Word - Styles, Formatting and Templates | Formatting takes on new meaning when you create complex or long documents that contain recurring elements, such as headings, formatted paragraphs, figure captions, table headings, and so forth. Spending time formatting components one by one in a document that contains a variety of elements can easily lead to hours of tedium and increased chances of formatting errors. Conveniently, you can eliminate repetitive formatting tasks in Word by using styles.The bottom line is that instead of formatting each paragraph in a document separately by using toolbar buttons, keyboard shortcuts, menu commands, and dialog box options, you can make better use of your time and resources by creating and using styles. Fortunately, if you're comfortable using Word but are new to styles, you needn't worry-creating, using, and modifying styles are skills that are well within your grasp.

Word - Tools for Newsletters, Brochures, Reports, Manuals and Scholarly Papers | When you work in Microsoft Word, you probably take for granted how Word seamlessly flows text from margin to margin and page to page.

Word 2007 - Basic | The good: Microsoft Word 2007 adds built-in blogging and live previews of font and image styles; better displays complex features such as those for references and mass mailing; introduces new, smaller file formats; improves document security; integrates with other applications.
The bad: Word 2007 moves all of its commands; contextual tabs and style galleries can be distracting; new Word file formats require converters in order to be opened in Word 2000 through 2003; no free way to save work to the Web.
The bottom line: If you're ready to let go of old habits from previous versions of Word and want to make sleeker-looking documents, Microsoft Word 2007 is worth the upgrade. However, less-expensive alternatives handle its core features without the clutter. |
Word 2007 - Building Blocks | Building blocks are items within a document that you save using the Quick Parts tool to be reused in other documents. For example, you might save your company’s contact information or mission statement, a design for a report opening, a special list style that you use in your documents regularly, or a staff roster you include on finished publications.
Microsoft Office Word 2007 helps you recycle content in business documents by creating and using building blocks (once called boiler plating). This article shows you how to create building blocks from your existing content and apply them in your documents.
• Create and use document building blocks in Office Word 2007
• Reuse and distribute parts of a document
• Create and distribute boilerplate text
• Content controls Description of
• Content controls in Word 2007 |
Word 2007 - Create Writable Forms | Starting with a template, you can add content controls and instructional text in Microsoft Office Word 2007 to quickly and easily create a form that you can send to others to fill out using Office Word 2007 on their computer. In an advanced scenario, any content controls that you add to a form can also be linked to data.
You can also create a form by starting with a sample template. Many are available on the Microsoft Office Online Web site.
You can print a form that was created by using content controls in Office Word 2007, but the boxes around the content controls will not be printed.
• Displaying and using the Developers Ribbon
• Designing the form
• Set or change properties for content controls
• Add protection to the form
• Working with Form Fields including text, check box, and drop-down |
Word 2007 - Overview | In previous releases of Microsoft Office applications, you used a system of menus, toolbars, task panes, and dialog boxes to create your documents. This system worked well when the applications had a limited number of commands. Now that the programs do so much more, the menus and toolbars system does not work as well. Many program features are hard to find. For this reason, the overriding design goal for the Office Fluent user interface in Word 2007 is to make it easier for you to find and use the full range of features these applications provide while preserving an uncluttered workspace.
The overall look of the redesigned applications is new, but most people quickly feel at home in the interface and rapidly become accustomed to the new way the application works. You will find it much easier and quicker to produce great looking documents. However, the interface is so different virtually all commands are modified in their initial steps. |
Word 2007 - Smart Art & Drawings | A SmartArt graphic is a visual representation of your information that you can quickly and easily create, choosing from among many different layouts, to effectively communicate your message or ideas.
Most content that is created by using 2007 Microsoft Office system programs is textual, even though the use of illustrations improves understanding and memory and encourages action. Creating designer-quality illustrations can be challenging, especially if you are not a professional designer or you cannot afford to hire a professional designer. If you use earlier versions of Microsoft Office, you can spend a lot of time getting shapes to be the same size and to be aligned properly, getting your text to look right, and manually formatting the shapes to match the document's overall style, instead of focusing on your content. With the new 2007 Office release feature called SmartArt graphics, and other new features such as themes, you can create designer-quality illustrations with only a few clicks of your mouse.

• Group or ungroup shapes or objects
• Align or arrange a picture, shape, text box, or WordArt
