Probably the first place to start in Office is learning how to use the toolbars effectively. In Microsoft Office, there are many toolbars that are available to you. If you go to View you can see all the different toolbars and formatting palette.
This is the standard toolbar.
If you go all the way to the right, then there are even more things that you can do with the standard toolbar.
The image on the right is the other options that are on the standard formatting bar. Try using the views and click on different toolbars to see how they can help create a more professional document.
