Introduction
Welcome to Velsofts courseware for Microsoft Office Word 2010, Microsofts flagship productivity software. This new version of Word incorporates many new features and connectivity options in an effort to make collaboration and production as easy as possible. This Intermediate level is intended to help everyday computer users become more proficient with Word. The major topics in this manual include how to manage documents on your computer; working with templates, headers, and footers; using the new Navigation Pane; and using the Mail Merge Wizard. By the end of this manual, you should be comfortable with making more complex documents. This manual was created using Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus. Our test machine was a 32-bit computer that used Windows 7 Ultimate. You can use any version of Windows that is accessible to you. Users of Windows Vista will notice very few interface changes, while users of Windows XP may need a short tutorial on the interface differences shown in Lesson 1.1 and 1.2. Any feature specific to Windows 7 in this manual will be marked as such. Occasionally, this manual may reference where certain keys are on the keyboard (such as Insert, Home, or Page Up). These directions are given based on a standard desktop keyboard that contains a separate number pad. Laptop keyboards may be different or have combined keys.
Prerequisites
This manual assumes you have completed the Foundation level of Velsofts Microsoft Office Word 2010 courseware or has equivalent knowledge of the basics in Word. If you have never used Microsoft Office Word, you may need a brief tutorial on using the ribbon and Quick Access toolbar. Experience with using a Web browser is also required.
You can use the Navigation Pane to select a primary save location, such as a hard drive, network folder, or USB flash drive. You can also use the Address Bar to type a location. Each location can be traced back to a single hard disk or storage drive. If you navigate too far in the folder structure, use the back and forward Navigation Buttons to retrace your steps.
Now that we know how to navigate, lets explore how to use Windows Explorer to perform tasks.
Note the New folder button to the right of the Organize menu. Click this command to add a new folder inside the current folder. Give the new folder a name, press Enter, and youll have a new place to save files!
If you right-click a file (this doesnt necessarily have to be a Word document), you will see a menu similar to the following:
As you can see, you can do quite a lot of file management from within Windows Explorer. You can create new folders, create or delete files, or select which program you want to use with a particular file all while opening a Word document!
Also note the Share with and Send to options: Share with allows you to share this particular folder with members of your computer network or other people whose contact information is available on your computer. Send to lets you transfer a file from one part of your computer to another. This is very useful if you want to put something on a USB flash drive. Simply plug in the drive right-click file(s) Send to (USB flash drive name). Just remember that the commands you see in the right-click menu may be different, depending on the file type.
Lets take a moment to go through the different views. Extra Large Icons Shows an extra-large thumbnail of the first page in the document if the document has been saved with a preview picture. (This option is found in the files properties.)
Large Icons
Medium Icons
With this view, icons are still large enough to easily identify which program will be able to open and edit the file:
Small Icons
List
List view is the most space-saving of all the views. File names are displayed in columns from left to right:
Details
Vital statistics for the files are shown. Note the headings above each column. If you click these headings, you can sort files in ascending or descending order:
We will explore how to sort and group files with the other views in a moment. Tiles A combination of Medium Icons and Small Icons. This is the default view when browsing for files using Windows Explorer via Word:
Content
Offers everything that Details shows plus the name of the author(s):
No matter which view you use, you can arrange icons just like using the column headers in Details view. Just right-click an empty portion of Windows Explorer, click Sort by or Group by, and choose your criteria:
10
If you are using Windows Vista, the Navigation Pane should look roughly the same:
If you move your mouse pointer inside the Navigation Pane, you will see small arrows appear beside each item, just as they do beside the individual Libraries shown above. The arrows mean that there are folders or sub-locations associated with the item. If an arrow is white (as it is beside Documents), the sub-locations are hidden. If an arrow is black (as it is beside Libraries), the sub-locations are visible. Click a white arrow to expand the group or click a black arrow to collapse a group. Lets go over the main areas in the Navigation Pane. From top to bottom, they are: <Program Name> Favorites In the case of Word 2010, expanding this section lets you browse templates. We will explore templates later in this manual. Click one of these items to show the contents of folders that you use most often. You can customize this section by adding your own locations. We will explore this in a moment. Unless you already have a method of filing Word documents, you will likely use the Documents library to store and access your files. Browse the hard disks or portable storage drives connected to your
Libraries Computer
11
computer. Network If you are part of a network, you might have access to external storage. This might include another computer, a file server, a Network Access Storage (NAS) device, or some other means of storing information.
You can customize the Favorites section of the Navigation Pane. Simply click and drag any folder to the Favorites section:
It will then remain there as one-click access to that location in your computer.
12
To remove a link in the Favorites pane, right-click the item and click Remove. Here, we are removing the Stationery folder:
13
14
There are four file property headings shown here: Properties The vital statistics of the file are listed here. The bottom three fields are editable; click inside them and type a title, add tags, or add comments. Click the Properties heading to display more options:
Show Document Panel will open a pane above your document where you can change properties while you type:
Advanced Properties displays a separate dialog which lets you view and modify all properties of the document in one location. Related Dates Lists when the file was created, last modified, and last printed.
15
Related People
Your user name will appear beside the author heading. If you have access to a SharePoint server, use Microsoft Exchange, or have an established list of contacts stored on your computer, you can add or validate others as authors who have contributed to the document:
Related Documents
If you use a consistent method of file categorization, chances are you keep similar documents in the same folder. Therefore, if you are viewing properties and want to keep the properties consistent with related files in the same location, click Open File Location. A new Windows Explorer window will appear. You can then right-click other files and click Properties to ensure consistency:
16
You can now choose a format from the pull-down menu at the bottom of the dialog:
Some file formats have different save options that you can modify before saving, so watch the dialog closely! Heres a list of formats that are available for saving: Word Document (.docx) This is the default format for Word 2010 and Word 2007. With the Save dialog, you can add new authors or tag the file. You can also save a thumbnail, which will let you look at the first page of the document with most views in Windows Explorer.
Word Macro-Enabled Document (.docm) These are Word documents with macros. Macros are short, specific pieces of code that allow the document to perform some functionality, such as to access data from a database file. Extra save options are the same as shown for the .docx file type. Word 97-2003 Document (.doc) This is the default format for Word documents from versions 97 to 2003. We will explore compatibility issues with Word 97-2003 files at the end of this section. Extra save options are the same as shown for the .docx file type. Word Template (.dotx) This is the format for Word 2010 and Word 2007 templates. Extra save options are the same as shown for the .docx file type.
17
Word Macro-Enabled Template (.dotm) This is the format for Word 2010 and Word 2007 templates with macros. Extra save options are the same as shown for the .docx file type. Word 97-2003 Template (.dot) The default format for Word templates in versions 97 to 2003. Extra save options are the same as shown for the .docx file type. PDF (.pdf) PDF stands for Portable Document Format. This file format creates a non-editable version of the file that is useful for distribution to others. PDF files are viewable on nearly every computing platform, including handheld devices and smartphones. We will explore PDF publication later in this manual. The options for this file mainly deal with the quality that you want to produce:
XPS Document (.xps) XPS stand for XML Paper Specification. This format is Microsofts version of a PDF file. XPS publishing options are identical to those shown above for PDF. We will explore XPS publication later. Single File Web Page (.mht) This is a Web page saved as a single file, also known as a Web archive. With the Save options, you can give the page a title:
Web Page (.htm) This format saves a file as HyperText Markup Language, a format used by Web browsers. Word also makes a folder with the same name as the file to store any media files and other supporting information. Extra options are the same as those shown for the .mht file type.
18
Web Page, Filtered (.htm) This file type is Similar to Web page, but with Office-specific information (tags) removed. Some Office features may not be available if you try to reopen the file in Word. Extra options are the same as those shown for the .mht file type. Rich Text Format (.rtf) This is a proprietary Microsoft format with support for basic elements. This format is similar to .doc but with fewer features. Plain Text Plain text format can be opened by almost any word processing program on nearly every computing platform. When you click Save there are a number of encoding options to customize:
Word XML Document (.xml) This type of file contains XML information about the Word 2010 or Word 2007 document. Additional save options are shown below:
19
Word 2003 XML Document (.xml) This type of file contains XML information about the Word 2003 document. Additional save options are shown below:
OpenDocument Text (.odt) This is a file format used by the OpenOffice.org productivity suite, an open-source software productivity suite with many of the same features as Microsoft Office. Note that some elements of a Word 2010 document are not supported by OpenOffice.org. Here are the additional save options:
This is a new feature for Office 2010. Works 6-9 Document (.wps) Microsoft Works is a now discontinued software productivity suite for home use. Works contains basic formatting options (like .rtf) that are suitable for things like letters or school papers. You can also download converters from the Microsoft Office Web site to save files in other formats, like Corel WordPerfect. Visit http://office.microsoft.com and search for document converter. Some file formats may not support all of the features you have in your document; if this is the case you will get a warning when you try to save to that format. This warning will let you know what aspects will be changed, and its up to you if you want to continue.
