Lesson 1 - Using Mail Merge
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
WORKING WITH MAIL MERGE
Discussion
Mail merge is often used to send out the same or similar letters to a large number of
recipients. Mail merge enables you to write one letter only and then merge the letter
with a data source, thereby creating customized, individual letters including
information specific to each recipient (such as, names, addresses and other details).
The end result is a professional-looking letter that is tailored to each recipient.
Mail merge utilizes two types of documents: a main document and a data source. The
main document (such as, a letter) contains the information common to each recipient.
The data source contains the variable information (such as, different names and
addresses). Merge fields are placed in the main document to indicate where each bit of
data from the data source should appear. When you merge the variable information
from the data source into the main document, one merged document is created for
each record in the data source, with the variable information inserted into the
corresponding merge fields.
In addition to letters, you can use mail merge to print mailing labels and addressed
envelopes or to create a directory. Mail merge can produce documents in many
formats; printed letters, files stored to disk to be printed at a later time, fax documents,
and e-mail messages.
Mail merge involves following six basic steps:
1. Select the document type.
2. Create or select the main document.
3. Create or open the data source.
4. Insert the merge fields into the main document.
5. Preview the merged document.
6. Complete the merge.
You can create mail merges easily by using the Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard that
opens the Mail Merge task pane. The Mail Merge task pane provides the most
guidance when merging documents and offers you the flexibility to review previous
steps carried out in the process.
You can also use the buttons available on the Mailings tab to merge documents.
These buttons are arranged in order of usage, from left to right. They are contextsensitive and will change depending upon where you are in the mail merge process.

The Mail Merge task pane is also referred to in Word as the

Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
STARTING MAIL MERGE
Discussion
The first step in performing a mail merge is to open the Mail Merge task pane. The
Mail Merge task pane guides you in creating, opening and modifying the main
document and the data source. The task pane provides instructions for each step in the
process. While using the task pane, you can go back to any previous step to review or
modify the mail merge.
The Mail Merge task pane
When you want to begin a mail merge, the required buttons on

the Mailings tab are only available when you have a
document open. It does not matter, however, whether it is an
existing main document or a new, blank document.
The Mail Merge task pane is also referred to in Word as the

Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.

Note: The steps in this lesson are specific to merging an existing letter with a new
data source. With the guidance provided by the Mail Merge task pane, however, you
will be able to apply what you learn in this lesson to other circumstances, whether you
are working with a new main document, an existing data source, or any combination
of such files.

USING THE MAIL MERGE WIZARD
Discussion
The Mail Merge task pane is a wizard which takes you through all the steps involved
in the mail merge process. Guidance is provided along the way, which can act as a
useful memory prompt even once you are familiar with mail merge. While you can
Page 4
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
perform a mail merge using the buttons available on the Mailings tab, the Mail Merge
wizard makes the process simpler and more straightforward.
If you need to leave the mail merge process part way through, Word will return you to
the appropriate step in the Mail Merge task pane when you resume the merge, making
it easy to pick up exactly where you left off.
Each step of the Mail Merge wizard prompts you to make an appropriate selection,
and provides guidance about which is most appropriate. For example, the second step
of the process prompts you to select your main document. As you click on each of the
document options, a short description is displayed to help you make a selection. The
Mail Merge wizard also prompts you take appropriate action, if necessary. In the
second step, if you click on the Start from a template option, the wizard describes
this selection as Start from a ready-to-use mail merge template... and so on, and
displays a link you can use to browse for the desired template.
Towards the bottom of the task pane, your place in the process is indicated, such as
Step 2 of 6. This is a convenient way of keeping track of where you are.
There are links under this at the bottom of the task pane which you can use to navigate
back and forth between the steps. This allows you to proceed to the next step once you
are ready, or to go back and make changes in previous steps. Word will only allow
you to proceed if valid options are selected in the current step.
When you want to resume a mail merge process that you have
not completed, open the main document. A Microsoft Office
Word message will ask you to confirm that you want to open
the document and retrieve the connected data source. Select
Yes and the main document will open. Select the Mailings tab
and open the Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard. The Mail
Merge task pane will open at the relevant step of the process.
As with other task panes, you can move, re-size and dock the
Mail Merge task pane within the document window, to suit
yourself.
IDENTIFYING THE MAIN DOCUMENT
Discussion
Before you can perform a mail merge, you must identify the type of main document
you want to use. The main document contains the information common to all merged
documents.
The following types of documents are available in mail merge:
Page 5
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Document Type
Definition
Letters
Creates standard form letters that can be sent to a

group of people
E-mail messages
Creates e-mail messages that can be sent to a group

of people
Envelopes
Creates print addressed envelopes for a group

mailing
Labels
Creates address labels and other types of labels
Directory
Creates a single document containing a catalog or

printed list of addresses
After you have identified the type of main document, the next step is choosing
whether to use the current document or to create a new one.
If you have selected and opened your main document, you can
carry out this step in the mail merge process by displaying the
Mailings tab and selecting the Start Mail Merge button in the
Start Mail Merge group. Select the appropriate document
type from the menu, such as Letters.
Procedures
1. Under Select document type, select the desired document type.

CREATING A RECIPIENT LIST
Discussion
The next mail merge step is to create or identify the data source. A data source is a file
that contains the information to be merged into the document, typically the recipients
of a letter or an e-mail message. The data source must contain the variable information
that will be inserted into the merge fields in the main document. A data source can be
a Word document, a spreadsheet (such as an Excel workbook), a database (such as an
Access database), or an Outlook contact list.
Before you create a data source, you must first define what information you want to
store in each record. Each individual piece of information in a record is called a field.
For example, first name, last name, street, and city are all separate fields.
It is helpful to think of the data source as an index card file, with each index card
containing one record (that is, all the information about one person, such as name,
address, telephone number, and so on). If you create a data source in Word, it is saved
as a Microsoft Office Address List (with the extension .mdb which is a file format
used in earlier versions of Access) in the My Data Sources folder.
Since the essential requirement for a mail merge is the list of recipients, Word refers
to the data source as a recipient list.
Page 7

You can create a recipient list from scratch, use an existing

list, or select recipients from Outlook contacts.
You can also carry out this step in the mail merge process by

choose the appropriate option from the menu, such as Type

CUSTOMIZING COLUMNS IN A RECIPIENT LIST
Discussion
When creating a data source, Word provides a variety of pre-defined fields. Each field
is identified by a label called a field name. You can select which of these fields you
want to include in your data source.
You should fill in as much information as possible in your data source. Later on in this
process, you can select exactly which fields you want to include in this particular mail
merge. The more complete the data source is, however, the more useful it will be for
other mail merges in the future.
Your data source can be customized by adding, deleting, or renaming fields. Word
also allows you to rearrange the order of the fields.
Page 9
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Adding a field to the data source
A new Field Name is always entered below the currently

selected Field in the Customize Address List dialog box.
Field Names can contain spaces, such as ZIP Code.

REARRANGING COLUMNS IN A RECIPIENT LIST
Discussion
You can rearrange the order of the fields in a recipient list. You might do this after
you have added or removed fields in the Customize Address List dialog box. You may
wish to place fields in an appropriate order for entering data, based on the list of data
from which you are working. For example, if you want to enter the last name into a
record before entering the first name, you should move the Last Name field above the
First Name field.
The order in which you enter data does not affect the order of
the data in the merged document.
Procedures

SAVING A RECIPIENT LIST
Discussion
After you have customized and arranged the fields in the recipient list, it is a good
idea to save your data source before you begin to enter records. When you save the
data source, it is earmarked as a mail merge data source. By default, it is saved as a
Microsoft Office Address List (with the extension .mdb which is a file format used in
earlier versions of Access).
The Save Address List dialog box
You can also open the data source in Microsoft Access to

make changes to it.
By default, data source files are saved to the My Data

Sources folder in the Documents folder.

ENTERING RECORDS INTO A RECIPIENT LIST
Discussion
After you have saved the recipient list, you are ready to enter the variable information
into each individual record of the data source.
You cannot enter multiple lines in a field in the Edit Data Source dialog box; you
must enter one whole record at a time.
Entering a data record in the Edit Data Source dialog box
You use the [Tab] key to move to the next field in the Edit
Data Source dialog box, and the [Shift+Tab] key combination
to move to the previous field.
When you press the [Tab] key at the end of a record, a new
record displays with the insertion point in the first field. You
can also use the New Entry button to create a new data
record.
You can also carry out this part of the mail merge process by
displaying the Mailings tab, and selecting the Edit Recipient
List button in the Start Mail Merge group.

