Mean: the average, is found by adding up all the values in a set of data and
dividing it by the total number of values you added together.
Calculate the mode age of the people in this room (is there a
mode?)
Mode: the number or value, which appears most often in the set. To find
the mode, you need to count how many times each value appears.

Microsoft Word
What can we use Microsoft Word for?

On your computer, open up Microsoft Word.

We are going to take a look around some of the screen


components together. There are a lot of similarities
between the application software available in the
Office Suite
• The area outlined in red is called the title
bar.

• It displays the names of the open program


and the name of the current file.
• This file has not been saved yet so its name is
Document1.

• Files created in Microsoft Word are often


referred to as documents and have the file
extension .doc or .docx
The area outlined in red contains the minimize,
maximise/restore and close buttons for the
program window.
These three buttons are on almost every
window that opens in a Windows based
platform.
When you click the minimise button the program
becomes a button on the Windows taskbar located
at the bottom of the screen.
You can restore the document to its original shape and
size by clicking on the button in the task bar to restore it
to active mode.
If you have multiple files from the same program open
you will need to select the one you want to restore to
active mode.
When you click the maximize / restore button
the program takes the same shape and size it
was before you minimized it.

Or

The program window will fill the screen.


When you click the close button the program
will ask you if you want to save the changes if
you have made any changes. Once you have
responded to this question the program will
close.
The area outlined in red is called the quick access
toolbar.

It contains the most commonly used commands in


Microsoft Word:

• Save
• Undo
• Repeat
Microsoft Office use what is referred to as the
“Ribbon” interface. The area outlined in red is
called the ribbon.
The Words File, Home, Insert, etc… outlined in red
are referred to as tabs. Each tab has several Groups
attached to it.
The File Tab menu contains the commands most
commonly associated with the file.
The Home Tab Groups contain the commands most
commonly associated with the formatting and editing of
text.