20
Both formats let you specify how much detail you would like to include when saving the file. Choose between Standard and Minimum size:
Standard will provide the best quality overall. Minimum size will decrease the quality of pictures and other graphical elements in the document. This also means that users with portable devices or slower Internet connections wont have to download a large file.
21
If you click the Options button, you will see one of the following dialogs appear on your screen, depending on the chosen file type: PDF Options XPS Options
With these dialogs, you can specify which pages will be published. There are also checkboxes that will allow you to include or exclude non-printing information such as file properties or document structure information. Once you have chosen the settings you want, you can click the OK button to return to the Save As dialog. Give the file a name and save location, and then click Save.
22
23
Here is the PDF version of the same document shown in Adobe Reader:
There are a number of different PDF readers available on the Internet. One of the most popular and most up-to-date is Adobe Reader, available for free download from http://www.adobe.com. If you have saved an XPS file on a computer that contains Microsoft Office 2010 or 2007, you should be able to double-click the file and view it with the XPS Viewer. If you do not have the XPS viewer installed, you can download the program for free from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/viewxps.mspx.
24
Then you will see the General Options dialog. First, decide what type of password you want. You can choose to have a password to open and to modify the document, or both. Once youve decided, enter the password in the proper text field, and click OK:
25
Test your file by trying to open it. In this case, we applied a password that would need to be entered when the file is opened and then clicked OK:
If you enter an incorrect password, you will not be able to open the file:
To remove the password, simply open the General Options dialog again and delete the password.
Using AutoRecover
If you are used to using computers, youll probably have discovered that Word (and Windows) do not always work as they should. Murphys Law states that if something can go wrong, it will. Fortunately, Word does feature a backup option to help minimize the loss of data that may be suffered due to things like software bugs, crashes, or power and hardware failures.
26
To modify AutoRecover options, click File Options Save. To turn AutoRecover on, make sure that the Save AutoRecover information box is checked. You can specify how often you want Word to save your changes as well as the backup location. Unless you are advised otherwise, we recommend using the default options:
If Word or Windows crashes when AutoRecover is enabled, you will see a task pane appear on the left when you re-open Word. This task pane will list all the files you had open when Word crashed, and the various versions of those files.
You can right-click any file in this list to open the file, save it, or delete it. You can leave the task pane open while you view the different versions of your file until you determine which one you
27
want to keep. You may also see this pane if Word detects errors in your file while opening it. If this is the case, you can right-click on the repaired file and click Show Repairs. If you try to close the recovered file without having viewed all the files, you will see a warning stating that some recovered files have not yet been opened. You will then have the option to save or delete the recovered file, or to cancel out of the dialog and return to your document.
28
If you are working with a compatible document format, some of Word 2010s more advanced features wont be available in the older format. For example, if you try to save a document containing an elaborate SmartArt diagram in Word 97-2003 format, you will receive the following warning:
SmartArt didnt exist in Word 2003 or earlier. However, Word can convert the SmartArt diagram to an image and then save the document.
29
Similarly, if you opened a document made with Word 97-2003 in Word 2010, Compatibility Mode still allows you to create a SmartArt diagram. However, the diagram will only be composed of different shape objects which were available in these versions of Word. We will explore Words compatibility features in more detail later.
30
You will be instructed to save the file if you have not already done so:
This ensures that any personal information that may be associated with the document has been committed, meaning the inspector can find it in the future. Next, choose what elements the Document Inspector should look for. By default, all types of personal information are slated for inspection. Click the Inspect button:
31
After a moment, anything the Document Inspector finds will be listed. Details of the data are also, shown, as well as the option to remove any personal information. Click Remove All to remove the items found by the inspector:
If you do choose to remove any personal data, we recommend that you run the Document Inspector again and ensure that anything you want removed is taken care of.
32
33
When you click this command, the File menu will close and the Accessibility Checker pane will appear on the right hand side:
At the top, Word has listed all objects that do not use in line with text wrapping and therefore may not be recognized by a text to speech reader. They have also suggested that we check the reading order of certain tables and provided some additional information to help us make our document as accessible as possible.
34
You can click any item to see why and how to fix that issue:
When youre done with the Accessibility Checker, close it as you would any other task pane (with the X in the top right hand corner of the pane). You can re-open it whenever you want from the File Info Check for Issues command.
35
To mark a document as final, click File Info Protect Document Mark as Final:
You will be warned of the action youre about to take. Click OK:
Another explanation will appear stating that typing, editing, and proofing marks are turned off:
36
The Info tab in the Backstage menu shows that the document is now marked as final and the file has been made read-only:
If you close the Backstage menu, the ribbon is minimized and you will see a warning appear at the top of the window:
If you click Edit Anyway, the files read-only status is disabled and the file is ready to edit with no restrictions. To mark the file as final again, you will have to click File Info Protect Document Mark as Final again.
Encrypting Documents
Once your document is finally finished, you may want to take some measures to protect it. Encryption is one of these measures. Encrypting a document is like locking a padlock: only someone with a key can open it. The difference between encrypting a document and setting a password through the Save As dialog is that encryption is much stronger. If someone intercepts your document and tries to open it or read the file contents, the file will appear as a garbled mess. The password is the key to unlock the encryption and decode the file contents.
37
To encrypt a document, click File Info Protect Document Encrypt with Password:
Enter a password and click OK. You will immediately be prompted to enter the password again and make sure you have it right:
38
39
Once you click the Add a Digital Signature command, you will see more information on the process:
If you click Signature Services from the Office Marketplace, your default Web browser will appear and direct you to the Office.com Web site. Here you can view and purchase digital signatures from Microsoft partners. If you click OK, you will see the following dialog. Enter a reason for signing the document and click Sign:
40
The Info item in the File menu will now show that the document has been signed and has been marked as final:
If you are planning to use digital signatures on a regular basis, we recommend obtaining a digital identity from a Microsoft partner. You can also search the Internet for different companies what offer digital signatures, including free signatures. Speak with your IT department to determine what type of digital signature will be best for your needs.
41
First, click in the document to place the cursor wherever you would like the signature line to be. Click the Signature Line command on the Text group of the Insert tab:
You will then see a warning explaining that some digital signatures may not be acceptable as evidence in a court of law:
42
If you click OK, you will then be prompted to enter information for the person who will sign the document:
43
If youre transmitting the document electronically and using a digital signature, right-click the signature line to digitally sign it.
44
45
To see more information, click Tell Me More. To proceed with the conversion, click OK. To stop the conversion, click Cancel. Make sure that you note the warning that says your original document will be replaced in this process. If you want to keep the original document, make sure you save it with a different name before converting.
46
To use this command, click File Info Check for Issues Check Compatibility:
47
Word will look through your document for possible issues. It will then let you know what elements are incompatible and how they will be dealt with upon saving:
Some problems will have a solution; others are simply items you need to be aware of. Once you have made note of the possible issues, click OK. You can now decide what changes should be made before you save your document in Word 97-2003 or Word 2007 formats. Note the combo box at the top of the dialog: it allows you to have the Compatibility Checker scan for issues for both Word 97-2003 and Word 2007 issues. By default, the Compatibility Checker will look for issues with both versions:
48
49
Next, click the Advanced item in the list on the left and scroll to the very bottom. Under the Compatibility options heading, you can choose to apply these settings (which well get to in a second) to the current document or all future documents. Now you can pick the default layout for a number of different programs capable of using Word documents:
50
The real usability of this command comes into play if you expand the Layout Options heading:
There are over 60 options here for you to choose from. You can enable or disable whatever you need to ensure your file includes everything you want it to have.
51
One of the first options should be the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats. Also note the two service packs (abbreviated SP; bulk updates to improve performance and reliability) that were available at the time of publication:
Download and install the compatibility pack on the machine you use for Office 97-2003. This functionality will allow you to save your files as .docx, thus eliminating the danger that converting your file to the new format could change formatting in your document.
52
Now, you will see a copy of the document in a new window. The title bars of the windows will now be labeled :1, :2, :3, etc., based on when the copy was opened:
53
Arranging Windows
If you have multiple documents open, you can arrange them all with the click of a button. Just click the Arrange Windows command on the View tab. You can do this in any of the Word windows:
In this case, we had four documents open. Heres what the screen looked like after we click Arrange All:
The four documents are still open, but they are all arranged so that you can see them all at one time. Note that each window has Minimize, Maximize, and Close controls. You can also drag the title bar to move the window, or place your mouse at the bottom of the window and click to make the window smaller or bigger.

