Quick reference
Ribbon - REVIEW
The Review ribbon provides Translation, a Thesaurus, and a Dictionary
When to use
Writing creative script is important and sometimes hard. The Review ribbon provides those reference manuals we all used to have on our bookshelves.
Instructions
Follow along with the video for an introduction to the Publisher 2016 Review ribbon elements. This includes:
- Spellcheck – no more typos and misspellings
- Research – dictionary
- Thesaurus – look up similar words
- Translation – use international words
- 00:04 In this lesson I'd like to go over the Review ribbon and the features in here
- 00:09 that have to do with your text, and your script, and dictionary and translation.
- 00:14 So I'm using the Trader News newsletter.
- 00:17 I'm going to zoom in so you can see that right up here we've got a word,
- 00:21 if you can see, Northwind has a red underline.
- 00:23 That means, it's misspelled, or at least the computer thinks it's misspelled.
- 00:28 So, I have the option to hit my right mouse button on that word and
- 00:32 it'll give me possible correct spellings, neither of which which I like.
- 00:35 I can ignore it, or I can add it to my dictionary and
- 00:38 it will never mark it wrong again.
- 00:40 So, I'll go ahead and click ignore right there, and there we go.
- 00:44 Now, another thing that happens is, when I double click a word and
- 00:47 right click, we have some options right here.
- 00:50 I have a look up, and I have a translate.
- 00:52 Now if you'll notice, the Look Up icon right here, two little books and
- 00:56 a magnifying glass happens to match this icon on my Research ribbon, the Translate.
- 01:01 This little icon happens to match the Translate right here on my Review ribbon.
- 01:05 And so the point of this, is just to tell you that if you're on your Home ribbon but
- 01:10 you're looking for research, you can just double click a word and
- 01:13 hit your right mouse button and you've got your research right there, okay?
- 01:17 Anyway, let's go back to our Review ribbon, and
- 01:20 we're gonna go ahead and research the word, Advantages.
- 01:23 Now a double click on the word will select the word, and right over here on the right
- 01:27 hand side, since I already click research it has it right here.
- 01:30 Advantages has been put in there.
- 01:32 Although the Translation is selected,
- 01:34 well, I don't wanna translate, I wanna look it up in the dictionary.
- 01:37 So I will choose Dictionary on that drop-down arrow, and now down below,
- 01:41 it's giving me the definition of advantages.
- 01:43 All right, well maybe I do wanna translate this.
- 01:45 So I'll go ahead and click on Translate.
- 01:48 Notice that the encyclopedia or the dictionary just turned to translate.
- 01:52 I can choose from English to French, from English to whatever other language.
- 01:58 And I'll go ahead and choose Spanish.
- 02:01 And now when I scroll down, it has it right there, and Ta Shah.
- 02:06 I don't know that I pronounced that correctly, though.
- 02:08 All right, and maybe a thesaurus, maybe I want a different word besides advantages,
- 02:13 so I'll click thesaurus, which will give me similar words.
- 02:16 Notice I have the Research task pane and Thesaurus side by side.
- 02:19 Go ahead and just close the one you're not working with, and
- 02:22 now advantages can be compensations, rewards, recompenses, returns.
- 02:27 I'll go with compensations.
- 02:29 Now if I wanna use one of these words, I'll hit the drop-down arrow beside it.
- 02:33 I'll click Insert, and you're gonna see this word,
- 02:35 Compensations, replace Advantages on my screen.
- 02:38 Click.
- 02:39 There it is, just like that.
- 02:40 And I didn't even have to type it in there.
- 02:43 Now notice, I have a red line because the space bar is gone.
- 02:47 So if I hit my right mouse button, it's going to go ahead and
- 02:50 give me the possible correction with the spacebar between compensations of and
- 02:54 I can go and click it and select it.
- 02:56 So the Review ribbon is wonderful for
- 02:59 spelling, research, thesaurus, translation, or
- 03:03 change the language that you want to use for proofing your publications.
- 03:09 It doesn't have to be English.
- 03:10 It can be anything that is in there.
- 03:12 All right, very important feature, just so you are aware of it.
- 03:15 Thank you.
