A few days ago I wrote a brief tutorial about downloading and installing Office Starter 2010 from Microsoft. One of the 'side-effects' of installing Microsoft Office Starter on the system is the creation of a virtual drive on the system. This drive is visible in Windows Explorer, usually mapped to letter q or r, but not accessible by the user. When you click on the drive you get the notification that the Location is not available and that access is denied.

Microsoft office starter 2007 free download - Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office Basic 2007, Microsoft Office Professional 2007, and many more programs.

Microsoft states that 'Microsoft Office Starter 2010 uses the Application Virtualization (App-V) technology', and that it 'therefore requires the creation of a Virtual Drive'.

Microsoft also notes that 'this virtual drive is intentionally not accessible by end users in order to prevent accidental damage to Microsoft Office Starter's file structure'.

While that is all fine and good, users who uninstall Office Starter will notice that the virtual drive created during installation remains on the system. And that's a issue. It took some fiddling around to find the reason for this. Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 gets installed alongside Microsoft Office Starter 2010. This is the program responsible for the creation of the virtual drive on the operating system.

It is not really clear why it is not uninstalled when Office Starter is uninstalled. Could be that Microsoft is utilizing the technology for other products as well, so that an uninstallation could prevent those programs from starting up properly.

If you are certain that no other programs depend on the Click and Run application, you can uninstall it separately. Open the Windows Control Panel and search for the Programs and Features applet.

Locate Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 (or another version depending on the Office Starter version installed) and select to uninstall it.

A restart of the computer is required to complete the removal of Office Click-to-Run and the virtual drive that it has created on the system.

Microsoft Word Starter 2010 is a word processing program designed for everyday tasks such as writing letters, updating your résumé, and creating newsletters. Word Starter is part of Microsoft Office Starter 2010, and comes pre-loaded on your computer.

Word Starter 2010 is very similar to Microsoft Word 2010 in appearance, but it does not support advanced features of the complete version of Word. If you find that you want more features, you can upgrade to Word 2010 right from Word Starter 2010. Just click Purchase on the Home tab on the ribbon.

What do you want to do?

Open Word Starter and take a look around

Open Word Starter with the Windows Start button.

  1. Click the Start button . If Word Starter is not included among the list of programs you see, click All Programs, and then click Microsoft Office Starter.

  2. Click Microsoft Word Starter 2010.

    The Word Starter startup screen appears, and a blank document is displayed.

1. Clicking the File tab opens the Backstage view of your document, where you can open and save files, get information about the current document, and perform other tasks that do not have to do with the content of the document, such as printing it or sending a copy of it in e-mail.

2. Each tab in the ribbon displays commands that are grouped by task. You'll probably spend most of your time using the Home tab, when you're typing and formatting text. Use the Insert tab to add tables, clip art, pictures, or other graphics to your document. Use the Page Layout tab to adjust margins and layout, especially for printing. Use the Mailings tab to design envelopes and labels, and to assemble mass mailings (mail merge).

3. The pane along the side of the Word Starter window includes links to Help and shortcuts to templates and clip art, to give you a head-start on creating a professional-looking document. The pane also displays advertising and a link to purchase a full-feature edition of Office.

Create a new document

When you create a document in Microsoft Word Starter 2010, you can start from scratch or you can start from a template, where some of the work is already done for you.

  1. Click File, and then click New.

  2. If you want to start with the equivalent of a blank piece of paper, double-click Blank document.

    If you want a head-start on a particular kind of document, choose one of the templates available from Office.com.

  3. Word Starter opens the blank document or template, ready for you to add your content.

Save a document

When you interrupt your work or quit, you must save your document, or you will lose your work. When you save your document, the document is saved as a file on your computer, where you can open it later to modify it and print it.

  1. Click Save on the Quick Access Toolbar.

    (Keyboard shortcut: Press CTRL+S.)

    If this document was already saved as a file, any changes you made are immediately saved in the document, and you can continue working.