54
Once you click View Side by Side, you will be prompted to choose a document to compare the current one with, if you have more than one open.
55
Lets look at commands on the Window group of the View tab that will be useful in this view:
View Side by Side will turn the view on or off. Synchronous Scrolling toggles simultaneous scrolling on or off. (If this feature is on, where you scroll to in one document will control where you scroll to in the other.) Reset Window Position resets the two windows so that they take up the same amount of space on the screen.
56
If you use Windows 7, you can use Aero Snap to view two documents (or any two windows in fact) in a similar side by side layout. To do this, click and drag the title bar of one document to the left or right side of the screen. A border will appear and take up half of the screen, like this:
Release the mouse button to make the window take up half of the screen. You can now click and drag the title of another window to the other side, thereby filling the other half of your screen with the other window.
57
Splitting a Document
The last feature on the Window group that were going to examine really does let you be in two places at once! You can split the document and view two places in the document at the same time. To use this feature, first click the Split command on the View tab.
The mouse cursor will turn into a long bar. Click inside the editing window to place the split.
58
You can now view and edit two places in your document at once:
You can also place a split by clicking and dragging the small dash at the top of the scroll bar:
59
To move the split, click and drag it up or down the height of the window:
To remove the split, click Remove Split. You can also drag the split up to the top of the page and it will disappear.
60
You want to look at the first page of your document and make sure that it is using the same formatting as the last page. Which tool will you use? Compare Side by Side Split New Window Arrange All What is the difference between adding a password to a document and encrypting it? Passwords are made of text while encryption is made of numbers Passwords are stronger Encryption is stronger There is no difference What does marking a document as final do?

63
Creating a Template
You have three options available when creating a template: using the ones included with Word, downloading templates available via Office.com, or creating a template from scratch. Once your template is ready to go and contains all the necessary information, save it using one of the three template file options. (We will discuss saving a template in the next part of this lesson.) Your first option is to start from one of the templates included with Word. To do this, click File New Sample templates:
64
Next, choose a template from the Installed Templates list. Click the Template radio button and then click Create:
You are now able to customize the template to your liking. Remember that the information in the template should be generic or include information that will be used regularly, like a company address.
65
In this letter example, you might want to include your name, but leave the date blank:
66
The next method of creating a template is to download and save one from Office.com. You can browse these templates only if you are connected to the Internet. Click File New and then scroll through the list of Office.com Templates. Double-click a category to browse:
67
You can also use the search bar beside the Office.com Templates heading to search for a specific type of template:
68
Once you have found a template you like, highlight it and then click Download:
The downloaded template will be ready to use and save as a regular Word document. The final option for a template is to create one yourself. Simply add tables, pictures, address headings, or whatever you need to your document. Remember, stick with generic information that will be used each time you create this document.
69
Saving a Template
Once relevant information has been placed in the template, save it by clicking File Save As. Just remember to choose a template option as the file type:
By default, Word should direct you to the Templates folder, part of your computer profile. This will ensure that it is displayed in the My Templates dialog, which well look at in a moment.
Using a Template
Using a template is easy: just double-click the template file. This will open a new document based on that template. The title bar of Word will show the file name as Document1, Document2, etc.:
Make changes to the document as you see fit and then click File Save As.
70
You can create a new file based on a template from within Word by clicking File New My Templates:
71
Templates will only be available here if they have been saved in the default location. For Windows Vista and Windows 7, this path is: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
Editing a Template
We just showed that double-clicking a template file will open a new Word document based on the template, not the actual template. In order to open the template itself, right-click the template file and click Open:
Notice that the default action for a template (New in bold text) is to create a new file based on the template. The template file will open and let you make changes. Words title bar will display the template name (not Document1, Document2, etc.). You can also view the file properties to ensure you are working with the correct file:
72
73
Now open the old document you want to enhance with the new template. Click Developer Document Template:
The Templates and Add-ins dialog will appear. Click the Attach button:
74
Choose the template that you want to attach to the document and click Open:
Back in the Templates and Add-ins dialog, check Automatically update document styles and click OK:
The old document will now be using the components defined in the template. You will likely need to do some tweaking to the template, but the structure should be intact.
75
Types of Lists
There are three types of lists you can create in Word: bulleted, numbered, and multilevel: Bulleted Here are some actions you can take to deal with anger: Take a deep breath and relax. Stay calm. No sarcasm, no attacks. Take a time-out. Cool off, then come back and deal with it. Break it down. Anger often comes from lumping things together. Here are some actions you can take to deal with anger: 1. Take a deep breath and relax. 2. Stay calm. No sarcasm, no attacks. 3. Take a time-out. Cool off, then come back and deal with it. 4. Break it down. Anger often comes from lumping things together. 1) Point 1 a) Sub-point A b) Sub-point B 2) Point 2 a) Sub-point A i) Sub-sub-point i ii) Sub-sub point ii b) Sub-point B 3) Point 3 4) Point 4 a) Sub-point A
Numbered
Multilevel
76
To convert existing text to a simple bulleted or numbered list, select the text:
Then, click either the bullet or the number icon on the Paragraph group of the Home tab to apply that type of list:
77
You can also click the drop-down arrow next to either icon to choose a different format. Note the Recently Used and Document sections in each menu. Use these sections to quickly pick a recently-used item or a type of list already used in the document in order to maintain consistency:
To create a list while you type, click the Bullets or Numbering command. Type the information for the first bullet or number and then press Enter to move to the next level:
78
Once you have completed entering the items in your list, press Enter. A new bullet/number will be created (we will cover list continuity later):
Now you can either press Enter or the press the Backspace key three times to signify the end of the list. Pressing Enter will remove the extra empty bullet/number and move the cursor to the next line:
Pressing Backspace three times will result in the following actions: 1. Deletes the bullet/number; cursor stays under the text 2. Moves the cursor under the bullets/numbers 3. Moves the cursor back to the page margin Be aware that when creating a list, any paragraph that the cursor happens to be inside will be the first item in your bulleted/numbered list. If this isnt what you wanted to do, click Undo in the Quick Access Toolbar or press Ctrl + Z, and then move your cursor to a new line.
79
To start, select the text or move to a new line. Click the Multilevel List command and select a style of list. Hover over an option for more detail. As you can see, Word comes equipped with a number of different list styles:
80
To indent an item, click the Increase Indent command in the Paragraph group of the Home tab or press Tab:
To decrease the indent level of an item, click the Decrease Indent command (or press Shift + Tab):
81
If you have a complex multilevel list, you can easily change the level of an item or group of items by using the Multilevel List command. Click in the level you want to change, or select the levels you want to promote or demote through the ranks of your list. Then click Multilevel List Change List Level and select the level:
82
83
When using bullets, you can choose from the following options:
There are three buttons available: Symbol Picture Font Select from different punctuation, Greek characters, and special characters including copyright () and monetary symbols. Choose from a wide variety of colored bullets or import your own small picture. This button provides full font customization to use a single character as a bullet.
You can use the menu below the buttons to choose the alignment of the bullet in relation to its content.
84
When using numbers, you can choose a number style, font, format, and alignment:
85
When using multilevel lists, you can adjust the alignment, indent, and appearance of each level. This includes formatting the way the identifiers are labeled and the position of the indent.
86
You can also create a list style. The basic options are right in the dialog, but you can view additional options by clicking Format and choosing a dialog:
87
Once you have defined a style, the new styles will appear in the drop-down list for you to use.
Continuing a List
You can continue a bulleted or numbered list in your document in a couple of ways. The easiest way is to place your cursor at the end of the last item in the current list and press Enter. This works for all types of lists:
88
The real advantage of continuing a list becomes evident when you work with numbered lists. Imagine that you have a numbered list of major points in your document:
89
If you have used the same numbering style, you can right-click the second set of numbers and choose to continue the numbering. You can also click Set Numbering Value to choose what starting value the list will have:
Take note of the other commands available for working with lists. If Word has continued numbering and you wish to restart the numbering, that command will be available in the rightclick menu. You can also increase or decrease the indent of list items with the right-click menu.
90
91
This lesson will focus on the Indents and Spacing tab. When working with these settings, remember that most changes you make will be visible at the bottom of the dialog (in the Preview area).