SORTING RECORDS TO BE MERGED
Discussion
You can sort records by any field in a data source simply by clicking the
corresponding column heading in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box. You may
want to sort records in alphabetical order by the Last Name field or in chronological
order by the Birth Date field. Clicking the column heading once sorts the records in
ascending order; clicking it a second time changes the sort to descending order.
To sort on up to three fields, you can use the Sort link to open the Filter and Sort
dialog box. If you have several people in a data source named Smith, you can sort the
records first by the Last Name field and then by the First Name field.
The data source can also be filtered to display only specific records. The drop-down
list in any column heading displays all the values for that field as well as several filter
options. For instance, if you want to send letters to people living in New Jersey, you
can filter the records by selecting NJ from the State field. Word will then merge only
those filtered records.
You can also select one of the filter options available on any column heading dropdown list. The (Blanks) option displays all the records in which the corresponding
field is blank. The (Nonblanks) option displays all records in which the
corresponding field contains any information at all. The (All) option turns off any
filtering and displays all records. The (Advanced) option opens the Filter and Sort
dialog box, in which you can create any number of filters.
Sort settings in the Filter and Sort dialog box
The Filter and Sort dialog box filters or sorts only those
records in which the check box is selected in the Mail Merge
Recipients dialog box.
You can also filter or sort the recipient list by displaying the
Mailings tab and selecting the Edit Recipient List button in

HIGHLIGHTING MERGE FIELDS
Discussion
Before you begin inserting merge fields into the main document, you should set two
specific document display options. You should ensure that the Show field codes
instead of their values option is deselected so that the field codes are hidden (this is
the default setting). In this way, you cannot inadvertently change a field name and the
chance of error in the mail merge process is reduced. In addition, the field codes must
be hidden in order to view the resulting merged documents properly.
It is also a good idea to set the Field shading option to Always. Merge fields are
easier to recognize in the main document when they are shaded in gray.

INSERTING MERGE FIELDS INTO A DOCUMENT
Discussion
The next step in the mail merge process is to insert merge fields into the main
document.
Merge fields are inserted at the insertion point. When inserted, a merge field is
enclosed in chevrons such as, <<First Name>>. The merge field will also be shaded
if the Field shading option is set to Always on the Advanced page of the Word
Options dialog box.
Related merge fields can be grouped. Word creates groupings for the more common
main document items such as, addresses and greeting lines. These groupings include
all necessary spacing and punctuation. You can easily insert a grouped merge field by
clicking the corresponding link in the Mail Merge task pane. When you click a
grouped item link, a dialog box opens from which you can select the desired formats
and options.
Clicking the More items... link in the Mail Merge task pane opens the Insert Merge
Field dialog box, which allows you to insert an individual merge field. Once you have
inserted the merge field, you must close the dialog box before inserting another merge
field in a different document location.
If you insert an individual merge field that is not part of a grouped merge field, you
must remember to include all necessary spacing and punctuation, both before and after
the inserted merge field.
Selecting options for a grouped merge field
Page 24
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
There are buttons available on the Mailings tab in the Write

& Insert Fields group for inserting an address block or a
greeting line. You can also use the bottom part of the Insert
Merge Field button to quickly insert an individual field, or
select the top part of the button to open the Insert Merge Field
dialog box.
The Format address according to the destination

country/region option in the Insert Address Block dialog box
formats international addresses with the correct layout for the
recipients country.
When inserting a grouped merge field, it is always worth

double-checking that Word has inserted the correct fields in
the correct order. For example, you may have address fields in
your data source that are named in ways that Word does not
recognize. Therefore, Word may leave them out of an address
block. Alternatively, Word may interpret the names of other
fields in ways that you do not expect, and include them where
they do not belong.

PREVIEWING MERGED DATA
Discussion
You can preview the main document with the merged data before you actually carry
out the merge.
Previewing the merged document is a good idea because you can use the preview to
check for format and spelling errors or any unexpected results of the merge.
If you find an error in the main document, you should correct it. If you find an error in
a data record, you can correct it in the merged document; however, you should also
correct it in the data source if you plan to use it for another merge. Remember that you
can return to previous steps in the Mail Merge task pane to make any corrections to
the main document or the data source, then return to the current step in the process to
preview the merged document again.

MERGING TO A NEW DOCUMENT
Discussion
After you have previewed the merged records, you can edit the main document or the
recipient list as needed, or you can complete the merge. Editing the main document
before you merge will affect all merged letters, while editing a data source record
permanently changes the edited records.
When you complete the merge, you can merge letters directly to the printer, or you
can merge them to a new document. Selecting the Edit individual letters link
automatically merges letters into a new document, in which you can make changes to
individual letters. Changes made to individual letters in the merged document will not
be saved in the main document or in the data source. Once the changes have been
made, you can save the merged document as a separate document, or you can send the
merged document to the printer and then close it without saving.
When you select the Edit individual letters link, you can also choose which data
records you want to merge; you can merge all of the data records, the current record
only or selected records.
You can also use the Finish & Merge button in the Finish
group on the Mailings tab to complete the merge.

SENDING EMAIL MESSAGES
Discussion
You can use mail merge to send personalized e-mail messages to recipients in your
address list. As with a mail merged letter, the information in each message is basically
the same but the content of each message is unique. For example, each message can
address the recipient by name.
Furthermore, each mail merged e-mail message is a separate mailing where each
contact is the sole recipient of a message. This appears more professional than sending
an e-mail message to a distribution list or hiding recipients in the Bcc (blind carbon or
courtesy, copy) line of the message.
You can choose to send the message in HTML or plain text format, or as a simple email attachment. You can also choose whether to send the e-mail to all records in your
data source or selected recipients only.

Lesson 2 - Merging Mailing Labels and Directories
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
USING MAILING LABELS
Discussion
You can use the mail merge feature to create mailing labels. Since you do not have to
use all the fields in a data source when you are merging, you can use the same data
source for both letters and mailing labels; it is not necessary to create separate data
sources for each. This also makes it easier to keep the data source up-to-date for future
mail merges.
You create labels using the following six steps:
1. Identify the main document.
2. Set up the main document.
3. Create or identify the data source.
4. Insert merge fields into the main document.
5. Preview the merged labels.
6. Perform the merge.
You can create label mail merges easily by using the Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard
that opens the Mail Merge task pane. The Mail Merge task pane provides the most
guidance and offers you the flexibility to review previous steps carried out in the
process. To create labels, you must select the Labels option for the main document in
the Mail Merge task pane.
CREATING MAILING LABELS
Discussion
The first step in creating mailing labels is to create or open the main document. After
the main document has been identified, you can select which type of labels you want
to create. You can select from the range of many standard label sizes contained in
Word, or, you can create customized labels.

SELECTING LABEL OPTIONS
Discussion
After you have indicated that you want to create labels, the next step is to set up the
main document. To set up the label main document, you must indicate which type of
labels you want to create and the printer you plan to use. It is possible that you will
have a package of label sheets from one of the label sheet suppliers. Each sheet of
labels is a certain size containing a number of labels with specific dimensions.
Setting up the main document using label options
Word creates a main document that contains a table to layout

the labels. If you cannot see the gridlines separating the labels,
you can click the Layout contextual tab, then click the View
Gridlines button in the Table group.

INSERTING LABEL MERGE FIELDS
Discussion
Label merge fields are inserted directly into the main document. Set up the first label
as desired, making sure to include all the necessary punctuation and spacing. For
example, if you insert the Title and LastName fields on the first line, you should
include a space between the two merge fields.
After the first label has been set up, then use the Update all labels button to copy the
merge fields to the rest of the labels.
All labels on the page have been updated to match the first label

record in the data source each time it reaches a new label.
MERGING LABELS TO A NEW DOCUMENT
Discussion
When you have set up the main document and selected the data source for your labels,
you are ready to carry out the merge.
You should preview your labels before printing so that you can make any necessary
changes. If you find typographic errors, you can correct them in the merged
document, but you must also correct them in the data source if you intend to use it
again.
When you complete the merge, you can merge the labels directly to a printer, or you
can merge them to a new document. By selecting the Edit individual labels link, you
can make changes to individual labels when they are merged to a new document.
Changes made to individual labels in the new, merged document will not be saved in
the main document or in the data source.
Once the changes have been made, you can save the merged document as a separate
document, or you can send the merged document to the printer and then close it
without saving.

