Ribbon - Review

Quick reference

• 00:04 All right, it's time to circle back to some text functions, and
• 00:07 that is on the Review ribbon.
• 00:08 This is where you find your spell-check, your research, your thesaurus,
• 00:12 your translation, and your language settings.
• 00:15 So very quickly, down below, you can see I've got some red underlines,
• 00:18 those are misspelled words.
• 00:19 Now, I could right-click each one of them, and handle them individually but
• 00:23 how about we just have the computer do it in one fell swoop?
• 00:26 So that is on the Review ribbon and we have this Spelling button right over here.
• 00:29 Notice the tool tip popped up and says F7.
• 00:31 So if this is something you're going to use a lot,
• 00:34 which you should by the way use this often.
• 00:37 Go ahead and tap your F7 on your upper keyboard.
• 00:41 So I'm going to click spelling, the box shows up.
• 00:44 And I can move that off to the side.
• 00:46 Now I can handle each one of these individually, or
• 00:50 you hit the Change All just in case I spelt it wrong twice.
• 00:54 And in this case, we're already done so
• 00:56 we're going to move on from our spell check.
• 00:58 Our next one is our thesaurus.
• 01:00 I would like to find a better word for the word Headline.
• 01:03 So I'm going to click on Thesaurus.
• 01:04 Now Research, I should pause and go to Research first, so Research.
• 01:08 We'll bring this up and
• 01:09 Research shows me that the last thing I used was Translation.
• 01:12 Well, I'd like to look up the dictionary.
• 01:14 What is the definition of the word headline?
• 01:16 And there is a dictionary definition right there.
• 01:20 Now the drop down arrow allows me to go to Thesaurus,
• 01:22 allows me to go to Translation, allows me to go online.
• 01:26 But instead, I want to use the individual buttons just to show you as an example.
• 01:30 But honestly, it's your personal preference.
• 01:32 You can always stay in Research and do all the work there.
• 01:34 So I've got Headline up here, I already know what it means.
• 01:37 Now I'm going to go find a better word for it.
• 01:39 So that is the Thesaurus.
• 01:41 Now, in this case, it showed me Frontpage, Front-page, Important, Significant.
• 01:45 Well, I like Important so I'm going to hit the drop down arrow.
• 01:48 Keep your eyes on the highlighted word off to the left.
• 01:51 When I hit Insert, it'll automatically replace it.
• 01:54 Click, there it goes.
• 01:55 I didn't have to type, so I am a happy customer.
• 01:58 All right, let's keep going.
• 01:59 I'd like to translate Lead Story Important, so
• 02:03 I'm going to translate that selected text.
• 02:05 So I'll click the Translate button, and
• 02:07 it's asking me permission to go out online.
• 02:09 Yes, that is fine.
• 02:11 Notice it went to my Research task pane.
• 02:13 Just for a moment, I'm going to close my Thesaurus task pane.
• 02:17 Here we go.
• 02:17 Now, the translation, it's trying to translate from English to Welsh.
• 02:21 That's fine, that's the last one I used.
• 02:23 How about if I want to go from English to Spanish?
• 02:27 So I can click that, hit my little arrow, and see if it will translate.
• 02:31 And generally, there it is right here.
• 02:34 So I went from English to, I accidentally clicked Swedish.
• 02:38 That's fine.
• 02:39 Here we go. I could highlight these words right here.
• 02:42 I don't have to highlight, but I could copy paste or
• 02:45 just hit the cute little Insert button right here.
• 02:47 Now keep your eyes on the words to the left that are highlighted.
• 02:50 I'll click Insert, click.
• 02:51 There we go.
• 02:52 I didn't have to type them in there.
• 02:54 So that's always a good experience when we don't have to type anything.
• 02:58 Now, it's really easy to translate single words or phrases.
• 03:02 It's a different story to translate an entire text.
• 03:04 If you were going to translate all of these, I would copy it all,
• 03:07 go out to the Microsoft Translator online and
• 03:10 have that translate the entire document for you.
• 03:13 All right, the last thing we want to do is set our language preferences.
• 03:16 So on the Review button, under Language, we can set our proofing language or
• 03:21 our Language Preferences.
• 03:22 I'll go ahead and set my proofing language.
• 03:24 So I've got mine to proof for the spelling of the English United States.
• 03:29 Well, there's all kinds of them.
• 03:30 You just have to scroll through here to choose which spellings you would like
• 03:35 your proofing and your spelling to respond to in your translators to respond to.
• 03:39 So that's it for now.
• 03:41 Please get into your Review ribbon.
• 03:42 Use these often and you'll have a great finished product,
• 03:46 especially when you use the spell check button.
