TypeEasy V2 Word Processor Tutorial

The Home Tab should be very familiar. It contains all the usual font and formatting options like you are used to with Microsoft Word. This is where you can do things like changing font style and size, adding bold/underline/italics, highlighting, etc. You can also insert bullet points or automatic numbering (when appropriate), adjust indentation, and more.

Open

At the far right, you’ll also see the Find and Replace options. More on that in another section of this page.

You are able to customize your quick access toolbar in TypeEasy V2 (the menu across the top with shortcuts to common functions). A set of default functions are included in the toolbar upon first download. However, to add additional items, simply right click on the function in the main Word toolbar and select “Add to Quick Access Ribbon”.

Open

On the Insert tab, the option for inserting a table is on the far left.

• Click the down arrow under Table to select the number of rows and columns you need. The table will then automatically insert into the document.

Once you insert a table, you’ll notice the yellow Table Tools menu at the top of the screen. Table Tools are broken into two tabs – Design and Layout.

From the Design tab, you can adjust the appearance of the table as needed, including changing border settings, shading, etc.

From the Layout tab, you can add additional rows and columns, merge/split cells, and access Table Properties.

The Table Properties option on the Layout tab allows you to customize even more options for the table. If the client wants text in the table centered or right justified in each cell, you can make those changes here.

Removing/Adding Borders to a Table

Tables automatically display with all borders shown. To hide table borders, click in the first box of the table and drag your cursor down across the entire table to highlight it. Then under the Table Tools menu, select Borders and then No Border.

To add borders back to the table, do the same thing but select All Borders instead.

Many shortcuts you are used to using in Word will still work in TypeEasy V2. If you attempt to use any shortcuts that don’t work as intended, please feel free to provide that feedback to our Typist Supervisors so we can see about adding it in.

As of v1.0.22, TypeEasy V2 supports a variety of shortcuts, including but not limited to:

Using ctrl+F or opening the Find tool will bring up the following box:

To use the Find tool, enter a term in the Find box and click Find Next.

Find and Replace:

To replace items, click the checkbox on the window above that says “Show Replace Options” to get to the following screen. Enter a search term in the Find box and what you want to replace it with in the Replace with box. Then click Replace or Replace All.

Using Replace will take you to each instance of the search term in the document. You will then click Replace again to replace each instance. You can then hit Find Next to move to the next instance.

Using Replace All will replace all instances of the search term in the document.