Applying Alignment
When you open the Paragraph dialog, the first set of options you will see are related to text and object alignment for the different levels of the document. Use the Alignment combo box to set Left, Centered, Right, or Justified alignment and then choose which outline level will use that alignment:
Unless you have specific need to align the levels of your document (as defined in Outline view), you will probably never change the Outline level.
92
Applying Indentation
The Indentation section of the dialog lets you control indentation relative to the page margins:
Here, you can indent from the left or the right margins, or you can check Mirror indents to have options for inside and outside indents. You can also choose a first line or hanging indent from the Special menu, and then set the amount in the By text box. Remember that as you change settings, you will see a preview at the bottom of the dialog.
Applying Spacing
The last set of options relate to text and paragraph spacing. These options offer finer control than the commands in the Paragraph group. On the left, you can set the point value before and after the current paragraph:
The options on the right let you choose pre-defined line spacing:
93
Heres an overview of the choices: Single 1.15 1.5 lines Double At least Provides a small space between lines. Default line spacing for all new Word documents. Provides one and a half times the space of single spacing between lines. Provides double the space of single spacing between lines. Ensures a minimum amount of space between lines. This can be useful if youre combining large and small text in a line. Enter the font point size in the text box. Sets the exact space between lines. Enter a multiple number in the At box to set spacing at a certain multiple of single spacing. For example, you would enter the number 3 for text to be triple-spaced.
Exactly Multiple
The checkbox at the bottom allows you to remove the spaces between paragraphs of the same styles. (We will explore styles in much greater detail in Velsofts Microsoft Office Word 2010 Advanced courseware.) You can combine before and after spacing with line spacing, and you can combine all spacing options with indent and alignment options.
94
95
Setting Defaults
Any setting that you change in the Paragraph dialog can be set as the default for either all paragraphs in this document or all new documents that are based on the current template. This command is very useful if you are creating a series of templates because it offers yet another way to keep things consistent. Just click the Set As Default button:
Sorting Text
If you have used a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Office Excel, you know that it is easy to sort data, even if the data is text. However, did you know that Word offers similar features? Word 2010 can sort bulleted/numbered lists or entire paragraphs based on the first letter of the first word. Consider the following numbered list:
96
To sort this list, select all list items and then click the Sort command on the Home tab:
The Sort Text dialog box will appear. Select Ascending or Descending order and then click OK:
97
The selected text will then be sorted; in this case, by ascending alphabetical order. Note that as this was a numbered list, the numbers beside each item have changed:
98
Using Columns
Microsoft Word has the ability to divide your text into columns. One column can also be linked to another. To create columns, select the text that you want to format. Click Page Layout Columns and choose how many columns you want to add:
99
The selected text will then be split equally across the number of columns you have chosen:
If you dont like the preset choices, you can click More Columns at the bottom of the Columns command. The Columns dialog box will appear:
100
As you can see, there are lots of options available: Choose from one, two, or three columns, or choose the left/right aligned column option. Columns can have a vertical line between each one to help with document readability. You can define the number of columns and properties of each column. Finally, you can specify to apply these column settings to the current section, from here forward, or the whole document. (We will explore section breaks later in this lesson.) After you have inserted columns, Word will automatically break the text across the columns. However, you can also use the Breaks command on the Page Layout tab to manually control where text is placed in the columns:
101
The difference between a line break (Shift + Enter) and a paragraph break (Enter) is easier to see if you turn on hidden formatting. Click the Show/Hide command in the Paragraph group of the Home tab:
Here you can see the automatic paragraph break at the end of the second line and a manual line break at the end of the third line (highlighted by the arrows):
To remove a line break, just backspace over it. Even if you cant see the special characters, Word will still remove the break.
102
You can also click to place your cursor where you want to place the break, and then click Page Layout Breaks Page:
If you still have paragraph formatting shown, a page break looks like this:
If you later want to remove a page break, place your cursor at the beginning of the page after the page break and press Backspace. This will move the rest of the document up and fill the gap left by the page break.
103
To insert a section break, click to place your cursor where you want the break to appear. Click the Break command and choose what kind of section break you want to create:
Next Page
This command places a combination page break and section break and then moves to the next page:
Continuous
Even Page
If you use page numbers in your document, you can use Even/Odd Page breaks to split up your document. (We will cover page numbering later in this manual.) This command adds a section break and then jumps ahead to the next even numbered page in the document. For example, imagine that you opened a new document and applied page numbering. If the cursor was on page 1 and you added an even page break, the page numbering would jump to 2 on the next page, as you would expect it to. However, if you placed the cursor on page 2 and added another even page break, Word would jump to the next page and number it page 4. Even though there are only three physical pages in the
104
document, the pages would be numbered 1, 2, 4. Odd Page Adds a section break and then jumps ahead to the next odd numbered page in the document. For example, imagine that you started with another blank document and applied page numbering. If you inserted an odd page break, Word would jump to the next page and number it 3, even though there are technically only two physical pages in the document. If you later decide to change the type of break, open the Page Setup dialog with the option button in the Page Setup group of the Page Layout tab:
105
When the dialog opens, click the Layout tab. By using the Section start combo box, you can choose to change the type of break and the part of the document to which the break applies:
There are many useful applications for section breaks. You may have seen other documents that contain one or more pages oriented in a different way than the rest of the document. For example, a workbook created in Word might have a few pages oriented in landscape to accommodate wide charts that wouldnt otherwise fit on a page with portrait orientation. This can be accomplished in Word by using section breaks.
106
To orient one or more pages in landscape, place a section break at the end of the last portraitoriented page. (We have enabled hidden characters so you can see the breaks.)
Add at least one paragraph break by pressing Enter or add as many page breaks as you might need to hold the information that will be oriented in landscape. Next, add another section break. Here we have added a single paragraph break and then a section break:
Our document now has a single page within two section breaks.
107
To change the page orientation, make sure the cursor is in the page you want to orient. Click Page Layout Orientation Landscape:
108
The first set of options deals with pagination. Lets look at each checkbox individually. Widow/Orphan control This will keep your paragraphs together, so a single line isnt stranded at the top or bottom of a page. This is turned on by default. Keeps paragraphs of the same style on the same page. Keeps all lines in a paragraph on the same page. Inserts a page break before paragraphs with this style.
109
The next two options deal with more specific paragraph formatting. Suppress line numbers will skip line numbers for this section. Dont hyphenate tells Word not to hyphenate paragraphs or words in this section. (These commands will only be effective if line numbering or automatic hyphenation have been turned on.) You can see a preview of all settings for the paragraph in the bottom portion of the window. You can also click the Tabs button to open the Tabs dialog box, click Default to apply these settings to future documents, click OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to exit without saving your changes.
110
111
The page will be added to the beginning of your document. All you have to do is add the information in the fields:
You can add any other elements you like, such as your own graphics. If you have taken the time to create your own cover page or customize an existing page, you can save your work to the Cover Page Gallery for future use. To do this, select the entire cover page you have created and click Cover Page Save Selection to Cover Page Gallery:
112
A cover page is an example of a Building Block. Building Blocks are just what their name implies: pieces of information or objects that you can use to construct a document. When you choose to save the cover page, you will be asked to enter some information about the cover page. Click OK to commit the cover page:
The cover page will now be visible in the Cover Page Gallery:
There are two other options at the bottom of the Cover Page command besides Save Selection: More Cover Pages from Office.com Remove Current Cover Page You can browse Office.coms archive of cover pages, just like you can browse for document templates. Click this link to remove any cover page you have inserted via the Cover Page Gallery.
113
Simply click to place your cursor where you want the page to appear, and then click the Blank Page command.
114
You can choose from theme colors, standard colors, or no color. You can also click the More Colors option to pick from more colors or create a custom color:
If you click Page Color Fill Effects, you can add something more interesting than a plain color.
115

Or a picture:
Adding a Watermark
Watermarks often appear on checks or other legal documents. They are visible when you hold the document up to light and might say something like ORIGINAL DOCUMENT or outline a pattern.
119
Words watermarks can be text or pictures. The watermarks appear as a washed -out item in the background of the page. Click Page Layout Watermark to view the watermark gallery:
Click a watermark from the gallery to apply it to the entire document (except the title page), regardless of page orientation or section break:
120
There are some additional watermark options at the bottom of the Watermark command:
121
Lets review these options. More Watermarks from Office.com Custom Watermark Browse different watermarks available online from Office.com. This command will show the Printed Watermark dialog box which lets you define a custom text or picture watermark:
This will delete any current watermark. As with cover pages, you can define your own watermark and save it as a Building Block to the Watermark Gallery. For example, you might create a watermark based on the crest of your school or company logo, and then apply the watermark to a page to create custom stationery.