CREATING A DIRECTORY
Discussion
In addition to form letters, mailing labels, and envelopes, you can create directories,
catalogs and mailing lists by creating a mail merge directory. Unlike a letter, which
merges only one record per page, a directory merges multiple records to the same
page. The Directory feature is useful for creating any type of list or for filling in
tables.
The main document for the directory should include only the desired merge fields and
information that is to be repeated for each record. If you were to use the following
example to create a directory main document, the text Name: and Region: would
appear to the left of each merged record. To separate the records, you should include
at least one or two blank lines after the last merge field.
Name: <<Customer Name>>
Region: <<Region>>
Directory main documents can be used to merge data into a table. The main document
table should be a single row only but it can contain multiple columns. You can enter
multiple merge fields into each cell, as in the following example for a telephone list:
<<First>>
<<Last>>
<<Department>>
<<Phone>>
Table column headings and additional text can be added after the table has been
merged to a new document.
You can format the directory main document to prevent

column or page breaks from splitting records. To keep table
rows together, display the Layout contextual tab then, select
the Properties button in the Table group to open the Table
Properties dialog box. Select the Row page then, deselect the
Allow row to break across pages option.
To keep paragraphs together, display the Home tab to select

the Paragraph group launcher which, opens the Paragraph
dialog box. Select the Line and Page Breaks page then, select
the Keep lines together and Keep with next options, as
appropriate.

MERGING WITH AN ALTERNATE DATA SOURCE
Discussion
You can use a data source created in another application (such as Access, Outlook,
and Excel) in a mail merge. In this way, you can utilize existing data stored in another
application, eliminating the need to create an additional data source in Word. In order
to use a data source created in another application, the external data source must be
organized in a series of columns, either in table format, worksheet format or, as fields
separated by delimiters (such as tabs). The first row of the file should contain the field
names.
Word reads data from other data sources using the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
protocol. This protocol reads data from other applications by opening the source
program.
If the source application is not installed on your system, you can use the ODBC (Open
Database Connectivity) protocol, which directly reads a data file without opening the
source application. Another method Word uses to access external data is to open a
data source through a converter. You may want to use a converter to read an Excel
workbook that contains multiple worksheets. Using this method, you can specify the
worksheet or range that contains the data you want to use.

Sort a table alphabetically

Sort a table by date
Sort a table by multiple columns
Lesson 3 - Sorting Table Data
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
DESIGNING A TABLE TO BE SORTED
Discussion
Tables are frequently used to list items that need to be sorted. You can use the Sort
feature to organize information in a table. The Sort feature can sort by text, dates, and
numbers. You can sort on up to three columns and you can specify in what order the
sort should be performed.
When creating a table you plan to sort, you should place each piece of information by
which you might want to sort in its own column. If you want to sort a list of people by
their last name and, then by their first name, you should enter the first and last names
in separate columns. Alternatively, you could enter the data in one column in the
format last name, first name so that Word will sort it correctly; this would mean,
however, that you could never sort the list by the first name.
By default, all table columns are sorted at one time, since the data is usually held in
rows across all columns. You can, however, sort individual columns without sorting
the entire table.
If you create column headings in the first row of the table, you can specify the column
heading rather than the column number when you sort the table. The row containing
the column headings is referred to as the header row; it will not be sorted with the rest
of the data, but will remain at the top of the table.
You can also use the Sort feature to sort paragraphs, bulleted
or numbered lists, and other document text. First select the
text you want to sort, then select the Sort button in the
Paragraph group on the Home tab to open the Sort Text
dialog box.
When you have finished viewing the results of a sort or would

like to perform a new sort, you can use the Undo feature to
return the table to its original order.
SORTING A TABLE ALPHABETICALLY
Discussion
You can sort a table by any column containing text, numbers, or dates. The column
can be sorted in ascending order (A to Z) or in descending order (Z to A).
Page 64
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
By default, a sort is not case-sensitive. Therefore, Word does not treat uppercase or
lowercase letters differently when it executes a sort. You can, however, select the
Case sensitive option in the Sort Options dialog box to perform a case-sensitive sort.
To sort an entire table, you can position the insertion point anywhere in the table; you
do not have to select it. If, however, one or more rows are selected when you perform
a sort, only the selected rows are sorted.

SORTING A TABLE NUMERICALLY
Discussion
You can sort a table numerically by any column containing numbers. If, however, a
column contains both numbers and text (such as 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5, etc.), you should
sort by text. A text sort takes both text and numbers into account, while a numeric sort
ignores all text.
To sort an entire table, you can position the insertion point anywhere in the table. If,
however, one or more rows are selected when you perform the sort, only the selected
rows are sorted.

SORTING A TABLE BY DATE
Discussion
You can sort a table by a column containing dates. The dates can be formatted with
any of the available date formats (such as, September 27, 2007; 9/27/07; 27-Sept-07;
and Sept-27-07).
To sort the entire table, you can position the insertion point anywhere in the table. If,
however, one or more rows are selected when you perform the sort, only the selected
rows are sorted.

SORTING A TABLE BY MULTIPLE COLUMNS
Discussion
Sometimes it is necessary to sort a table by more than one column. For example, if
you are sorting an address list by last name and the list contains two Smiths, you
might want to sort by last name and then, by first name. If you include a secondary,
ascending sort, Adam Smith will appear before Zachary Smith.
When sorting by multiple columns, you can specify different sort orders (ascending or
descending) for different columns.
Sorting by multiple columns
After you have performed a sort by multiple columns, you

may need to select (none) from the Then by lists in the Sort
dialog box to remove the secondary and tertiary sort criteria

CREATING A FORMULA IN A TABLE CELL
Discussion
Tables often contain numerical information that must be calculated. For instance, your
table may contain a column of monthly sales numbers that you want to total.
You can create a mathematical formula that computes a value from numerical
information stored in a table. A formula may consist of numbers, cell references, and
mathematical symbols (called operators).
Operators include the mathematical symbols for addition (+), subtraction (-),
multiplication (*), and division (/). Parentheses ( ( ) ) are used to specify the order of
the mathematical calculations. All formulas must begin with an equal sign (=).
A cell reference is the applicable cell address. As in an Excel worksheet, a cell address
in a Word table is composed of a letter and a number, such as D3. Columns are
designated with letters, such as A, B, C, D, etc. Rows are designated with numbers,
such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The cell address is the intersection of the designated row and
column. Cell D3 is the cell that intersects column D and row 3. Unfortunately, Word
does not display the column letters or the row numbers in the table.
The advantage of using a cell address in a formula instead of a typed value becomes
clear when you change the contents of the referenced cell. Instead of editing the
formula to change the value, you can simply recalculate it. In Word, however, a
formula does not recalculate automatically.
In the table below, you can calculate the total price for the Exer-Fit 100 product by
entering the formula =B2*C2 into cell D2. That formula multiplies the value in the
Quantity cell (B2) by the value in the Unit Price cell (C2).

Entering a formula in a table cell
When you first insert a formula into a cell, Word will

sometimes supply a formula based on the data in adjacent
cells. You can replace the default formula as needed.
If you need to use more complex formulas than those available

in Word, you may consider inserting an Excel spreadsheet into
the document, instead of using a Word table. To do this,
display the Insert tab on the Ribbon. Select the Table button
in the Tables group then, choose the Excel Spreadsheet
option. An Excel worksheet opens in the document. Excel
Ribbon tabs are displayed and a menu bar appears above the
Quick Access Toolbar.

Word 2007 - Lvl 3
USING A FUNCTION IN A TABLE CELL
Discussion
Word provides a variety of predefined functions such as, SUM, AVERAGE, and,
COUNT to simplify the creation of formulas.
A function is followed by its arguments, which are enclosed in parentheses ( ( ) ).
Arguments can consist of numbers, cell references, a range, formulas, or other
functions. A comma (,) is used to separate multiple arguments.
A range is a group of contiguous cells. A range address is composed of the cell
address of the cell in the upper, left corner of the range, followed by a colon (:) and
the cell address of the cell in the lower, right corner of the range. For example, the
range address A1:B2 refers to the four cells in the upper, left corner of the table.
You can also use the terms ABOVE, BELOW, LEFT, or RIGHT as arguments.
These terms refer to the numerical values of adjacent cells in the specified direction.
Using a general term instead of a range address allows you to use copy and paste to
duplicate a function in another column or row. Copied and pasted functions can then
be recalculated for their destination row or column.
Some common Word functions are described in the following table:
Function
Description
AVERAGE(arg1,...,argn)
Averages a range or a list of values.

{=AVERAGE(24,55,92,145,67)} returns
76.6
PRODUCT(arg1,...,argn)
Multiplies all arguments.

{=PRODUCT(3,4,2)} returns 24
SUM(arg1,...,argn)
Totals all arguments.

