Exercise 1: Basic Microsoft Word Functions Objectives 1. Perform selected word processing functions. 2. Associate basic word processing terms with selected functions. Activity 1. Start Word. (This exercise can be done using any word processing program.) 2. Create a New document. Type the following text as fast as possible. Do not correct any mistakes that you make, and do not press the Enter key. Do not pay attention to spelling errors. Outcomes-based reimbursement will change how healthcare is delivered. It is important for healthcare workers to understand what this may mean to their practice. Here are a few things that might change: (1) Payment will be based on outcomes and not volume. (2) Healthcare informatics and electronic health records will be critical to quality care. (3) Continuity of patient care will increase, and (4) Wireless technologies will facilitate capturing critical information when needed. 3. Correct the document. Make sure you are at the top of the document. Click the Spelling & Grammar icon on the QAT or click the Review tab, and the Spelling & Grammar icon . Make any corrections necessary by clicking the correct spelling from the list of suggestions provided in the Editor pane. Click the Ignore Once or Ignore All button to ignore a correctly spelled word. If no suggestion is given or incorrect words are suggested, Word doesn’t recognize the word and therefore cannot give a correct spelling. Use an appropriate dictionary for the correct spelling and type it manually if not spelled correctly. Once the word is spelled correctly, you can click the Add to Dictionary button for future checking using your computer. Word will announce the completion of the spelling and grammar check and provide readability statistics if you have chosen that option under the Proofing section of Word Options. 4.