A watermark created in Word is not visible over pictures or other objects; you can only see it where there are gaps between words and objects on your page. If you are providing a sample of your work to someone else and want to ensure they know the document is a draft or confidential, there is a way to create a watermark on top of everything else in the document.
122
If you want to add a mark that is visible in front of everything on the page, you can create WordArt and then layer that WordArt throughout your document. To create this type of marking, perform these steps: 1. Insert WordArt Click Insert WordArt and choose any style:
2. Type text The WordArt will appear in the top left-hand corner of the page. Click inside the WordArt and type your desired text:
123
3. Move watermark in front of text Click Drawing Tools Format Wrap Text In Front of Text:
4. Position text You will need to: Use the Font group or mini toolbar to size the text. Click and drag the outside border of the WordArt to position the text. Click and drag the small green handle (shown by the red arrow below) to rotate the text.
124
5. Copy and paste throughout Copy and paste the WordArt to each page of the document. Since this operation ends up being quite a lot of work, we dont recom mend doing it for long documents. If you want to make sure a document remains original before sending to someone else, you might consider saving the document as a PDF to help discourage editing.
125
You will then see the Page Border tab of the Borders and Shading dialog:
First, start by selecting a setting from the menu on the left-hand side. Next, use the options in the middle to choose a style, color, width, and/or art. Finally, use the options on the right to choose what edges will have a border. (For example, if you selected the Box setting, you would
126
remove the bottom line by clicking the button.) The Apply to combo box lets you apply these changes to the whole document, a section, or a portion of a section. If you click the Options button, you can specify how far from the margin or edge of the page you want to apply the page border:
127
As an example, look at this dialog. Note which options we chose to obtain the desired effect.
Heres what the border looks like. A dark green postage-stamp border has been applied to the top and bottom portions of each page in the document:
128
Types of Links
There are four types of links supported by Word: To an existing file Link to an existing file on your computer. These links will not work if you send the Word document containing the link to someone else, as they will not have the file in the location you have specified. Link to another place in this document. These links are typically in the index and table of contents. This is the most common type of link, properly referred to as a hyperlink. Clicking on this type of link opens the specified page in an Internet browser window. Also called a mailto link. When you click this type of link, a new email message will open up in your e-mail program. The information for the recipient(s) will already be filled out.
To an e-mail address
In this lesson, were only going to cover hyperlinks and mailto links. Well save d ocument links and links to files in more advanced levels of Velsofts Microsoft Office Word 2010 courseware.
129
Inserting a Link
You may have noticed that Word sometimes formats things automatically for you (although not necessarily in ways you want!) This feature is called AutoFormat, something we will explore in the Advanced level of Velsofts Microsoft Office Word 2010 courseware. If you type a Web address (say, http://www.microsoft.com), Word will automatically turn the text into a hyperlink. This is a feature of AutoFormat! To do this manually, select the text you want to link and then clicking Insert Hyperlink:
When you click the Hyperlink button, the Insert Hyperlink dialog will appear:
130
The left side of the dialog displays the four types of links discussed earlier. By default, the Existing File or Web Page option will be displayed as it will likely be the type of link you use most often. If you are using the Existing File or Web Page option, there are basically only two options to worry about. The first is the one at the top: Text to display. This is the text that will turn blue and will contain the actual link. By default, any text you have selected will appear in there. If you want to edit that text, just click inside the Text to display field and change it. At the bottom, type the Web Address (URL) the link will point to. Finally, click OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard them. Note that the OK button will not be active until both the Text to display and the Address fields are filled in:
131
There are three buttons on the right-hand side of the dialog: ScreenTip A ScreenTip offers additional information about the link and is visible when you hover your cursor over the link:
Bookmark
If you click this button, Word will access the Internet and visit the Web site you specified, looking for any bookmarks that are defined in the Web page. If bookmarks are found, you can choose from any defined bookmarks on the page and have your hyperlink jump directly to that bookmark. This prevents the user from having to search through a long Web page to find the information you have referenced with your link. Frames are rarely used in current Web design. However, if you know that the Web page you have linked to contains frames, specify which frame will be target by the hyperlink with this menu:
Target Frame
If you want to create a link for an e-mail address, you can do so in of three ways. If you are still using the Existing File or Web Page option, you can simply type mailto:<e-mailaddress> in the Address field, such as mailto:someone@company.com.
132
For more robust e-mail options, click the E-mail Address option on the left hand side of the Insert Hyperlink window and fill out the different fields:
You can change the text you want to display as a link using the Text to display box. Next, type in the e-mail address you want to use. (You can enter multiple e-mail addresses separated with a semicolon, like this: address1@company.com; address2@company.com.) If you have recently used the address in a hyperlink, you can click its entry in the bottom box to enter it in the E-mail address field. Finally, the simplest option to insert an e-mail address as a hyperlink is to type it in your document. Word will, by default, create the hyperlink to the address:
As a final note on the creation of hyperlinks, you can add a hyperlink to a picture just as you can add one to text. Select the picture, click Insert Hyperlink, and fill in your information.
133
Editing a Link
After you have inserted a hyperlink or a mailto link, the easiest way to edit it is by using the right-click menu. Lets take a look at the hyperlink context menu and each of its options:
Edit Hyperlink Select Hyperlink Open Hyperlink Copy Hyperlink Remove Hyperlink
Opens the Insert Hyperlink dialog box so you can make changes to your link. Selects the entire link. Opens (follows) the link. Copies the hyperlink to the clipboard. Removes the link from the text, but does not remove the text itself.
134
Following a Link
If you place your mouse over a hyperlink, you will see the link ScreenTip appear:
The ScreenTip tells you what the link does. This is especially important if it isnt immediately obvious what clicking on the text will do. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the link. Web hyperlinks will open your Internet browser to the specified page. A mailto link will open your e-mail program to a blank message. The e-mail address(es) and the subject (if specified) will already be filled in; all you have to do is type in the body and send the message. By default, once youve followed a hyperlink, it will change color. Followed links can be used over and over again. The color difference is just a way of letting you and others know that the hyperlink has been used:
Removing a Hyperlink
To remove the link from a document, right-click the link and click Remove Hyperlink. The text will remain, but will no longer be displayed as a link:

139
Once you click a header or footer you like, that header/footer will be inserted and replicated on every page, unless specialized section breaks have been used. All you need to do is add text where indicated. You can also format header/footer text just like you would any other text contained in your document:
When you have finished creating your header and/or footer, click the Close button on the Header & Footer Tools Design tab:
When this tab is closed, text and objects in the header and footer will appear faded, meaning they are not editable at this time. If you print or export the document, all headers and footers will be displayed normally:
140
141
Enter the details for this Building Block and click OK:
The Go to Header/Go to Footer commands toggle the view between the header and footer. If you have included section breaks in your document, use the Previous and Next commands to navigate between different sections of your document. (For more information on sections, see Lesson 2.4.) We will explore the Link to Previous command later in this section.
142
First, double-click the header or footer that you want to remove to place your cursor in that field. Click Header (or Footer) Remove Header (or Remove Footer):
143
Lesson 3.2: Using the Header & Footer Tools Design Tab
In the last lesson, you used a few commands on the contextual tab that appears when working with a header or footer. In this lesson, well take a closer look at this tab:
144
145
146
Specify where you want the page numbers to go by hovering over one of the options. Page numbers can be inserted at the top of the page, the bottom of the page, in the page margins, or at the current cursor position.
147
Each option in the Page Numbers menu will give you options similar to the following:
Page numbers are like any other Building Block just click an item to insert it.
2005-2011 Velsoft Training Materials Inc.
148
149
If you want to change the style of the numbers themselves, click the Page Numbers command. Here, you will see a command to format the page numbers.
150
When you click this command, you will see this dialog:
Here, you can choose a number format, choose how to number the pages, and choose to include a chapter number. (These settings can be modified at any time.) If you create a custom page number style that you would like to use later, you can save the selected page number to the gallery. Click Save Selection as Page Number using either the Top of Page or the Bottom of Page commands:
151
You will be prompted to save the page number as a building block, just as we did with other page components.
152
Aligning Text
The best way to align text in a header or footer is to use the Insert Alignment Tab command on the Header & Footer Tools Design tab. First, click to place your cursor in front of the text that you want to align. Then, click Insert Alignment Tab:
When the Alignment Tab dialog opens, you can choose an alignment and a leader (characters that will fill the space between the margin and the text).
153
Once you click OK, your header will be aligned. In the example below, we have stuck with the default options: center alignment with no leader. We have also enabled hidden characters. The red box below highlights the leading area, which contains no characters:
Adding Graphics
A header or footer is a perfect place to put a logo or graphic, so lets go over how to insert one of these objects. First put the cursor where you want to place the image. Next, click either the Picture or the Clip Art button on the Insert group of the Header & Footer Tools Design tab. (You can also use the commands on the Insert tab.)
