those tabs will disappear. Now let's move on to the key tips. Key Tips are shortcut keys that give you access to the ribbon commands without using your mouse.

So if you prefer to use your keyboard instead of using the mouse to move around within your tabs and ribbons that's available through the key tips. To access that key tips. Hit the Alt key. Once you hit the Alt key, the key tips will appear over each command available in the current view. For instance, here I've got the key tips available for each of the ribbons and also my quick access keys. If I wanted to go into say, for instance, my design, I would type g, it takes me into the Design tab, and I've got the ribbon commands available.

From here, I could use my mouse to go to one of the options, or I can continue using my keyboard. If I wanted to go to my colors, I would do TC, and it would take me to the colors. From here, I can use my up and down arrows to scroll through them or I can also use the mouse, pick the color I want and continue on. If I hit the Alt key again, it's going to give me the key tips for each of the tabs and I can move on to another option. If I wanted to add a comment, I could go to review and hit C and type in my comment. If I hit the Alt key again, it's going to give me the key tips again for all the tabs so I can pick whatever I want to do.

Now to exit out of the key tips, all you need to do is hit the Escape key. Once you do that, it'll remove it from the screen. So that is the key tips. Again very quick and easy to use hit the Alt key it brings up the key tips makes it much easier for you to use the keyboard if you prefer to use that instead of always using the mouse. As a review of this module, we've gone over the screen components of word, the main tabs for word contextual tabs and the key tips. I hope you found the information in this module valuable and I'll see you in the next module.
