Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Changing general settings, part of Word 2013 Essential Training.
As we moved through the various chapters in this title, we've seen Word 2013…behave a certain way in different situations,…and those behaviors can be customized by going to the options, which we're going…to do in this chapter, starting with some general options.…Let's have a new blank document on our screen, and test out a couple of things.…Let's type in My name is, and you can type your name here, David; as soon I hit…space, notice it's trying to complete David Rivers.…I'm the registered user, it knows that, so all I need to do is hit Enter, and it's…automatically completed.…
Next let's just click and drag over that text.…When we get to the end, we get the mini toolbar popping up.…That's a certain behavior.…If that annoys you, definitely, you can turn that off.…Where do we access these options?…We go to the File tab, go down to Options, and we'll start with General.…Over here on the right, you can see right at the very top, we have some User…Interface options, like the Mini Toolbar.…It shows up on selection, because it's checked off here. Don't like it?…
