How to Install Microsoft Word: July 2011

Microsoft Word - is a commercial word processor designed by Microsoft. It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), the AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1986), SCO UNIX, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows (1989). It is a component of the Microsoft Office software system; it is also sold as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Works Suite. The current versions are Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac.

Before you install Microsoft Word 2003 on your computer you must check if your operating system is compatible with the system requirements of the program.

To locate general information regarding your operating system:

Click on the Start button in Microsoft Windows.

Locate My Computer or Computer which is generally located on the right hand side of the menu. This will open a window displaying folders such as Owner’s Documents, DVD/CD-Rom Drive, and Local Disk (C:).

Find the System Tasks menu on the right hand side of the My Computer window and click on View System Information.

This will open a window displaying General information such as what edition, version, and service pack you currently have installed, as well as how much memory you have available and what processor you are working with.

All Microsoft Word 2003 components have approximately the same system requirements:

A Microsoft Windows XP operating system or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later.

A minimum of 64MB of RAM and a recommended 128MB of RAM.

245MB of memory and 115MB of available disk space on your hard drive.

A Pentium III processor is recommended; however, a Pentium 233 MHz Processor or higher is required.

A monitor with 256 colors and Super VGA (800x600).

A CD-Rom drive and a mouse

Some additional requirements are necessary to operate specific Microsoft Word 2003 add-ons and/or components:

You will need Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher to access InfoPath 2003.

To use speech recognition software, you will need a Pentium II 400MHz processor or higher.

Office OneNote 2003 requires a Tablet PC pen input to capture handwritten notes in digital ink.

The Internet and a Webcam are needed to enjoy the full collaboration benefits of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.

Once you have checked all your system requirements, you are ready to install Microsoft Word 2003:

Click Start in Microsoft Windows.

Once the Start menu is visible, click on Control Panel.

From here, click on the Control Panel icon to open the Control Panel window.

Open Add or Remove Programs. In this window you will see options to add programs from a CD-Rom or as part of a Windows Update.

Click on CD or Floppy.

A window will appear that will walk you through the installation process. First, insert the Microsoft Word 2003 installation disk into your CD-Rom drive and select Next.

After carefully following the instructions in this window, you will be prompted to restart your computer. After doing so you will be notified that a new program has been added – Congratulations! You now have Microsoft Windows 2003 on your computer!

Microsoft Word 2003

Setting up a document to save in Microsoft Word can be done in just a few easy steps, after which you can quickly save with one key stroke or set AutoSave options to save mechanically. Note that these instructions were developed for users of Word 2003. If you are using another version of the software, the steps may be slightly different.

1. Selecting “Save” from the File Menu
If this is the first time you are saving this file, you will be brought to the “Save As” screen. First, select which folder you would like your file to appear in, or create a folder by selecting “Create New Folder.” Then, name your file by clicking the white “File Name” box. Just below this box you will see the “Save as type” drop-down menu and from here you have the option of saving your file as the following formats: Word Document, XML Document, Single File Web Page, Web Page, Filtered, Document Template, Rich Text Format, Plain Text, Word 97 – 2003 & 6.0/95 RTF, Works 4x, Works 6.0 & 7.0, and Works 7.0.

2. Quickly Saving
Once you’ve named your file, designated where it will appear, and what type of file it is, you can quickly save by clicking the picture of a disk that is located just below the Edit Menu found at the top right of the screen. If you would like to save your file in multiple folders, select the “Save As” option found in the File Menu and repeat Step 1.

3. Automatically Saving
AutoSave isn’t a replacement for manually saving your file but it is a good option for backing up your work, and I recommend taking the time to enable this feature. To set up AutoSave, go to your Tool Menu and select “Options.” In this menu you will find a tab titled “Save” and from here you can set the following AutoSave features: Always create backup copy, Allow fast saves, Embed TrueType fonts, Prompt for document properties, Prompt to save Normal template, Save data only for forms, Embed linguistic data, Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives, Save AutoRecover info every: (choose your increment) minutes, Embed smart tags, Save smart tags as XML properties in Web pages, Save Word files as: (choose your preferred type), and Disable features introduced after (click to enable).
It is important to select an increment of time for AutoSave/AutoRecovery. These two options are your first defense in retrieving data in an unforeseen emergency such as your program freezing or a power failure. And remember to save manually, make back-ups, and save often!