{=SUM(24,55,92,145,67)} returns 383
If you need to use more complex functions or functions that

are not available in Word, you may consider inserting an
Excel spreadsheet into the document, instead of using a Word
table. To do this, display the Insert tab on the Ribbon. Select
the Table button in the Tables group then, choose the Excel
Spreadsheet option. An Excel worksheet opens in the
document. Excel Ribbon tabs are displayed and a menu bar
appears above the Quick Access Toolbar.
Page 81
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Word considers a comma (,) a thousands separator if it is

preceded by any number and followed by any three-digit
number. In order for a formula to calculate correctly, you must
insert a space after the comma in such situations. To use the
SUM function to add the number 123 and 734, you would
enter the formula =SUM(123, 734).

DISPLAYING FIELD CODES
Discussion
When you create a formula in a table cell, the result of the formula appears in the cell;
however, it is the formula itself that is stored in the cell as a field. You can display the
field containing the formula rather than the formula result if you choose.
Field codes are enclosed in braces ({ }).

RECALCULATING FORMULAS IN A TABLE
Discussion
The advantage of using formulas in a table is that they can be updated easily if the
referenced data changes. Word, however, does not recalculate formulas automatically.
To recalculate a formula, you must position the insertion point in the formula and
press the [F9] key.
In addition, Word does not indicate when a table needs to be recalculated. Therefore,
it is always a good idea to recalculate before you save or print a document.
You can right-click a formula then, select the Update Field

option from the shortcut menu to recalculate the formula.
Page 87

Word 2007 - Lvl 3
CUSTOMIZING NUMBERED/BULLETED LISTS
Discussion
Word provides several preset number and bullet styles that you can apply to a list. If
none of the predefined bullet or numbering schemes meet your needs, you can
customize a bulleted or numbered list style.
To customize a numbered list style, you can display text or characters both before and
after a number as well as choose a different number style. You can scale numbers as
desired and modify their position and the spacing between them, as well as add
kerning. In addition, you can start numbering at a number other than 1 (the default
setting).
To customize a bulleted list style, you can change the bullet shape by changing the
symbol or using an image instead.
Many formatting options apply to both bullets and numbers. You can align bullets or
numbers to the left, right, or center of a specified mark on the horizontal ruler, as well
as align the text to a specified mark on the horizontal ruler. In addition, you can
change the amount of indent between the margin and the bullet or number, as well as
the distance between the bullet or number and the text.
You can format numbers or bullets with any available font and font style, as well as
size them as desired. You can select from a variety of colors, underline styles, and
effects.
You can also change the spacing between the margin, the bullet or number, and the
text.
After you have used or customized a numbered or bulleted list style, Word makes that
style available in the corresponding gallery; under Recently Used Number Formats,
or Recently Used Bullets and, in the associated Library. This style can then be
selected from the gallery if you wish to apply bulleting or numbering elsewhere in the
document.
If, however, you want to change the formatting of a list from a customized style back
to one of the standard styles, you only need to apply the new desired style to the list.
Page 92
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Customizing a numbered list style
Kerning, which works with TrueType or Adobe Type

Manager fonts, refers to the amount of space between specific
character combinations, creating more evenly-spaced words.
To change the numbering values, select Set Numbering

include Start a new list or Continue from a previous list.
You can also set the value of a list item to a specific number;
the numbering of the following list items will then continue
from that value.

BULLETING/NUMBERING A MULTILEVEL LIST
Discussion
Word can automatically add bullets or numbers to each item in a multilevel list (such
as an outline with various headings and list items). Word indents each level in a
multilevel list differently. If you select a multilevel bulleted or numbering style, Word
adds different bullets or numbers to the items at each level and, in a numbered list,
restarts the numbering at each sublevel under a heading.
You can use one of several preset bulleted or numbered formats in a multilevel list, as
well as create a custom format.

CREATING A NEW LIST STYLE
Discussion
Word lets you create and customize bullet and numbering styles, including styles for
multilevel lists. You can create a new style from scratch, or you can edit an existing
style and save it as a new style.
After you have used or customized a numbered or bulleted list style, Word makes that
style available in the corresponding gallery; under Recently Used Number Formats,
or Recently Used Bullets and, in the associated Library. The customized style can
then be selected from the gallery if you wish to apply the same bulleting or numbering
elsewhere in the current document, or in any other document on the same computer.
You can also use the List Styles feature to create a new style. This feature allows you
to define a style for each level of your bulleted or numbered list, with images or
Page 97

different font styles applied at any level. This is particularly useful when you want to
use a bullet or numbering style consistently across various documents, especially
where documents are edited on different computers or by different users.

SORTING A LIST ALPHABETICALLY
Discussion
Although the Sort feature is often associated with data in tables, it is also available to
sort text that is not contained in a table. You can use the Sort feature to sort a list of
items in ascending (A to Z) or descending (Z to A) order.
Word sorts a list based on the first characters of each item in the list, using the
paragraph mark () as the delimiter.
If you are dissatisfied with the results of a sort, you can use
the Undo button on the Quick Access Toolbar to return a list
to its original order.
You can sort by number if your list contains numbers. A

numeric sort, however, ignores all text. If your list contains
both numbers and text, a text sort will take both numbers and
text into account.

DISPLAYING THE DEVELOPER TAB
Discussion
You can record a macro to automatically perform a series of actions whenever you
play it. This can save you time and also ensures that repetitious tasks are performed
consistently and accurately.
When you are recording or working with macros, you need to display the Developer
tab on the Ribbon. The Developer tab provides macro and template authoring tools,
and XML-related features, as well as tools that make form creation easy.

RECORDING A MACRO
Discussion
A macro executes a series of previously recorded and saved actions. You can create
macros for tasks you perform frequently, especially tasks that involve a lengthy
number of steps. Since you can play a macro with relatively few steps, macros can
save you time. When you use macros to perform a series of repetitious steps, you can
be assured that the task is performed in exactly the same way each time; therefore,
macros can ensure consistency and accuracy.
Before you create a macro, it is a good idea to make sure that you know all the steps
needed to perform the desired procedure so that you can record the macro properly.
Page 107
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
You should assign a name to the macro that identifies what the macro will
accomplish. Although a macro name must begin with a letter, it can contain both
letters and numbers. A macro name cannot contain any spaces or symbols, but you
can use an underscore ( _ ) character to separate words.
You use the macro recorder to record a macro. While the macro recorder is running,
the Record Macro button changes into the Stop Recording button, and the Pause
Recording button also becomes active.
The macro recorder records each keystroke and menu selection, with some exceptions.
For example, if you make a typing error and press the [Backspace] key to correct it,
neither the error nor the [Backspace] command is recorded. Likewise, if you select
the Cancel button to close a dialog box, neither the command that opened the dialog
box nor the Cancel command is recorded.
When recording dialog box options, your individual keystrokes are not recorded; only
the final dialog box settings are saved. Therefore, if an option is already selected, you
do not have to record selecting it again. Conversely, you should be aware that, when
you change a dialog box setting, all the dialog box settings will be recorded. For
example, if the Strikethrough option in the Font dialog box is selected while you are
selecting a new font, both the new font and the strikethrough will be applied when you
run the macro.
In addition, mouse action is limited; you cannot use the mouse to select or move
items.
You can choose to save the macro to the Normal template (the default setting) and as
a result, make it available to all documents. If you assign the macro to a different
template, however, it will be available only to documents using that template.
The Record Macro dialog box
Page 108
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
When the macro recorder is running, the mouse pointer

changes into an arrow with a cassette tape icon.
If you give a new macro the same name as an existing macro,

then the new macro will overwrite the existing one. This
applies to the built-in macros supplied with Word, as well as
those you record yourself, so it is worth checking the existing
macros before you start recording. To see the built-in macros,
select the Macros button in the Code group on the Developer
tab. The Macros in box provides the options All active
templates and documents which, will show you what has
been recorded by you or other users and, Word commands
which, lists the built-in macros.

EDITING A MACRO
Discussion
You can edit a macro, either to correct a mistake or to change a procedure in it. To
make extensive modifications to procedures, however, you must be skilled in using
Visual Basic.
When you edit a macro, it opens in a macro editing window. You then edit the macro
text in much the same way as you would edit text in a document.
If you are not skilled in Visual Basic, you can still make useful revisions to a macro.
For example, if a macro contains a misspelled word, you can correct its spelling. If the
macro needs extensive editing, however, you might consider it easier to re-record the
procedural steps.