154
If you choose the Picture command, a dialog will open so you can choose your picture.
If you choose the Clip Art command, you will see a task pane so that you can search for a suitable photo. When you find a good picture, simply click it to insert it.
155
The picture or Clip Art you insert will likely be much larger than the available space. You can resize photos simply by dragging the edges. Click and drag the sides (light blue squares) to scale in that direction, or grab a corner handle (light blue circles) to scale vertically and horizontally. Click and drag the green handle to rotate the image. As you reposition or resize the image, you can see what the end result will be when you release the left mouse button:
You can also use the Alignment Tab commands to align your photo.
156
Simply choose a format from the list on the left and click OK. You can also check Update automatically so that the current date and time is always displayed each time you open the document. You can even align the date and time using the Insert Alignment Tab command, and you can format it using standard text formatting tools:
157
Imagine you have created a multi-page document and defined a header. You then insert a section break somewhere in the document. By default, the headers/footers of the two different sections will be linked, meaning any change you make to one section will be made in the other. Lets take a look at an example. Here are pages 1 & 2 of a document. Notice how there is a section break at the end of page 1:
The header shown on page 2 is the same as page 1 because the header was defined before adding the section break. Even after adding the section break, the header on page 2 is still the same because the headers/footers of all pages after a section break are linked. To break the link between headers, place your cursor in the first page of the header you want to unlink and click the Link to Previous button. Note that the name of this button does not change whether you are linking or unlinking headers and footers; it will, however, appear highlighted if linking is on:
You can tell if a section is linked to the previous one by the following label:
158
If we click Link to Previous to deselect this command, the headers/footers in the current section (page 2) are now independent of all sections previous to it (page 1, in our example). You can now modify the header/footer in the current section independently of the previous section(s):
Here, you can type in dimensions to set how far the header or the footer will appear from the edge of the page.

When Word does find an unrecognized word, it will underline it with a red line. Right-click the word to see spelling suggestions:
At the top, there is a list of spelling suggestions in bold. You can click any of these suggestions to replace the misspelled word. You can also choose to ignore the word, ignore all instances of the word, or add the word to the dictionary. (This last option is handy if the word is a proper noun that you will use frequently.) Note that Word will also mark a word as misspelled if you typed it twice. Consider the following complete, properly spelled sentence:
The second instance of produce was marked as misspelled because it followed the same word. The third set of options lets you specify how to correct this particular error, set the correction language, perform a full spell check, or look up the word in the Research pane.
165
If Word detects a grammatical error, the phrase will be underlined in green. You can right-click the error to see options for correcting it. (Options will differ depend on the error selected.)
As with spelling errors, there are options in bold for correcting the error. You can also choose to ignore the error, run a full grammar check, or view help about the current error. If Word thinks you have used a word incorrectly (for example, their instead of there), the word will be underlined in blue. Like spelling or grammar errors, you can right-click the word to see suggestions.
166
167
Lets go over the options in this dialog: Ignore Once Ignore All Add to Dictionary Change Change All AutoCorrect Check Grammar Options Cancel Ignore this particular word. Ignore this word every time it appears in this document. Add this word to the dictionary so it is never identified as incorrect again. Change this word to the word selected in the Suggestions box or to what you have typed in the top window. Change all instances of this word to the word selected in the Suggestions box. When typing, automatically correct this word to the word selected in the Suggestion box. Choose to check grammar along with spelling. Change spelling and grammar options. (We will explore these options in a moment.) Cancels the spell check.
Once you have clicked one of these options (except Options and Cancel), Word will continue checking your document for errors. You will have to go through this process for each word that is identified as incorrect.
168
If Word picks up a grammatical error you will see something like the following:
The same concepts apply to this box. (Note that the options may differ depending on the type of error.) At the top part of the screen, Word will show you the sentence it thinks is grammatically incorrect and will highlight the trouble part of the sentence. (You can type in this window to make changes to the sentence shown.) At the top of this window will be a brief explanation of what the trouble is; in the sample above it says Or or Nor. The bottom part of the grammar checking screen gives you suggestions on how to change the word or sentence. There are also buttons on the right-hand side of the screen to choose how you want to treat the error. Ignore Once Ignore Rule Next Sentence Change Explain Check Grammar Options Ignore this error. Ignore the rule that applies to this error. Skip this error without making any changes. Change the current sentence to the selected suggestion. Open a new window explaining this grammar concept. Choose to check grammar along with spelling. Change spelling and grammar options. (We will explore these options in a moment.)
169
Undo Cancel
Once you have addressed all spelling and grammar errors, Word will let you know that the check is done.
Note that you cant count on Word to pick up on all spelling and grammar errors. Fully automated spelling and grammar checking is very difficult, especially with a language like English that seems to have more exceptions than rules! You should always carefully read through your document to make sure it is correct, and if possible, ask someone else to read over it as well.
170
171
Here, you can set AutoCorrect options (which we explore in the next lesson), choose exceptions and rules for your spell check, select custom dictionaries, and choose to hide or show spelling and grammar errors. Once your options are set, click OK to apply them and close the dialog.
Controlling Hyphenation
In some situations, particularly if you require text justification, you may need a document to be hyphenated. Rather than trying to manage it yourself, let Word do the hard work. First, click the Page Layout tab. Then, click the Hyphenation button on the Page Setup group:
You can choose: None, which will not hyphenate the document. Automatic, which will completely hyphenate your document. Manual, which will prompt you each time a word that need to be hyphenated. Hyphenation Options to control how Word hyphenates your document:
172
You can click the Words item in the status bar or click the Word Count command in the Proofing group of the Review tab to perform a word count:
The Word Count dialog will provide statistics for the entire document:
Word also features a tool that gauges the readability of your document. In a nutshell, readability refers to how easy a piece of writing is to read. A publication such as Readers Digest scores low, meaning it is accessible to many people, where a magazine such as the New Yorker scores high.
173
If these statistics are relevant to you, you can have Word display a documents readability score after completing a Spelling and Grammar check. To do this, click the Show readability statistics option in the Proofing section of Words options:
You will now see advanced statistics at the end of a spell check
The top part offers a count of various elements in your document, much like the Word Count dialog. Next, the averages of those elements are shown. Finally, you can see how easily readable your document is. The Flesch Reading Ease section will show a number from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating easier reading. (The average document has a Flesch Reading Ease score between 60 and 70.) The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level section will tell you approximately what grade could read this document. (Most business writing is written at a Grade 8 or 9 level.)
174
Performing Research
We know that you can right-click a spelling or grammatical error and see possible solutions. In addition to these contextual commands, you can use Words research tools to look up information such as encyclopedia articles, definitions, and more. There are two ways to research a word or phrase. The first is to right-click a particular word (or select a phrase first and then right-click), point to Look Up, and then choose an option. Here, we have right-clicked the word geese:
175
The second way to research something is to highlight a word or phrase and then click Review Research:
Either of these actions will open the Research Pane on the right-hand side of your screen. With this pane, you can explore more information about the word or phrase using all of the tools available via the right-click Look up function, and more. You can browse different research services by clicking the source combo box:
176
Lets take a few moments to cover what each service provides and how it works: All Reference Books Browse Microsofts Encarta Dictionary for a definition of the word or phrase:
You can also find synonyms with the thesaurus. You can even translate the word/phrase into another language; just pick your settings and click the green arrow. Your default Web browser will open and direct you to a machine translation service.
177
All Research Sites Bing is Microsofts search engine. Browse search results and click the hyperlinks to see the Web page in your default browser:
Factiva iWorks is a business search tool that searches the Internet for publications, news stories, or pictures related to your search term:
178
HighBeam Research is similar to Factiva iWorks in that you can browse online articles for information related to your search term:
All Business and Financial Sites Use MSN Money Stock Quotes to check the performance of stocks. Enter a stock name (such as MSFT for Microsoft Corporation) and check the current price:
179
Thomson Gale Company Profiles list headquarter and financial information for companies based on their stock names:
180
181
You can click Thesaurus in the right-click menu or in the Review tab to open the full tool:
Now you can use the Research pane to find an appropriate synonym. Note that although the Thesaurus command was clicked, the Research command is lit up in the Review tab because the Research pane is turned on. You can click the Research command again or click the X in the Research task pane to close the pane.
