DROP CAP

A drop cap is the first letter of a paragraph thats of a much bigger size than the rest that follow. The letter formatting is such that the letter drops down to cover the few lines following the first one. Drop caps have been extensively used, from the early days of printing to the advent of web publishing.

Click the beginning of the paragraph you want to emphasize. Then click the Insert tab on the Ribbon and choose Drop Cap. You can scroll to any of the three preset Drop Caps and the document will change with your choice. By default it will drop by three lines.

HEADER and FOOTER

Headers and footers are those little identifiers that run across the top and bottom of your document, providing important background information about it. They include such things as page numbers, dates, book or chapter titles, and author name. These small signposts improve the usability of your document, and they make it look professional.

On the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Header or Footer. Click Edit Header or Edit Footer. Type text or insert graphics and other content by using the options in theInsert group on the Design tab, under the Header & Footer Tools tab.

TIP To save the header or footer that you created to the gallery of header or footer options, select the text or graphics in the header or footer, and then click Save Selection as New Header or Save Selection as New Footer.

PAGE BREAKS/ SECTION BREAKS

You can use section breaks to change the layout or formatting of a page or pages in your document. For example, you can lay out part of a single-column page as two columns. You can separate the chapters in your document so that the page numbering for each chapter begins at 1. You can also create a different header or footer for a section of your document. In Microsoft Office Word 2007, you can choose many page layouts from the gallery of new page designs. For example, you can add a single-column page that has a twocolumn section by clicking that page layout option in the gallery of New Page designs. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Breaks.

Then click the type of section break that you want to use. COVER PAGE/ TITLE PAGE