ORGANIZING MACRO PROJECTS
Discussion
A macro project is a group of macros. The macros you create are automatically added
to a macro project with the default name NewMacros. You can use the Organizer
feature to rename a macro project to better describe the macros.
Organizer can also be used to copy a macro project to another document or template.
Organizer can display the macro projects two different files, allowing you to copy
from one to the other. Organizer copies the full macro project, including all of its
macros. Organizer cannot copy an individual macro in a macro project.
If you no longer need a macro project, you can use Organizer to delete it. Organizer
deletes the entire project, however, including all the macros in it. Individual macros
can be deleted using the Macros dialog box.
If you want to copy individual macros to other templates, documents, or even other
macro projects, you can open the Microsoft Visual Basic editor and copy and paste
macro procedures as desired. You can copy and paste macro procedures with the same
methods used to copy and paste document text.

RESTRICTING DOCUMENT FORMATTING
Discussion
When team members work together creating and revising a large document, you may
want to apply controls over changes that can be made to that document. The Restrict
Formatting and Editing task pane lets you apply two types of restrictions to a
document: formatting and editing.
The Formatting restrictions section of the task pane provides options you can use to
select the styles a user can apply to the document. The selected styles are locked into
the document and all other styles and formatting options are unavailable. If you are
only protecting the document for formatting changes, you can enforce your
restrictions with a password. If you do not include a password, anyone can stop the
document protection; otherwise, only those with the password can remove the
protection. You should save the document to save your restriction settings.
When you open a protected document, you can also open the Restrict Formatting
and Editing task pane to view the restrictions applied to the document. If the
document is protected with restricted formatting, an Available styles link is displayed
in the task pane. Clicking the link opens the Styles task pane which, displays only the
selected styles available.

When you want to remove protection from a document, you can select the Stop

password, if one was applied.

If the document is restricted to selected styles, only those

styles will appear in the Styles group on the Home tab and in
the Styles task pane.
It is advisable to use strong passwords that comprise eight or
more characters. You should also combine uppercase and
lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords are case
sensitive. It is important to choose a password that you will
remember; if you forget the password, Microsoft cannot
retrieve it.

changes to the contents of the document by applying editing restrictions. These
restrictions can be selected from the Editing restrictions section of the Restrict
Formatting and Editing task pane. You can apply one of four types of restrictions
including allowing only changes made with change tracking on, allowing only
comments to be inserted, allowing only forms to be filled in or, not allowing any
changes at all.
Once you have selected the editing restrictions you can start enforcing them. You can
protect a document with or without a password.
If the editing restrictions are set to allow only tracked editing, the protected document
opens with change tracking enabled. If the document is restricted to allow only
comments or no changes, the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane opens when
the user tries to make a change that is not allowed. The task pane contains an
explanation of your restrictions in the document. It may also include buttons to find
the next region you are allowed to edit or it may select all regions you can edit.
You can remove protection from a document by selecting the Stop Protection button
in the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane and entering the password, if
prompted.

CREATING RESTRICTION EXCEPTIONS
Discussion
In a collaborative document, different team members are often responsible for
different sections of the document. You may want those people to have free access to
those sections, while denying them access to other parts of the document that they are
not working on. Using document protection features, you can restrict access to regions
of a document so that only those granted permission to edit that region are allowed to
make editing changes.
When the editing restrictions are set to Comments or No changes (Read only), an
Exceptions (optional) box appears in the Restrict Formatting and Editing task
pane. You can allow anyone to freely edit a region of the document by selecting the
text you want to unprotect in the document pane and then selecting the Everyone
option in the Groups list in the task pane. You can also grant permission to other
groups listed in the list box.
To grant editing permission to individual users, select the More users link and type
the user name of someone in your domain, on another domain or, enter the persons
e-mail address. The names you add appear in an Individuals list box, which is added
to the Exceptions section. You can use the Exceptions section to select document
regions you want to unprotect and names of people to whom you want to allow free
editing of those regions.
Page 136
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
You may repeat the procedure for as many regions of the document you wish to allow
editing. After you have indicated all the exceptions, you can select the Yes, Start
Enforcing Protection button at the bottom of the Restrict Formatting and Editing
task pane.
When you open a protected document that includes exceptions, Restrict Formatting
and Editing task pane displays the Find Next Region I can Edit and Show All
Regions I Can Edit buttons. You can use these buttons to navigate to regions you
have permission to edit.

Lesson 8 - Using Forms
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
CREATING A FORM
Discussion
An online form comprises descriptive text and content controls in which data is
entered. Forms are useful because they allow users to select an entry instead of typing
it.
In previous versions of Word, content controls were known as form fields. Some of
the available content control types are: Text, both Rich Text and plain text, that let the
user enter text or numbers; Drop-Down List that offers a list of available options to
define and order; and Date Picker, which allows the person completing the form to
enter a date easily. Other field types include Legacy Tools and ActiveX controls such
as check boxes, radio buttons, spin or toggle buttons, among many others.
It is a good idea to plan how you want a form to appear before you actually create it.
When designing the form, you can define the type of information you want to enter
into each field. You may find it easier to arrange and align information on a form if
you enter the text and form fields in a table.
You should always protect an online form; otherwise, any user can change the form
text or layout. When a form is protected, a user can enter data into the form fields, but
cannot edit the form or change any text on it.
When you are creating or working with forms, you need to display the Developer tab
on the Ribbon. The Developer tab provides macro and template authoring tools, and
XML-related features, as well as tools that make form creation easy.
Page 146
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Adding check box form fields to a document
If you save the form as a template, anyone who wants to use

the form can create a new document based on that template.
The template itself contains no data.
By default, when you move the pointer over a content control,

the content control appears shaded. You can enable or disable
field shading by selecting the appropriate Field shading
option under Show document content in the Advanced pane
of the Word Options dialog box.
Besides content controls, the Controls group on the

Developer tab provides additional buttons for toggling Design
Mode, changing field properties and grouping. The
Properties button is not available unless a content control is
selected in the document, and the Group button is not
available unless a range of content is selected in the document.

SAVING A FORM AS A TEMPLATE
Discussion
Online forms are typically used over and over again. If you save an online form as a
template, users will always work in a copy of the original form and not in the original
itself. When using a form template, a new document based on the template is created
each time a user completes the form.
Page 149
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Saving the form as a template
You can protect individual content controls in a template to

prevent others from deleting or editing a particular content
control or, group of controls. You can also protect all of the
template content with a password.

SETTING PROPERTIES FOR CONTROLS
Discussion
You will need to establish the right properties for any content controls or form fields
that you place in a document. Some properties will be obvious and compulsory, such
as the options for a Drop-Down List; others are less obvious or optional, such as the
format for dates to be displayed in a Date Picker control.

USING LEGACY TOOLS AND ACTIVEX CONTROLS
Discussion
The Legacy Forms option makes available a few form fields that work in ways
familiar to users of previous versions of Word. However, the new Rich Text or plain
Text content controls are more functional than the Legacy Forms Text Form Field,
and so on. Generally, you would use the new content controls where possible and only
use the Legacy form fields when you must maintain the integrity of an older
document.
Legacy form fields will not be active until the form has been protected or saved as a
template. For example, once the form has been protected or saved as a template, you
can check or uncheck a Legacy Forms Check Box Form Field by either clicking the
check box or pressing the [Spacebar] key.
You can choose whether Legacy form fields are shaded gray or not.
ActiveX Controls use programming behind-the-scenes to provide a variety of further
controls including, for example, the Option Button (or radio button). If you are
familiar with Visual Basic, you can further refine the behavior of these controls.

Discussion
You can add protection to an online form to prevent someone from deleting or

restrictions on individual content controls or the entire form. You can also choose to
protect your form with a password.
When a form is protected, you can enter data into the form fields, but cannot edit the
form or change any text on it.

Lesson 9 - Creating a Table of Contents
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
USING A TABLE OF CONTENTS
Discussion
Many long documents (such as manuals, reports, books, and theses) include a table of
contents to help readers find information. A table of contents lists the topics and
subtopics in the document and usually includes the starting page number of each.
(Page numbers are not always included in shorter documents.)
A table of contents also makes it easier to navigate a long document on screen. Each
heading in the table of contents is a hyperlink to the actual source text in the
document. Holding [Ctrl] as you click any heading automatically takes you to that
heading in the document.
Developing a table of contents entails defining the topics and subtopics you want to
include, specifying its appearance, and finally, compiling the table of contents itself.
Creating a table of contents manually can be a very time-consuming process.
The Table of Contents feature, however, makes creating a table of contents quick and
easy, because it formats and generates the table of contents automatically. Word 2007
provides a gallery with many Table of Contents styles from which you can choose.
Word generates a table of contents from topics and subtopics to which heading styles,
outline levels, or user-defined styles have been applied. You can also mark the text
you want to include in the table of contents and then generate the table of contents
from the marked text.
Generally, a table of contents appears at the beginning of a long document. If you
create a new section for a table of contents, you can format it differently from the rest
of the document. You can use a different type of page number (Roman numerals as
opposed to Arabic numbers, for example), set different margins, and/or modify its
headers and footers.
Page 170
If you have included an index and/or a table of figures in the

document, you should generate them before you generate the
table of contents, so that those sections will be included in the
table of contents. If you add these at a later time you can
regenerate/update the table of contents to include them.
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
GENERATING A TABLE OF CONTENTS
Discussion
The most efficient way to create a table of contents is to apply the built-in heading
styles, Heading 1 through Heading 9, to the topics and subtopics in a document. Each
of these heading styles is recognized by Word as a table of contents entry.
When you build a table of contents based on document styles, Word automatically
selects the complete text of each heading and inserts it into the table of contents, along
with the page on which it appears, if applicable. You can align page numbers to the
right margin and include a tab leader, if desired. A tab leader is a series of characters
(usually periods) that appear between the last character in the table of contents entry
and the page number, as shown in the following example:
Introduction....1
You can specify the number of levels you want the table of contents to display;
although the default is three, you can select up to nine levels.
Word provides several different table of contents formats from which you can choose.
Each format displays the various table of contents levels with different indentations
and/or font styles. Word uses a TOC style to format each level in a table of contents.
For example, first level headings in a table of contents use the TOC 1 style, second
level headings use the TOC 2 style, etc. You can design your own table of contents
formats by modifying the predefined TOC styles.

USING CUSTOM STYLES
Discussion
If you have applied user-defined styles to document headings, you can generate a
table of contents based on the user-defined styles instead of the built-in heading styles.
If you have applied both user-defined and built-in styles, you can use both to generate
a table of contents.
The Table of Contents Options dialog box lists all styles (both built-in and userdefined) in use in the current document and a table of contents level number is
automatically assigned to each built-in style. You can assign the desired table of

VIEWING THE TOC FIELD CODE
Discussion
Once you have finished defining a table of contents, Word generates it and places it in
the document at the insertion point. Although you usually see the table of contents
text, it is actually stored in a {TOC} field. You can view the {TOC} field code instead
of the table of contents text. This option is helpful because displaying the field code
takes up less space on the screen.
Although you will not usually want to view the {TOC} field code, you can use a
keystroke or a shortcut menu command to toggle the display between the field code
and the table of contents text.
Page 177
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Viewing the TOC field code
You can also right-click to the right or left of the table of

contents text to open the shortcut menu. Then, select Toggle
Field Codes to display the {TOC} field code. You must rightclick the {TOC} field code itself, however, to redisplay the
table of contents text.
If the insertion point is located in any table of contents text

line and you switch to the field code display, only the selected
line of text will toggle to its field code.
You can toggle the display of all fields in a document between

text and field codes easily by pressing the [Alt+F9] key
combination. You can also view field codes by selecting Field
from Quick Parts on the Insert tab. The Field dialog box
opens and you can use the Field Codes button to view field

UPDATING A TABLE OF CONTENTS
Discussion
Once a table of contents has been generated, additional editing changes can make it
incorrect or incomplete. For instance, if you insert manual page breaks or add or
delete enough text to affect the page breaks, the page numbers in a table of contents
may become incorrect. Adding, deleting, or rewording headings can also make the
table of contents incorrect.
After you have made changes to a document, you can quickly update the existing table
of contents, rather than having to create and format a new one. You can choose to
update the entire table or only the page numbers.
You can use right-click in to the left or right of the table of

contents to open the shortcut menu. Then, select Update Field
to open the Update Table of Contents dialog box.
You can also update a table of contents by positioning the

insertion point in the table of contents and pressing the [F9]

INSERTING TC FIELD CODES
Discussion
If you have not applied heading styles to a document, you can create a table of
contents by marking the text you want to appear in the table of contents. To mark a
table of contents entry, you can insert a {TC} field, which stores the text and the
desired table of contents level. You can choose from up to nine levels by which to
mark the entry. Word then uses the {TC} fields to generate the table of contents.
As soon as you mark text for a table of contents, Word displays the formatting marks,
including the {TC} field codes, which are hidden text.

Lesson 10 - Creating an Index
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
USING AN INDEX
Discussion
An index is an alphabetical listing of subjects included in a document, book, or report,
including the page numbers on which the references can be found.
An index usually appears at the end of the document. Word can create an index with
up to three levels, which means that each index entry can have one level of subtopics
and each subtopic in the second level can have one additional level of subtopics. In
addition, you can create cross-references to other index entries. A cross-reference
refers the reader to a different topic.
To create an index, you mark the text you want to include in the index, define the
index format and then, generate it. In Word, you can mark index entries manually or
you can create a concordance file that lists all the text you want included in the index.
Word then uses the concordance file to mark the index entries. Once you have marked
the index entries and defined the format of the index, Word can generate the index.
A generated index
Page 194
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
CREATING MAIN INDEX ENTRIES
Discussion
Selecting a word or phrase you want to use as an index entry is called marking an
index entry. Most people prefer to mark index entries after a document has been
completed because Word can mark multiple occurrences of the same text. When Word
marks all occurrences of index text, it marks only the first occurrence of the text in
each paragraph.
You can mark main index entries, subentries, and third-level entries, as well as define
cross-references. When you mark text as an index entry, Word adds a special {XE}
field code that includes the marked main entry and any cross-reference information
that you choose to include.
You can format the page numbers in an index as bold or italic. If you choose no
format, the numbers are formatted in the same way as the index entries.
As soon as you mark text for an index entry, Word displays the formatting marks,
including the {XE} field codes, which are hidden text. You can use options available
on the Display page in the Word Options dialog box to view only the hidden text, if
desired.
Creating main index entries

CREATING INDEX SUBENTRIES
Discussion
You can create one or more subentries for a main index entry, as well as subentries for
the subentries, up to a total of three index levels. For example, the main entry
Clothing could have the second-level subentries Children, Men, and Women. The
Children subentry could have the additional third-level subentries of Infant and
Adolescent.
You can use the Subentry box in the Mark Index Entry dialog box to create a secondlevel subentry. To create a third-level subentry, you must type the second-level
subentry followed by a colon (:) and the text of the third-level subentry.

CROSS-REFERENCING INDEX ENTRIES
Discussion
You can cross-reference one index entry to another. Generally, when you create a
cross-reference, you create a reference from each index entry to the other. For
example, if you cross-reference the Clothing index entry to the Bathing Suits index
entry, the Bathing Suits index entry would also be cross-referenced to the Clothing
index entry.
You can also create a cross-reference for a word that does not even appear in the
document. For example, a document about camping equipment might contain the
word backpack, but not the word pack. The index, however, could include entries for
both pack and backpack, cross-referenced to each other.
By default, Word inserts the italicized word See at the beginning of a cross-reference,
but you can remove or change it as desired. If you prefer, you could use the phrase
See also or Refer to instead of the word See.
Once the cross-reference has been entered into the Mark Index Entry dialog box or
into the document, you can apply formatting to it.
Page 201
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
In the index, cross-references appear at the end of the page listings. For example, the

GENERATING AN INDEX
Discussion
After you have marked all desired index entries, you can format and compile the
index.
You can create one of two types of indexes: indented or run-in. An indented index
lists each index level on a separate line and applies the Index 1, Index 2, and Index 3
styles as appropriate; Index 2 subentries are indented below Index 1 main entries, and
Index 3 subentries are indented below Index 2 subentries. A run-in index lists all
subentries on the same line as the main entry and uses only the Index 1 style.
You can choose one of several built-in index formats. If none of the built-in index
formats meets your needs, you can design a custom index format by modifying one of
the built-in index formats. In addition, you can specify how many columns you want
the index to have as well as how you want the page numbers to appear.
When Word generates an index, it appears at the insertion point. Normally, indexes
appear at the end of a document.

VIEWING THE INDEX FIELD CODE
Discussion
Although an index usually appears as text, it is actually stored in an {INDEX} field.
You can view the {INDEX} field code instead of the index text. This option is helpful
because displaying the field code takes up less space on the screen. You can use a
keystroke or a shortcut menu command to toggle between the {INDEX} field code
and the index text.

To display or hide the {INDEX} field code, you can rightclick the index text or the field code, as appropriate, and select

Once you have inserted an index into a document, changes made to the document can
make the index incorrect or incomplete. For example, if you insert manual page

index may become incorrect. Adding or deleting index entries can also make an index
incorrect.
You can quickly update an existing index without having to recreate and format a new
one.

Lesson 11 - Creating Captions
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
INSERTING A CAPTION
Discussion
If you have created a document that contains images as well as text, you may want to
add captions to those images in order to describe or explain them. A caption is text
linked specifically to an image which, is separate from the main text of the document.
They are often used to provide extra information and to help the reader correctly
identify or interpret the image.
If you have used a lot of images, or if you are creating a more formal style of
document, then you will also want to number the captioned images so that you can
better organize and present them. Word 2007 provides an easy way to do all of this
through the Captions feature.
You can also caption tables, equations, and other items using the same method.
Inserting a caption
Page 212
By default Word 2007 begins a caption with Figure 1 (for

images), Table 1 or Equation 1. You can change this default
text. Select Exclude label from caption if you do not want to
include the label. Select New Label to create a different label
or, select Numbering to change the style from numbers to
letters or roman numerals.

any captions you create.

INSERTING A TABLE OF FIGURES
Discussion
If you have a number of captioned items in your document, you might find it useful to
include a Table of Figures so that readers can easily locate them. Captioned items can
include figures (images), tables, and equations.
The Table of Figures feature provides a list of those items, along with page numbers.
In effect it functions as a table of contents that looks only at a very specific type of
content. It relies on the information already provided through the Captions dialog box.
The Table of Figures dialog box
Page 214
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Word provides a complete and formatted Table of Figures.

The dialog box, however, also gives you the opportunity to
fine-tune it. You can adjust the presentation of the page
numbers, or decide not to include them. You can choose
formats based on the document template or other existing
styles such as Classic. You can also decide whether to include
the label and number, or not.
While it is called Table of Figures, this function can also be

used to provide a Table of Tables, a Table of Equations, or a
table of any captioned items.

Once you have inserted a Table of Figures in your document, it provides a list of the
captioned items. The page numbers, caption labels and information drawn from the
actual captions are also included by default. If your document is a dynamic one,
however, new captioned items may be inserted, the existing captions may be edited,
and, the page numbering will often change.
Word 2007 enables you to update a Table of Figures quickly to reflect any changes.
Depending on the situation, you may choose to update either the page numbers only or
the entire table.

Lesson 12 - Creating Citations and Bibliography
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
INSERTING CITATIONS
Discussion
A bibliography is a list of sources, that you consulted or cited in creating the
document. It is usually placed at the end of a document. In Word 2007, you can
automatically generate a bibliography based on the source information that you
provide for the document.
Each time that you create a new source, the source information is saved on your
computer, so that you can find and use any source you have created.
The extended Create Source dialog box
To find additional sources, or additional information about

sources that you are citing, click Insert Citations and then,
click Search Libraries to open the Research task pane. You
can search a library database for every match of a particular
topic in that librarys collection. Then, you can insert the
citation in the document or, you can add the source
information to the current list of sources for later use.
If you choose a GOST or ISO 690 style for your sources and
a citation is not unique, append an alphabetic character to the
year. For example, a citation would appear as [Pasteur,
1848a].
Page 224
If you choose ISO 690 - Numerical Reference and you add

citations to your document, you must click the ISO 690 style
again to correctly order the citations.
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
Word gives you the opportunity to add the source information

directly or, to add a placeholder so that you can create a
citation and fill in the source information later. After clicking

the source. You can add more information later by opening the

Lesson 13 - Creating a Table of Authorities
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
MARKING CITATIONS
Discussion
A Table of Authorities is a standard way of declaring what authorities you have cited
in your document and where they appear.
To create a Table of Authorities, you must first mark the citations that you want to
include. The Mark Citation dialog box allows you to mark selected text in a document
and assign it to a category. Word provides several categories, including Cases,
Statutes, Other Authorities, Rules, Treatises, Regulations, and Constitutional
Provisions. You can also add your own categories to the list.
It may be helpful to review a printed copy of the legal document when marking
citations for a Table of Authorities so that you can determine which text you should
use for long and short citations. You should select long citations for marking and then
select the Mark All button; Word then marks the long citation and all associated short
citations. Alternatively, you can select the Mark button to mark only the current
selection.
Word stores the marked citation text in a {TA} field. As soon as you mark text for a
Table of Authorities, Word displays the formatting marks in the document, including
the {TA} field codes.
The citation has been inserted in the document in a TA field
Page 236
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
The Mark Citation dialog box remains open until you select
Close. Therefore, you can continue to mark citations by
selecting the desired text in the document and then, selecting
Mark or Mark All as desired.
You can use the Word shortcut keys or buttons on the Ribbon
to format text in the Selected text box.

INSERTING A TABLE OF AUTHORITIES
Discussion
A Table of Authorities is generally placed at the beginning of a legal document and
often uses Roman numerals for page numbers. If you want to format a Table of
Authorities differently from the rest of the document, you must insert it in a separate
section.
After you have marked all citations in a document, you can define the format of the
Table of Authorities and then, generate it. Word provides several built-in styles for
tables of authorities. If none of the built-in styles meets your needs, you can design a
custom format by modifying the various built-in styles.
In addition, you can keep the original formatting of citations as they appear in the
document, select the categories you want to include in the Table, and select a tab
leader (a series of characters that extends between the Table of Authority entries and
the corresponding page numbers).
You can also select the passim option on the Table of Authorities page in the Index
and Tables dialog box, which replaces five or more references to the same authority
with the word passim.

selected for the existing Table of Authorities remain in effect, you can change any of
those options as desired.
If, however, the changes made to the document affect only the page numbering, you
do not need to build a new Table of Authorities. Instead, you can update just the page
numbers in the existing Table of Authorities.

When you are working in a long document, it can be helpful to mark specific locations
in the document so that you can go back to those locations at a later time. You can use
bookmarks to mark a location in a document or to mark selected text, graphics, tables,
and other objects.
Bookmarks can also be used to create cross-references or mark a range of pages for an
index entry.
CREATING BOOKMARKS
Discussion
When you create a bookmark, you must give it a unique name. A bookmark name
must begin with a letter and can be up to 40 characters long. Only letters, numbers,
and the underscore ( _ ) character can be used in a bookmark name; it cannot contain
any spaces or punctuation.
When you create a bookmark, it is added to the list of existing bookmarks for that
document.

CROSS-REFERENCING TO A BOOKMARK
Discussion
You can use bookmarks to identify and go to specific locations in a document.
A cross-reference is used to refer to other text, an object, or a location in a document.
A cross-referenced location usually provides additional information related to the text
or object to which the cross-reference is attached. In a printed document, the reader
must go to a cross-referenced location manually in order to see the additional
information. A cross-reference is hyperlinked by default so that a reader, viewing an
electronic version of the document, can click the cross-reference to go directly to the
cross-referenced location.
Before you can cross-reference a bookmark, you must first define it. When you crossreference a bookmark, you must indicate whether you want to insert the crossreference to the actual bookmarked text, the page number on which the bookmark is
found, or the paragraph number in which the bookmark is located. If you crossreference to a page or paragraph number and select the Include above/below option,
Word includes the appropriate word (above or below) in the cross-reference.

Lesson 15 - Using Footnotes and Endnotes
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
USING NOTES
Discussion
You can use footnotes and endnotes to annotate text with additional information (such
as the source of the text, a definition, or a further explanation). Footnotes and
endnotes comprise two linked parts; a note reference mark in the document text and
its related note text. Footnotes usually appear at the bottom of the page while endnotes
usually appear in a group at the end of the document.
Although you would normally use either footnotes or endnotes in a document, you can
use both in the same document.
INSERTING NOTES
Discussion
Word automatically numbers both footnotes and endnotes. Consequently, Word
renumbers existing notes when you add or delete a note. Footnotes and endnotes,
however, are numbered independently of each other.
Footnote text always appears on the same page as the corresponding note reference
mark. Therefore, if changes made to document text move a footnote reference mark to
the following page, the footnote text also moves to the following page.
You can insert footnotes and endnotes in either Draft, Outline, Web Layout or Print
Layout views. When you insert a footnote in Web Layout, Outline or Draft views,
the note reference mark appears at the insertion point in the document and the
Footnotes pane opens in the document window. After you have typed the note text
into the Footnotes pane, you can leave the pane open and return to work in the
document. In this way, you can view the document footnotes at the same time as the
document text.
If you prefer to work in Print Layout view, you do not use the Footnotes pane.
Instead, the insertion point moves to the footnote area at the bottom of the current
page as soon as you insert a footnote, so that you can type the footnote text.
If you want to insert an endnote, an Endnotes pane opens when you work in Outline
or Draft views. To insert an endnote in Print Layout or Web Layout view, the
insertion point will automatically go to the end of the document, or to the end of the
current document section depending on the selected endnote options, so that you may
type the endnote text. After you have typed the footnote or endnote, you can doubleclick the note reference mark to return to the corresponding note reference mark in the
document text.

SETTING NOTE OPTIONS
Discussion
After footnotes and/or endnotes have been added, you can modify their placement and
appearance. Although footnotes usually appear at the bottom of the page, they can
also appear directly beneath the note reference mark in the document text. Endnotes
can appear at the end of the document or at the end of the document section in which
the note reference mark appears.
Footnote and endnote reference marks can appear as numbers, letters, Roman
numerals, or symbols. You can also create custom note reference marks. If you use
both footnotes and endnotes in the same document, you should select different
numbering formats for each.
You can select a different starting number for footnotes and endnotes, which is useful
if your document is to be added to another document. Footnote and endnote
numbering can be continuous throughout a document, or it can restart at each section.
Footnote numbering can also be set to restart for each page.

VIEWING NOTES
Discussion
You can view the notes in a document in one of two ways. In Draft view, you can
open either the Footnotes or Endnotes panes to see all the footnotes or all the
endnotes in the document, respectively. In Print Layout view, notes appear in their
printed location. For example, footnotes appear at the bottom of the page in which the
corresponding note reference mark is located and endnotes appear at the end of the
document (or at the end of the section in which the corresponding note reference mark
is located, if applicable).
Pointing to a note reference mark displays the note text in a ScreenTip. There are
different methods you can use to move back and forth between a note reference mark
and its note text, depending upon the view. Regardless of the view, double-clicking a
note reference mark in the document will take you to its note text.

BROWSING NOTES
Discussion
You can use the Go To feature to move quickly to a note. You can go to a specific
note, or you can browse through all document footnotes or endnotes.
The Select Browse Object button lets you open the Find and Replace dialog box as
well as browse by field, endnote, footnote, comment, section, page, edits, heading,
graphic, or table. If you choose to browse by footnote or endnote, you can view each
footnote or endnote in the document, one at a time.
When you select an object other than Browse by Page from the Select Browse
Object menu, the names of the Previous and Next buttons change accordingly and
the arrows on the buttons turn blue.
As soon as you select the object by which you want to browse, Word immediately
takes you to the next occurrence of that object in the current document. For example,
as soon as you select the Browse by Footnote button from the Select Browse Object
menu, the insertion point appears to the left of the next footnote in the document, if
one exists.
You can also select the Go To button from the Select Browse Object menu to open
the Find and Replace dialog box on the Go To page. On the Go To page, you can
enter the number of the specific footnote or endnote you want to view, or you can type
a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to view either the next or previous note accordingly. You
can also type a number after the plus or minus sign to move forward or backward a
specific number of notes.
You can click the page area on the left end of the status bar to
open the Find and Replace dialog box on the Go To page.
Alternatively, you can open the Find and Replace dialog box
by selecting the Find or Replace buttons in the Editing group

text. You cannot delete a note by deleting the footnote or endnote text, either in the
note panes in Draft view or in the note area in Print Layout view. The note text is
automatically removed when you delete the note reference mark.
Since notes are automatically numbered, Word renumbers any remaining notes
whenever you delete a note reference mark.
You can delete all automatically numbered footnotes or

endnotes in a document by opening the Find and Replace
dialog box. Select the More button to expand the dialog box
and then, choose the Special button to open a list. Select either

Lesson 16 - Creating Master Documents
Word 2007 - Lvl 3
USING A MASTER DOCUMENT
Discussion
It is often easier to manage a long document by working in smaller, separate
documents. You can then use the Master Document feature to display and manage
each of the separate documents in one combined document. Each document linked to
a master document is called a subdocument. Subdocuments appear as outline levels in
Outline view.
A master document can be created in Outline view from either a new or an existing
document. You can insert one or more existing files as subdocuments. You can also
use the Create Subdocument button to create a new subdocument without leaving
the master document; Word will create and save the new document, using its first
level heading as the file name.
Master documents allow you to view document flow, rearrange files as needed, and
generate both a table of contents and an index for the entire document, including all
subdocuments. You can also expand or collapse the master document to display or
hide the subdocument text.
The subdocuments are linked to the master document. The subdocument source file is
automatically updated whenever any changes are made to it within the master
document. The master document is updated as well whenever changes are made to
any of its subdocument files.
The Outlining tab provides buttons used to create, insert, and manage the master
document and its subdocuments.
You can break any long document down into subdocuments,

as long as heading styles have been applied to the titles in its
text.

INSERTING SUBDOCUMENTS
Discussion
Files inserted into a master document are called subdocuments. Subdocuments are
linked to their source files. Therefore, changes made to a source file are automatically
updated to the master document.
When you insert a subdocument into a master document, the subdocument text
appears in Outline view. You can then use buttons available on the Outlining tab to
collapse and expand the subdocument.
Word inserts a Next Page section break before each subdocument you insert and a
Continuous section break after it.
If the master document and the subdocuments contain duplicate style names with
different formatting, the subdocument text adopts the master document formatting
when inserted into the master document. For example, if the Heading 2 style is leftaligned in the subdocument but centered in the master document, all subdocument text
formatted with the Heading 2 style will be centered in the master document.

SPLITTING AND MERGING SUBDOCUMENTS
Discussion
You can split a subdocument from within the master document. This automatically
creates a second subdocument. The contents of the original subdocument are split
appropriately, with the relevant content cut from the original and pasted into the new
subdocument.
You can also merge two or more subdocuments (or parts of a split subdocument) into
one. This copies the text from the second subdocument into the first subdocument, and
unlinks the second subdocument from the master document. However, the second
subdocument is not automatically deleted, and remains as an independent, unlinked
file.
In the process of splitting or merging subdocuments, Word

may insert an extra blank paragraph into your content. You
may want to tidy up your content afterwards.

LOCKING SUBDOCUMENTS
Discussion
While working in the master document, you can lock one or more subdocuments so
that they cannot be edited by you or another person. If you open a locked
subdocument, it will be made available in Read-Only mode.
This setting, however, cannot be saved. Therefore, it does not protect the
subdocuments from changes once you have closed the master document.
You can also make the master document Read-Only by

selecting the Lock Document button in the Master
Document group. The Word title bar indicates whether the
document is in Read-Only mode or not. Using this feature,
however, does not prevent editing of the subdocuments and

OPENING SUBDOCUMENTS
Discussion
If a subdocument source file is open at the same time as the master document, the
subdocument is locked in the master document. You can view a locked subdocument
in the master document, but you cannot make changes to it.
When a subdocument is locked, a locked icon appears in the margin to the left of the
subdocument.
You can edit a subdocument in its source file or the master document. Since a
subdocument is linked to its source file, changes made to it in the master document
are updated to the source file and vice versa.
You can also open a collapsed subdocument by doubleclicking the subdocument icon to the left of the hyperlink. If
you prefer, you can open a collapsed subdocument by rightclicking its field code to open the shortcut menu then,
selecting Open Hyperlink.

subdocument is open, you can only edit the contents within the separate subdocument
file but the editing changes are incorporated in the master document.
While you are in MASTER2a.DOCX, try to bold the next instance of the Worldwide
Sporting Goods text. You are unable to edit the subdocument because the file is open
and it is locked to prevent editing in the master document. Close
PRODUCT6.DOCX. Now the subdocument is unlocked and you are able to edit the
subdocument in the master document.
Close MASTER2.DOCX.

CHANGING THE DEFAULT FONT ATTRIBUTES
Discussion
When you begin a new document, the font, font size, and font style used in the
document are based on the Normal style. If you prefer to create new documents using
different font attributes, you can change the default settings, including the default
style. When you change the default font attributes in the Normal template
(Normal.dotm) Word changes the font attributes for any styles based on the Normal
template. The changes, however, affect only the styles in that template.
Changing the default font attributes
Page 292
You can also make changes to the Normal style by rightclicking on the Normal style in the Styles group on the Home
tab. This action opens a shortcut menu. You can select Modify
to open the Modify Style dialog box. After making the desired
changes, you can choose the option to make this style
applicable to New documents based on this template.
You can open and use the Styles task pane to select the
Normal list and choose Modify to open the Modify Style