182
If you click the pull-down arrow beside a word (shown on the left) or right-click a word, you will see options to insert that word, copy the word, or use the Look Up feature to research the word. If you simply click on a word in the Thesaurus (shown on the right), it will change the Thesaurus term to that word:
Translating a Word
If you want an easy way to translate a word or some selected text, click Review Translate:
As you can see, there are three options. Translate Document will convert the whole document via machine translation, which we will explore in a moment. Translate Selected Text will perform a translation of a word or phrase, replacing that word or phrase with the translated text. And finally, Mini Translator will add a ScreenTip-style translation for a word or phrase.
2005-2011 Velsoft Training Materials Inc.
183
184
Now, when you hover your mouse over a word, you will see a specialized ScreenTip appear. In this example, word has translated house:
Lets quickly go over the other elements of this ScreenTip: Expand Copy Play Stop Help The Expand command will open the Research Pane and show additional details about the translation of this word. Copies the information shown in the ScreenTip about the translation. The word will be spoken through your speakers. Click this to stop the sound coming from your speakers. Displays help regarding the Mini Translation service.
To turn the feature off, click Review Translate Mini Translator again. This will disable the feature.
185
You will then see a warning explaining that your document will be sent in unencrypted format, which means that it may be viewed by others. Click Send to proceed:
Your default Web browser will appear and send the inform ation to WordLingo, an online translation service. It will take a few moments for the translation to be completed:
186
The translated document will then appear. Note the warning in Spanish at the bottom of the screen stating the computer translation is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
187
AutoCorrect
You have probably noticed that Word will make small corrections to your document as you type. This may include automatically capitalizing the letter i, capitalizing the first letter of a sentence, and fixing common spelling errors. These actions are performed via Words AutoCorrect function, which is turned on by default. Try typing the following exactly as you see it: i am verry excited about Word 2010. What corrections did Word make for you?
As you can see, AutoCorrect fixed i and verry for you. Move your mouse under I. You will see a small blue rectangle. Point to this rectangle to view the AutoCorrect symbol:
Click the pull-down arrow to see the AutoCorrect options. (A similar menu would appear under the word very.) As you can see, you can either undo that specific correction, make Word stop performing that particular correction, or open the AutoCorrect options:
188
To control the way AutoCorrect behaves, click the Control AutoCorrect Options link in the menus as shown above or click File Options Proofing AutoCorrect Options:
This will open the AutoCorrect options for your specified language:
189
There are many details to cover in this dialog, so lets go over the different tabs: AutoCorrect Unless you use Word to create specific documents that may contain a lot of technical information and equations, most of the AutoCorrect options you would modify will likely be listed here. At the top of this tab (shown on the previous page) you can enable or disable the most common AutoCorrect actions. If Replace text as you type is checked, Word will automatically replace characters with symbols such as Copyright , the ubiquitous smiley face , and common typing errors like replacing dont with dont or it;s with its. Math AutoCorrect If you frequently use equations for math, physics, chemistry, or other applications, Word features a number of symbols and functions that you can insert by typing a code, similar to (c) producing :
190
On a side note, if you are using the Math Input Panel in Windows 7, Word 2010 is capable of accepting input directly from that editor:
Well look at equations in detail later on in this lesson. AutoFormat As You Type The actions listed in this tab expand on the options shown in the AutoCorrect tab. Here, you can specify if you would like Word to perform more complex formatting as you type in your document:
191
AutoFormat
As you can see from the image below, the commands in the AutoFormat tab are nearly identical to those found in AutoFormat As You Type. However, the AutoFormat tab contains a command to preserve document styles if something is AutoFormatted. You also have the option to apply the various AutoFormat commands to plain text that has been pasted into Word:
192
Actions
Word is capable of recognizing and interacting with certain elements of your document such as the date, time, address, and contact information. Note that by default, the Enable actions checkbox is disabled:
If the features in this tab are enabled, you can highlight text that corresponds to one of the items listed above, right-click it, and have Word recognize the corresponding data. We will explore more about these options in the next lesson.
193
Now you can choose from a number of date and time formats:
Select a format from the list and then choose if you want the date and time to be static or to update automatically. (This option is just above the OK button.) If the date is static, the current date and time right now will be inserted. If you choose to have the date or time update automatically, it will update whenever the document is opened. When youre ready, click OK.
194
Dates and times that do not update automatically are inserted as regular text. They can be changed, rearranged, or formatted:
Dates and times that do update automatically are inserted as an object, but can still be modified as you would any other text. If you place your mouse cursor over the date or time, you will see a faint blue box appear:
You can click the object to see the Update command and click the command (or press F9) to manually update the date and time. (You would do this manually if you had the document open for a long time.)
Inserting a Symbol
You will also find a command to insert symbols on the Insert tab. Click the Symbol button and then click a symbol from the recently used list.
195
If the symbol youre looking for isnt here, click More Symbols to show the Symbol dialog box:
Here are the steps to follow to insert a symbol. Pick the font to use. By default, Word will display symbols in the current font. Choosing a font can be important as some fonts (such as Wingdings) are all symbols and contain symbols not seen in other fonts. Click a symbol to select it for insertion, or use the scroll bar to scroll through the symbols. Click the Insert button to add the selected symbol to your document. Once you click the Insert button, the Cancel button will become a Close button. You can also use the AutoCorrect button or the Shortcut Key button to make inserting this symbol easier in the future.
196
If you want to format or delete the symbol, you may do so as you would with any other text:
197
When the Symbol dialog box appears, click the Special Characters tab:
Then, simply click a character to select it and then click Insert. You can also view and edit the AutoCorrect and Shortcut Key commands using the buttons at the bottom.
198
Inserting an Equation
If you are using the Math Input Panel in Windows 7, Word 2010 is capable of accepting input from the editor. Create the equation in the Math Input Panel and then drag the panel so it is on top of the Word 2010 window. Click Insert and the equation will be added to the document:
199
You can also click Insert Equation Equation, and choose a pre-built equation, or click Insert New Equation to draw a custom equation:
200
As you can see, equations can then be edited using the tools on the contextual tab or right-click menu.
201
202
When the AutoCorrect dialog appears, click the Actions tab. Some additional actions for specialized text recognition may already be enabled:
You can access a similar dialog by right-clicking in your document, pointing to Additional Actions, and clicking Options:
203
In a nutshell, specialized text recognition works by Word identifying the text you have typed. For example, imagine that you have enabled the Financial Symbol option. You then type MSFT (stock symbol for the Microsoft Corporation), right-click the symbol, and point to Additional Actions. You will see options available for the stock symbol:
204
Date
Dates
Place
Street addresses
Note that e-mail, contact, and meeting features are designed to work with Microsoft Office Outlook 2010.
205
Inserting a Date
Earlier we learned how to insert the current date and time into a document. Word also lets you quickly insert dates by recognizing the text as you type. Simply press Enter to accept the entry:
206
At the top of the pane is the Search bar, which we will explore shortly. Underneath that are three tabs: Headings, Pages, and Results. Beside the three tabs are two up and down arrows. Click these arrows to browse to the next heading, thumbnail, or search result, depending on the view.
207
In order for the Navigation Pane to be of much use, your document will need to be formatted with different headings. You can apply these headings using the Styles group in the Home ribbon. Heading 1 is the highest heading, followed by Heading 2, 3, 4, etc. Word allows you to specify up to nine heading levels. Navigating through your document using the Navigation Pane is easy; just click the heading listed in the Navigation Pane to jump to that section of the document. Look at the following diagram:
There are three titles that have used Heading 1, and eight that have used Heading 2. Any instances of a heading indented under another one mean that certain sections of the document shown by the Navigation Pane are collapsible. Just click a larger heading to collapse all the smaller headings contained within:
This allows you to easily browse a certain heading level of your document easily.
208
For example, if you decide that Topic Six would fit better in Section Three, all you have to do is click and drag Topic Six to its new location:
209
All the information in Topic Six, including any subheadings in the topic, is immediately moved to its new location. This feature allows you to very quickly reorganize an entire document without having to cut and paste a single thing!
210
Thumbnail view gives you a birds eye view of your document. This is particularly useful if you are looking for a picture or chart within your document:
Search Results view is used directly with that functionality, which we will discuss next.
211
The first option lets you browse the topics that contain this search term. Click one of the highlighted items in the Navigation Pane to jump to the passage:
The thumbnails option shows a small version of the each page that contains a matching search term. Matching items are also highlighted in yellow:
212
The final tab displays the various passages of your document that contain the search term:

216
Using Themes
Themes are a combination of preset colors, fonts, and effects. Earlier, we discussed using headings to make your document structure consistent. Rather than format each heading manually, you can use pre-built styles to apply a consistent color, font, and effect scheme to the whole document. As long as the document has been properly structured, you can change the look of the entire document with just a few clicks. To apply a theme, click Page Layout Themes. As you mouse over each theme, you will see a preview applied to your document (if you have theme elements such as page backgrounds, headers, styles, or diagrams). Simply click the new theme to apply it:
217
Note that the Themes menu also contains commands to reset the current theme, browse for theme files, and save the current theme.