  2. If this is a new document that you have not yet saved, type a name for it.

  3. Click Save.

Type and format text

Whether you start your document from a blank page or a template, you add content of your own by typing text and formatting it. You can apply formatting to whole paragraphs, as well as to particular words or phrases, to make them stand out.

  1. Type your text.

    The positioning and font of the text depends on the settings of the template you are using. Even a blank document has settings for how the text looks.

    By default, Word Starter displays text in a blank document in the Calibri, 11-point font. Paragraphs are aligned on the left, with a blank line between paragraphs.

  2. To make the document easier to read quickly, try adding headings that label where you're switching to a new topic.

    Type the heading, and press ENTER.

  3. Click anywhere in the heading you just typed, and then in the Styles group on the Home tab, point to (but don't click) Heading 1.

  4. Word Starter shows you a preview of what your heading would look like if you clicked Heading 1.

  5. Click the More down-arrow next to the style gallery, and point to the various styles.

    Notice that the styles called Heading, Title, Subtitle, Quote, Intense Quote, and List Paragraph affect the whole paragraph, while the other styles affect only the word where your cursor is positioned.

    Styles are predefined formats, designed to work together to give your document a polished look.

  6. Click to apply a style you like.

To supplement the formatting you can do with the gallery of styles, you can select the text you want to format, and then choose a command from the Font group of the Home tab.

You have many choices here, including:

  • Bold

  • Italics

  • Underline

  • Strikethrough

  • Subscript

  • Superscript

  • Color

  • Size

Adjust page margins

Adjusting margins on the page gives you more or less blank space between the content of your document and the edges of the page. By default, Word Starter sets all margins at one inch. Narrower margins fit more content on the page than wider margins, but blank space makes the document easier on the eye.

You decide whether you want to use the default margin settings or whether another setting will make the document look the way you want.

  1. On the Page Layout tab, click Margins.

  2. Click one of the pre-set configurations, or to make your own configuration, click Custom Margins, and then set dimensions in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes.

    Notes:

    • You can lay out the page horizontally instead of veritcally—for example, if your document includes a wide table. For a horizontal page, on the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Orientation, and then click Landscape.

    • By default, the U.S. English version of Word Starter uses inches to specify dimensions such as page margins. If you would rather use metric or typesetting units, click the File tab, click Options, click Advanced, and then under Display, choose the units you want to use in the Show measurements in units of box.

Tip To resize a picture, select the picture you've inserted in the document. To increase or decrease the size in one or more directions, drag a sizing handle away from or toward the center.

Insert a table

Tables give you a way to arrange content in rows and columns. This is a handy way to present information that is categorized or grouped, such as shirt sizes for your team, price and other criteria for items on a shopping list, or phone numbers and e-mail addresses for a list of contacts.

  1. Click where you want to insert a table.

    Word Starter displays what the table will look like when you click one of the table styles.

  2. To switch header-row formatting off, clear the Header Row check box in the Table Style Options group. Experiment with switching the other options off. When you find the table style you like, click it.

Check spelling

Checking the spelling of your document is a quick, easy way to save yourself embarrassment of typographical errors and misspellings in your document.

As you type, Word Starter marks spelling errors with a red, wavy underline. You can correct these by right-clicking the word and then clicking the correctly spelled word (or click Ignore if you want Word Starter to skip over this word, or click Add to Dictionary if this is a spelling you want to mark as being correct).

Word Starter marks grammatical errors with a green, wavy underline. Correct these in the same way as you correct spelling errors (click the correction that Word Starter suggests, or click Ignore Once).

Word Starter marks contextual spelling errors with a blue, wavy underline. These are words that are spelled correctly, but are not likely the word you mean. For example, in English, you might type, 'Let me no.' The word 'no' is spelled correctly, but the word you meant is 'know.' Right-click the word, and click the correct spelling (or click Ignore to skip it).

If you want to check spelling throughout the document, on the Home tab, click Spelling.

(Keyboard shortcut: Press F7.)

Print

Before you print a document, it's a good idea to preview it to make sure that it looks the way you want. When you preview a document in Word Starter, it opens in the Microsoft Office Backstage view. In this view, you can change some page setup options before you print.
