INTRODUCTION

All of Word's menu commands that are followed by an ellipses ( ) lead to a dialog box, most of which give you options for specifying exactly what you want to do before Word actually performs the command. Once you've made your selections in a dialog box, you click the OK button to tell Word to carry out the command. If you decide not to go ahead with a command, you can back out of the dialog box by clicking the Cancel button. Here you take a quick look at the elements commonly found in dialog boxes, using the Print dialog box as an example.

TIP

Selecting Options

If you see a group of option buttons (buttons that are circular in shape) in a dialog box, you can mark only one of them. In contrast, if you see a group of check boxes ( buttons that are square in shape), you can mark as many of them as you like.