You can also click Create New Theme Colors to create your own color schemes.
218
As with colors, you can change the font scheme independently of other items. Each font scheme contains a major font for headings and a minor font for the body. To see the font schemes, click the Theme Fonts button on the Page Layout tab:
Once again, you can mouse over each option to see a preview applied to your document. You can also click Create New Theme Fonts to create your own personalized theme.
219
Each theme also comes with its own way of displaying effects. These effects are applied to objects like SmartArt and text boxes. To change the current effects scheme, click the Theme Effects button on the Page Layout tab and click an effect.
If any objects are visible in your document, you will see a preview applied to it.
220
Record
The easiest way to perform a mail merge is by using the Mail Merge wizard, so were going to devote this lesson to the various options in the wizard.
221
222
You will then see a task pane on the right hand side of your screen, prompting you to choose a document type:
For this example, well stick with letters. The remaining steps may differ slightly depending on the document youre creating, but the basic concept remains the same.
223
In this case, weve already created a letter, so well choose the current document. (Note that you can also use a template or an existing document, meaning a document that youve created but isnt open.) Once youve chosen the document, click Next.
224
Selecting Recipients
Step 3 of the Mail Merge Wizard prompts you to choose who the mailings will be sent to. Depending on the option you select, your choices will be different:
If using an existing list, click the Browse button and navigate to the folder that contains the source file. Word 2010 is capable of accepting and reading data from numerous sources:
225
Once you pick a source and choose the specific list (or type a new list), you will be prompted to choose the recipients. In this example, we are working from a Microsoft Access database:
Simply check a contact to include it or uncheck a contact to remove it. Once you click OK, click Next in the task pane to proceed to the next step.
226
To add the various fields from your data source to the document, click inside the document and then click one of the items in the Mail Merge pane.
227
For example, if you wanted to add the address at the top of the page, place the cursor at the top and then click Address Block. You will be prompted to format the address block as you see fit, based on the information available in your data source:
The Address Block field will then appear in your document with angle brackets around its position. This field will be customized for each recipient when you perform the merge:
228
If you need to make any changes to the recipients, click Edit Recipient List in the task pane. You can also click the Previous link in the task pane to go back to any step and make changes. When you are satisfied with the result, click Next to proceed to Step 6.
229
230
Create
Envelopes Labels
Opens a special dialog that will allow you to create envelopes. Opens a special dialog that will allow you to create labels. Choose what kind of mail merge you want to start: Letters, E-mail Messages, Envelopes, Labels, or Directory. Choose the source for your recipient list. Make changes to your recipient list. Highlight fields that will be merged to each record. Create and insert an address block merge field. Create and insert a greeting line merge field.
Select Recipients Edit Recipient List Write and Insert Fields Highlight Merge Fields Address Block Greeting Line
231
Insert other types of merge fields. Create rules for an advanced merge. (Well look at these options in detail in a moment.) Match fields in your recipient list to merge fields. If you are creating labels and have made any changes, click this button to update them. Preview your merge. Navigate through merged records.
Preview Results

232
If you choose Type New List, you will see a dialog prompting you to enter the recipient information:
233
If you ever need to edit the list, click the Edit Recipient List command on the Mailings tab.
Adding Fields
To add fields, place the cursor in the document where you want the field to appear and click any field name in the Write and Insert Fields group:
You will then be prompted to customize that element, just as you would with the Mail Merge wizard:
234
Adding Rules
Rules are similar to fields in a Mail Merge. The difference is that they operate on conditions rather than using all information available. To add a rule, first click to place your cursor at the position that you want the rule. Next, click the Rules button on the Write and Insert Fields group of the Mailings tab and click the rule that you want to use.
Lets take a look at each option. Ask If you have created bookmarks, insert this field at the beginning of your document. Then, Word will ask you what text you want to put in and place that text at each bookmark as it merges each record. (Text can be different for each record.)
235
Fill-in
When you complete the merge, Word will ask you what text you want to place in this field as it merges each record.
IfThenElse
This dialog box lets you set exceptions for your merge. If a field equals a certain value, Word will insert a certain text string. Else, Word will insert a different text string.
This will add a number to each label. Counts the number of successfully merged records. Inserts the next record into the current document.
236
Next Record If
Inserts next record into the current document if conditions are met.
Set Bookmark
Sets a bookmark at a specified location. In a mail merge, bookmarks are mainly used to indicate where to insert Ask text.
Skip Record If
237
Note that this command can be toggled on and off, giving you an easy way to check what the finished product will look like. Once your document is ready to be merged, click Finish & Merge. Then, you can choose to edit the individual items that will be created by the merge, print the merge documents, or send the merge documents as e-mails:
238
Faxing a Document
If you have subscribed to an Internet fax service, you will be able to send your document via fax. This allows you to send a document via fax without having to print it first. Click File Save & Send Send Using E-mail Send as Internet Fax:
Your Internet fax provider or a new e-mail window will open. Follow the programs directions to send your fax.
239
240
A new e-mail message will open in Outlook 2010 with the document included as an attachment. Fill in the recipients e-mail address and write a message:
When the message is ready, click File Save. This will save the message in the Outbox folder of Outlook. The next time Outlooks folders are synchronized or you click the Send/Receive command (in Outlook), the message will be sent. We will examine more of the features in this e-mail window later in the lesson.
241
A new e-mail message will appear, and a PDF or XPS version of your document will be attached and ready to send.
242
File Message
Opens the Backstage menu. Here you can save the message, view message info, print the message, and open Outlook options. Like the Home tab in Word, here is where you can format text and check spelling. You will also find basic features here, such as the ability to flag messages, attach other files, and set priority. Like Words Insert tab, you will find commands to add pictures, tables, diagrams, and more. Use this tab to set your theme, choose the format, and control delivery options for the e-mail message.
Insert Options
Format Text This tab is nearly identical to Words Home tab: Clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles, and Editing groups are all available here. Review This tab offers the same proofing, research, translation, and language tools available in Words Review tab.
243
Sharing features are available in the Backstage menu. Click File Save & Send:
Lets go over the details of these categories: Send Using E-mail We have covered most of these options in this lesson: Send as Attachment Send a Link* Send as PDF Send as XPS Send as Internet Fax *If your computer has access to a network organization, you likely have access to a central file server. If you save files in a public location on this server (meaning all users can see the files), use the Send a Link option rather than sending the actual file.
244
This option uses SkyDrive, one of the services provided by Windows Live. If you have an e-mail address that is associated with a Windows Live account (such as @hotmail.com or @msn.com) you have your own SkyDrive account. Users of Microsofts Xbox 360 gaming console also have access to a SkyDrive account. Click Sign In and enter your login details to continue:
This account offers 25 gigabytes of free storage for documents, photos, music, or other files you want to share with others. If you click this Save to SkyDrive option, you will be able to sign into your Windows Live account. You can then upload files to a public or private folder:
245
Save to SharePoint
SharePoint is a collaboration tool that lets members of an organization share information, collaborate on projects, search organization resources, and more, all from internal or external locations (relative to the organization). That means that someone working in the office, at home, or around the world has access to the organizations resources via the Internet. Using your organization credentials (user name and password), you can sign into your SharePoint server to view or edit documents. If you have opened a document directly from SharePoint, any changes you make to the file will be saved directly on the server. Notice that in this case, the Save command looks a bit different:
You can also click File Save & Send Save to SharePoint to redirect the saved file to a new location:
Word 2010 has the capability to edit documents simultaneously with other people, view documents in a familiar browser-based setting, send a link to a file (rather than as an attachment), browse previous versions of documents, and receive e-mail notifications alerting you to changes made to documents.
246
A blog post can be thought of as an online journal. Blog posts are almost exclusively text with simple formatting, and Word 2010 has the capability to remotely connect to your blogging service and upload your latest post. Word 2010 supports most major blogging services such as: SharePoint Blog WordPress Blogger Windows Live Spaces Community Server TypePad And more
This option lets you change the current document file format to one of the other major formats supported by Word 2010:
247
Create a PDF or XPS document with this command. These document types are supported on most computing platforms, from PCs and tablets to netbooks and mobile devices. They are relatively small in size, preserve fonts and formatting, and cannot be easily edited:
