LESSON 1 INSERTING DATES AND SYMBOLS


In this lesson, you will learn how to:
Insert the date and time
Insert symbols
Insert special characters

Lesson 1 - Inserting Dates and Symbols

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

INSERTING THE DATE AND TIME

Discussion
Word can automatically insert the current date and/or time into a document. You
might want to use this feature, for example, if you are creating a legal document and
the creation date and time are crucial and need to be seen whenever the document is
opened or printed. The date and time can be entered from the Date and Time dialog
box.
The Date and Time dialog box provides several date and time formats in various
combinations. If you prefer to use one date and/or time format exclusively, you can
set that format as the default. Depending on what multilingual capabilities have been
installed with Microsoft Office, you can insert the date and time in another language
format by selecting the desired language from the Language list.
The Update automatically option in the Date and Time dialog box inserts the date as
a field that automatically displays the current date and/or time each time you open or
print the document. If the Update automatically option is not selected, the date
and/or time of insertion into the document appears.

The Date and Time dialog box

You can toggle the view of any field between the field code
and the field result by selecting the field and pressing the
[Shift+F9] key combination.

INSERTING SYMBOLS

Discussion
Word provides many symbols for use in documents. These symbols are associated
with individual character sets. The available character sets are listed in the Font list in
the Symbol dialog box.
The most commonly used character sets are (normal text), Symbol, and Wingdings.
The (normal text) character set includes characters such as a single quotation ( ' ) and
the paragraph symbol ( ), in addition to the numbers, symbols, and letters found on a
standard keyboard. This font set also includes a wide variety of special and foreign
language characters, such as umlauts () and tildes (), organized by language subsets.
The Symbol character set offers characters such as the copyright () and spade ( )
symbols. The Wingdings, Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3, and Webdings character sets
contain many decorative and fun characters, such as bullets, stars, and arrows. For
example, you can use a Wingdings bullet character to precede each item in a list.
The Symbol dialog box also displays the most common and recently used symbols, as
well as the name (if it has one) and character code of the selected symbol. You can
use the drop-down list to display the character code in either a decimal or hex format.
If a shortcut key has been assigned to the selected character, it appears to the right of
the Shortcut Key button.

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

Lesson 1 - Inserting Dates and Symbols

INSERTING SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Discussion
There may be times when you want to use special characters in a document. For
example, you might want to insert a nonbreaking hyphen (which prevents a
hyphenated word such as open-ended from being separated by a line break), or you
might want to insert a nonbreaking space (which prevents two words from being
separated by a line break). Special characters are inserted using the Special
Characters page of the Symbol dialog box.
Word provides many special characters, including the Copyright (), Registered
(), and Trademark ( ) characters. For example, you may need to use the
copyright character when you asserting or acknowledging the copyright of a particular
document. A registered or trademark character would be appropriate if you mention a
product name in a document.
Many special characters have been assigned keyboard shortcuts that can be used to
insert the characters into the document. Using a keyboard shortcut allows you to insert
a character without opening the Symbol dialog box. For example, you can insert the
Trademark ( ) character from the Symbol dialog box or by pressing the
[Alt+Ctrl+T] key combination. You can also assign a shortcut key to or remove a
shortcut key from any special character, including shortcut keys that have been
assigned by default in Word.

LESSON 2 USING QUICK PARTS


In this lesson, you will learn how to:
Create a Quick Part
Add Quick Parts to a document
Insert document property fields
Use the Building Blocks Organizer

Lesson 2 - Using Quick Parts

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

CREATING A QUICK PART

Discussion
To avoid having repeatedly to reenter the same content in different documents, Word
provides an environment for establishing and reusing building blocks. These
building blocks can consist of text without formatting, paragraphs and other content
such as lists, images or customized smart shapes.
Word stores these in a gallery managed by the Quick Parts tool. The building blocks
that Quick Parts manages include a wide range of gallery types, such as Headers and
Footers, Cover Pages and Watermarks. When you create a building block, you can
choose what gallery to keep it in and can assign a category and a description to it.

The Create New Building Block dialog box

Page 12

To capture the formatting of the content, you must include the


paragraph marks in your selection before saving it as a
building block.

When you save the building block, you have the option of
assigning it to a different gallery and category. The default
options are the Quick Parts gallery and the General category.
You can add a text description, although the gallery will also
provide a preview of the building block.

rapidly into the document. Some property fields are automatically defined by the
documents content or by data that Word collected at the time of installation but they
can also be edited, either via the Document Properties dialog box, or at the time the
property field is inserted into the document using Quick Parts. This latter method is
the most convenient.
The document property fields available for insertion using Quick Parts are: Abstract,
Author, Category, Comments, Company, Company Address, E-mail, Fax and Phone,
Keywords, Manager, Publish Date, Status, Subject and Title.

Lesson 3 - Working with AutoFormat

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

USING AUTOFORMAT AS YOU TYPE

Discussion
AutoFormat can format a document as you type. AutoFormat analyzes your text as
you type and then applies the appropriate formatting. For example, if AutoFormat
detects a heading, it can automatically apply a heading style; if AutoFormat detects a
table, it can apply a table format. If you have any Internet or e-mail addresses in a
document, AutoFormat automatically formats them as hyperlinks.
You can enable or disable automatic formatting options on the AutoFormat As You
Type page in the AutoCorrect dialog box, available in Proofing in Word Options.
The options on this page are grouped under Replace as you type, Apply as you type,
and Automatically as you type. You can enable or disable any or all of the
AutoFormat options as desired.

CHANGING AUTOFORMAT OPTIONS

Discussion
When you are not sure how you want a document to appear, AutoFormat can help you
select the appropriate look. AutoFormat analyzes each paragraph of a document and
then applies the appropriate formatting. For example, if AutoFormat detects a
heading, it automatically applies a heading style. You can specify the extent of the
formatting applied by enabling or disabling particular options on the AutoFormat
page in the AutoCorrect dialog box, available in Proofing in Word Options. All
options are enabled by default.
Options that can be enabled or disabled in the Apply section include applying
automatic formatting to headings, lists, automatic bulleted lists, and other paragraphs.
Replace options include replacing straight quotes (") with smart quotes (,), ordinals
(1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) with superscripts (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), and typed fractions (1/4) with
fraction characters () for any fraction available in the current character set.

CREATING A TABLE

Discussion
It is often useful to put information in your documents into table format. For example,
an employee phone list is usually easier to read in a table.
A table is composed of horizontal rows and vertical columns. The intersection of a
row and a column is referred to as a cell. Text is entered into a cell and a cell can
contain one or more lines of text. You can also vary the amount of text you enter into
table cells. For example, one cell can have multiple lines of text and another can be
empty or have only one line of text.
There are several ways to create a table in Word. You can use the Insert Table dialog
box to enter the desired rows and columns and other requirements, or you can drag to
select the required number of cells in the Insert Table grid. Alternatively, you can use
the Draw Table feature to draw your own table. Additional rows and columns can be
added to any table, and extra rows and columns can be deleted. You can also create
nested tables. A nested table is a table within a cell of a larger table.
Formatting can be applied to: an individual cell, row, or column; a selection of cells,
rows or columns; or the whole table.

ENTERING TEXT INTO A TABLE

Discussion
When you create a table, the insertion point appears in the first cell of the table by
default, so that you can immediately begin typing text into the table.
Text is entered into a cell at the insertion point and is typed into a cell just as it is
typed into other areas of the document. When the typed text exceeds the width of the
cell, Word automatically wraps the text to the next line. In addition, you can press the
[Enter] key to create a new paragraph within a cell.

USING TABLE STYLES

Discussion
Words built-in table styles provide many combinations of shading and borders to
make the table easier to view and to add a more finished, professional look.
When you create a table from the Insert Table option, the Table Tools Design tab
opens with a selection of table styles that can be previewed and easily applied.
You can also use Table Styles to apply preset formatting to an existing table. As soon
as you select an existing table or position the insertion point within an existing table,
the Table Tools Design and Layout tabs are added to the Ribbon.
After a table style has been applied, you can modify or remove the formatting as
desired. You can also remove table formats by selecting the Plain Tables Table Grid
style from the Table Styles dialog box. When you apply the Table Grid style, all table
formatting is removed from the table; any character formatting you may have applied,
however, is not removed.

HIDING AND SHOWING GRIDLINES

Discussion
Word displays table gridlines by default. Gridlines are blue, dashed lines that border
each cell of the table. These are only visible on the screen, and will not be printed out.
You can only see the table gridlines where there are no borders. (The default border is
a black, solid, -point single line around each cell.)
The gridlines can be useful in viewing your table data, and in seeing how your table is
structured. However, you can hide the gridlines if you find them distracting.

The gridlines display as blue, dashed lines around each cell

The View Gridlines button affects the display of gridlines in


all tables in the document.

You can select a table by clicking the table move handle. The
table move handle, a square containing a four-headed arrow,
appears when you point to the upper, left corner of a table in
Print Layout view. You can also use the table move handle to
move the table within the document.

Procedures

USING THE DRAW TABLE FEATURE

Discussion
You can use the mouse as a pencil to draw a table. You can access the Draw Table
feature from the Table button on the Insert tab. This feature can also be used to add

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 43

Lesson 4 - Working with Tables

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

cells, columns, and rows to a table, in any dimensions you choose. You can also draw
diagonal lines to define the outside boundaries of a table or to split the contents of a
cell.
In addition, you can use the Draw Table feature to create a nested table. A nested
table is a table that appears within a table cell. For instance, you might want to use a
nested table if a document uses a table for its page layout and you want to use
additional tables within the document. Tables are often used to organize side-by-side
paragraphs of text in documents or web pages. Smaller, nested tables are then used to
contain reference material or graphics pertaining to information contained in the larger
table.
If you make a mistake while drawing a table, you can use the Eraser feature to
remove any incorrect lines.

Drawing cells to create a table

If you are in Draft view, selecting Draw Table will switch

You can also create a nested table by clicking in a table cell,

Lesson 4 - Working with Tables

CONVERTING EXISTING TEXT INTO A TABLE

Discussion
You can easily create a table from existing text in a document. The Convert Text to
Table dialog box allows you to select the number of columns you want in the table.
Word will suggest the number of columns and rows, based on the tabs and paragraph
marks contained in the selected text.
Alternately, you can indicate the character you want to use as a text separator; Word
will use the specified text separator as a column marker and determine the number of
columns based on where the text separator occurs in the text you want to convert. You
can separate text at paragraph marks, tabs, or commas, or you can specify a different
character, if desired.
In addition, the Convert Text to Table dialog box allows you to specify a fixed
column width, AutoFit columns to the text typed within them, or AutoFit the table to
the window.

The Convert Text to Table dialog box

Word always creates a new row at each paragraph mark.

SELECTING TABLE COMPONENTS

Discussion
You can select a single table cell, row, or column using the mouse. You might want to
select a single cell, row, or column in order to format or edit its contents.
You can quickly select a cell by clicking to the left of the first character in the cell,
within the cell gridline. You can quickly select a row by clicking to the left of the row,
outside the gridline. Likewise, you can quickly select a column by clicking above the
column, outside the gridline. The area immediately to the left of the table is referred to
as the row selection bar, and the area immediately above the table is referred to as the
column selection bar.
Once a cell, row, or column has been selected, you can perform certain functions on
the selection, such as formatting it or deleting its contents. In addition, you can move
a selected cell, column, or row, either by cutting and pasting it or by dragging it as
desired.
You select table text in the same way you select text in other parts of a document. For
example, you can select a word by double-clicking it, or you can select a paragraph by
triple-clicking it. You can also select a block of text by dragging across the text you
want to select.
Once text has been selected, you can perform a number of functions on it, such as
formatting, deleting, or copying it.

ROTATING TEXT IN A TABLE

Discussion
You can rotate text in table cells. This option allows you to create special effects. For
example, you can change the orientation of long labels so that they fit within the table.
The Text Direction button in the Alignment group on the Table Tools Layout tab
cycles through three orientations: horizontal, vertical facing right, and vertical facing
left. As you cycle through the orientations, the Text Direction button changes to
display the current text orientation.
When the insertion point is in a cell with rotated text, the alignment, bullet, number,
and indent buttons on the Home tab rotate as well to reflect the orientation of the text.
In addition, the vertical alignment buttons in the Alignment group on the Layout tab
also match the text orientation.

CHANGING COLUMN WIDTH AND ROW HEIGHT

Discussion
When you first create a table, the columns are a fixed width by default. As you enter
data into a table, you may find that some columns need to be narrower than the default
width and others need to be wider.
You can quickly adjust the width of any table column by dragging its column border
to the desired width. You can adjust as many columns in a table as desired, although
adjusting the width of any one column (except the last) does not affect the overall
width of the table.
If all the cells in a column are the same width, the width of the entire column changes.
If the cells within the column are different widths, however, only the width of the
current cell changes.
The overall width of the table does not change when you change the width of one or
more cells within the table. As a result, if you widen one column, the width of the
column to its right is decreased accordingly, so that the overall width of the table stays
the same. You can, however, adjust the overall width of the table by dragging either
the left border of the first column or the right border of the last column as desired.
Row height automatically adjusts to fit the font size or the number of lines of wrapped
text within a row. If you want to add more spacing above or below the text in a row,

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 65

Lesson 5 - Editing a Table

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

you can change row height by dragging the row border to the desired height. You can
only adjust the height of one row at a time by dragging.

If you hold the [Alt] key as you drag a column or row border,
the exact column or row measurement appears on the
corresponding ruler. (If you press [Alt] and click within the
document, this will open the Research task pane, so be careful
to hold [Alt] as you drag the pointer.)

You can also change column width by dragging the table


column markers on the horizontal ruler, or you can change
row height by dragging the table row markers on the vertical
ruler. If you need to specify precise measurements, you can
access the Row or Column page in the Table Properties
dialog box (available on the Table Tools Layout tab).

Procedures
1. Drag any column border to the left to decrease or to the right to
increase the width of that column.
2. Drag any row header border up to decrease or down to increase the
height of that row.

Step-by-Step
Change column width and row height.
If necessary, switch to Print Layout view, and display the horizontal and vertical
rulers.

ALIGNING TABLE TEXT

Discussion
You can align text in a table cell in much the same way as you align text elsewhere in
the document. In addition to the standard horizontal alignments, however, you can
also align table text to the top, center, or bottom of a cell. The alignment gallery
available on the Table Tools Layout tab provides every possible combination for
aligning table text both horizontally and vertically in one click.

DISTRIBUTING ROWS AND COLUMNS EVENLY

Discussion
Although you can individually size each cell, row, and column in a table, you may
decide that a table would look better if all the rows or columns were the same size.
The Distribute Columns button adjusts the width of selected columns to an equal
size, without changing the total width of the selected columns. For example, if the
total width of three unequally sized columns is six inches, distributing the columns
results in three columns, each two inches wide. In addition, you can distribute all the
columns in a table by first selecting the entire table.
Likewise, the Distribute Rows button distributes the height of selected rows evenly,
without changing the total height of the selected rows.
You can also select adjoining cells and distribute the widths of the cells evenly with
the Distribute Columns button. If you select only adjoining cells, and not entire
columns, the remaining cells in the columns do not change.

SPLITTING CELLS

Discussion
You can split cells to break a single cell or group of cells into a larger number of cells.
Splitting cells is the opposite of merging cells. Instead of creating a single cell from
multiple cells, you are creating multiple cells from a single cell.
In the Split Cells dialog box, you can specify the number of rows and/or columns into
which you want to split a cell. If you select multiple cells, the Merge cells before
split option is selected in the Split Cells dialog box. When the Merge cells before
split option is selected, the selected cells are merged as one and then split into the
selected number of columns or rows. For example, if you select two cells and then
choose to split those cells into six cells, the Merge cells before split option will
produce a total of six cells; three in each of the two selected cells. If you choose to
deselect the Merge cells before split option, however, those two cells are split into
six cells each, for a total of twelve cells.
When you are selecting cells to split, you can select an entire row or column, or you
can drag to select only the cells you want to split.

CREATING A TABLE HEADING

Discussion
You can create a table heading that appears on multiple pages. For example, if your
table extends to two or more pages, you might want to have your column headings
repeat at the top of each page.
If you want to view the table heading on pages other than the first, you must switch to
Print Preview or the Print Layout view.

The table heading can be created only from the top row or
rows of the table.

LESSON 6 APPLYING BORDERS AND SHADING


In this lesson, you will learn how to:
Use borders and shading
Add borders and shading to text
Add a border to a page
Add a border to a table
Remove a border from a table
Add and remove shading

Lesson 6 - Applying Borders and Shading

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

USING BORDERS AND SHADING

Discussion
Borders and shading can enhance the appearance of a document. Borders are lines that
appear around an object. Borders can range from a single horizontal line under a
paragraph to fancy boxes with drop shadows or three-dimensional effects. Shading is
color and/or a pattern behind graphics or text. You can add borders and shading to
text, paragraphs, graphic images, or tables. You can also add a border around a page
to make the page more visually attractive.
Horizontal lines under paragraphs are often used to separate sections in a long
document. You can create a box around a report title to enhance a cover page. In a
table, borders and shading can be used to differentiate column and row headings from
the rest of the table data.
Borders can be customized by changing their style, color, and thickness. Available
line styles include single, double, triple, solid, dashed, dotted, and shaded, among
others. Each line in a box border can be independently customized.
Shading provides a background behind text or graphics. You can apply shading to
text, paragraphs, individual cells in a table, or to an entire table.
Lines, boxes, and shading can be added to text, tables, and graphics from the Borders
and Shading dialog box.
After a border or shading has been added to a document, you can review or make
changes to its settings by clicking the corresponding link in the Paragraph section of
the Reveal Formatting task pane.

Page 84

The length of a line under a paragraph or the width of a box


around it is determined by the paragraph margins. You can use
the left and right indent markers on the ruler to adjust the
margins.

You can open the Borders and Shading dialog box by


selecting the Home tab, the Styles dialog box launcher, the
Style Inspector button and Reveal Formatting button or by
clicking the corresponding link in the Reveal Formatting task
pane.

ADDING BORDERS AND SHADING TO TEXT

Discussion
You can use the Borders and Shading dialog box to add borders or shading to text and
paragraphs. You can also remove borders and shading from text and paragraphs.
Before applying a border, you should select the line style, line width (thickness), and
line color. After selecting these line settings, you can apply a border style.
If you decide to change the line style, weight, or color of an existing border, you must
reapply the border for the changes to take affect.

You can make changes to existing borders and shading by


clicking the corresponding links in the Paragraph section of
the Reveal Formatting task pane.
You can remove borders from the current paragraph by
selecting the No Border option from the Borders menu.
Alternatively, you can select the None setting in the Borders
and Shading dialog box.

You can remove shading from the current paragraph by


selecting the No Color option from the Shading menu.
Alternatively, you can select the No Color option from the
Fill list in the Borders and Shading dialog box.

Both the Border Color and the Shading Color palettes


include a More Colors option that allows you to add colors to
the palette.

Page borders can enhance the appearance of a document such as an invitation. Page
borders are created in the Page Border page of the Borders and Shading dialog box.
You can select the type of page border: box, shadow, or 3-D. Then, you can choose
the line style, line color, and line width (thickness) of the border. Although the style,
color, and width settings apply to all the lines in the page border by default, you can
use the Custom setting to apply different settings to each line in the page border.
If your document contains sections, you can apply a page border to the whole
document, the current section, the first page of the current section, or to every page in
the current section except the first page.
The Options button on the Page Border page provides selections for modifying the
border placement on the page. Borders can be placed at specific distances from the
edge of the page or from the text.

Lesson 7 - Working with Drawing Objects

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

CREATING A DRAWING OBJECT

Discussion
You can enhance a document by drawing an object such as a rectangle, oval, line,
arrow, or polygon directly in it. For example, arrows can be used to point to important
items, rectangles or ovals can be used to draw attention to specific items, and lines can
be used to divide different items in a document. Drawing objects are created using the
Shapes button in the Illustrations group on the Insert tab.
Enclosed drawing objects (such as rectangles or ovals) are filled by default. Filled
objects are opaque and contain patterns and/or colors. If filled objects are drawn on
top of text in a document, the text is hidden. You can, however, remove an objects
fill. Unfilled objects allow the text behind them to be seen.
You can insert a drawing canvas. The drawing canvas makes it easier to create and
maintain complex drawings. All objects drawn within the confines of the drawing
canvas are kept together as one unit. Although drawing objects are stored permanently
on the drawing canvas, you can drag objects on or off the canvas as desired; Word
allows objects to be stored in the document text as well.
When you are drawing an object, the mouse pointer changes into a crosshair. The
center of the crosshair represents the outer border of the object. In addition, Word
switches to Print Layout view as soon as you click a drawing object button.
Drawing objects can be moved or copied to any location in a document, and any
objects stored on a drawing canvas are moved or copied as one unit. Once drawn,
objects can be modified to change their shape, size, color, fill, and pattern, as well as a
number of other attributes.

selected, blue sizing handles and a green rotation handle appear around it. Any
formatting commands you perform affect only the selected object. An object remains
selected until you select another object or click elsewhere in the document.
Different methods are used to select filled and unfilled objects. Since an unfilled
object is empty, you must click its border in order to select it. You can, however, click
anywhere in a filled object to select it.

MOVING AN OBJECT

Discussion
After you have created an object, you can move it to a different location in the
document by dragging it to the desired location. Moving objects is a good way to
reposition them so that they better enhance the text.
The mouse pointer must appear with a black, four-headed arrow in order to move an
object.

USING THE DRAWING CANVAS

Discussion
When you insert a drawing object such as a rectangle, oval, line, or arrow, you can
place it in a drawing canvas. The drawing canvas makes it easier to create and
maintain complex drawings. All objects drawn within the confines of the drawing
canvas are kept together as one unit. Although drawing objects are stored permanently
on the drawing canvas, you can drag objects on or off the canvas as desired; Word
allows objects to be stored in the document text as well.
The drawing canvas acts as a frame in which you can create and arrange multiple
drawing objects.

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 105

Lesson 7 - Working with Drawing Objects

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

You can use the short-cut menu to change the size of the drawing canvas. The Fit
button re-sizes the canvas tightly around the objects within it. Conversely, the
Expand button enlarges the canvas, creating more space between the border of the
drawing canvas and the objects within it. Each time you click the Expand button, the
canvas gets larger. These options only change the size of the drawing canvas; the size
of the drawing objects within it are not affected.
The drawing canvas helps keep the objects in a complex drawing together and allows
you to move and resize all the objects as one. Using the Scale Drawing button, you
can resize all the objects within the drawing canvas at the same time. When you move
the drawing canvas, all the objects remain in their relative positions and move with the
canvas. However, you cannot move the drawing canvas if the In Line with Text
option is enabled. Selecting any other text wrapping option allows you to freely move
the drawing canvas.
Before you can modify a drawing object, you must select it. When an object is
selected, eight blue sizing handles and one green rotation handle appear around it.
Any commands you execute affect only the selected object. An object remains
selected until you select another object or click elsewhere in the document.

DRAWING WITHOUT THE DRAWING CANVAS

Discussion
There are times when it may be more efficient to draw an object without using the
drawing canvas. The drawing canvas was designed to help control the layout of text
and diagrams in documents, as well as to manage multiple objects. If you are inserting
only one object, you can do this without the drawing canvas.
To draw a single object without the drawing canvas, simply draw the object without
first creating a new drawing canvas.
Pressing [Esc] hides the drawing canvas for an existing drawing, but does not remove
it. When you reselect the object, the drawing canvas reappears.
You can permanently disable the drawing canvas for all new drawings. If you do so,
the drawing canvas no longer appears when you click a drawing object button.
However, existing drawing canvases are not affected.

To disable the drawing canvas, select the Advanced page in


Word Options and deselect the Automatically create
drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes option.

You can drag an existing object off its drawing canvas and
move it to any desired position. You can then select the
drawing canvas and press the [Delete] key to delete it.

If you delete a drawing canvas with objects still in it, the


objects are also deleted.

FORMATTING LINES

Discussion
You can format lines by changing the line style, color, and dash style. In an enclosed
object, the line is the border around the object. In an open object, such as a line or an
arrow, the line is the object itself.
You can change the style of any existing line. Line styles can be used to change the
thickness of a line or to create double and triple lines. For example, to dramatically
separate items in a document, you can increase the width of the line that separates
them.
In addition, you can change an existing line to a dash style. Dash styles break the line
into dots or dashes. Dashed lines can help to enhance the appearance of a document or
to identify a means of separation.
You can also change the line color of a drawing object. Changing the line color can
enhance the appearance of the object. For example, if you are creating a logo,
changing the line color can help distinguish the border of the logo.
The Shape Outline button consists of two components. The left-hand part of the
Shape Outline button displays the currently selected color. To apply the currently
selected color to another object, you only have to select the object and click the lefthand part of the Shape Outline button. In addition, you can use the right-hand part of
the Shape Outline button to select a different color or style from the color palette.

LAYERING TEXT AND OBJECTS

Discussion
Word arranges objects in individual layers or stacks. You can use the Bring to Front
and Send to Back buttons available in the Arrange group of the Drawing Tools
Format tab to arrange the layers on which text and drawing objects (such as ovals,
rectangles, lines, and text boxes) appear. For example, if text is hidden behind one or
more drawing objects, you can display it by selecting the object(s) and using the Send
Behind Text option.
When you use the drawing canvas to insert objects, you can specify how you want
text to be wrapped around the drawing canvas with the Text Wrapping button in the
Arrange group. You cannot select text wrapping options for an individual object in
the drawing canvas. However, you can use the Bring to Front and Send to Back
buttons to layer individual objects within the drawing canvas.
By default, when you draw an object, it is placed in the top layer of the stack.

Lesson 8 - Inserting Graphics

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

INSERTING CLIP ART

Discussion
You can include pictures in a Word document. A picture can enhance a document by
depicting an idea that may be difficult to describe or by making the document more
visually appealing. Word supplies a collection of images with a wide range of
subjects, known as clip art; more are available online if you have an Internet
connection. You can use the Clip Art task pane to insert clip images.
If you want to insert a clip, but you are not sure which one you want to add, you can
perform a keyword search for clips. Words used in a search are called keywords. To
find a clip, enter a word related to the type of clip you want to insert in the Search for
box. If your document deals with sporting goods, for example, you can use the
keyword sports to search the Clip Organizer; any clip pertaining to sports will be
found. You can limit searches to specific types of collections or media files by
selecting the corresponding options in the Search in and Results should be boxes.
After entering your search criteria and clicking the Go button, thumbnails of all clips
found based on the search criteria are displayed in the pane below the search boxes.
You can scroll through this pane to view all your options.
When you point to a clip, a ScreenTip displays the keywords related to that image, its
size in pixels, its file size, and its graphic format. Clicking directly on a clip inserts it
into your presentation at the insertion point. You can use the list of options that
displays when you right-click a clip or click its drop-down arrow to copy or delete the
clip, copy to a specific collection (for example, Favorites), edit the clip keywords,
find clips with a similar style, or view the clip properties.
If the list of found clips does not suit your needs, you can change your search criteria
and search again. The Clip art on Office Online link enables you to search the larger
collection available online.

INSERTING A PICTURE

Discussion
In addition to clip art, you can insert a picture from an existing graphic file into a
Word document. Pictures can include scanned images, photographs, and drawn
objects saved as files. Before inserting a picture, you can preview it to verify that it is
the one you want.
A picture can float over the text, or it can be inline (that is, positioned at the insertion
point). If a picture floats over the text, it appears on the line above the insertion point
when inserted. You can, however, move the picture as desired; the surrounding text
will wrap around it as needed. If you insert a picture inline, you can drag and drop the
graphic at the desired document location.
The Picture Tools Format tab becomes available as soon as you select a picture in
the document, and closes when you deselect the picture.

FORMATTING PICTURES

Discussion
Although pictures are inserted with default settings, you can use the Picture Tools
Format tab to change these settings at any time. You can change the size, alignment,
and text wrapping style for inserted graphics. You can also apply frames or shapes to
the picture, add a shadow or a reflection, or change the pictures brightness, contrast
or color.
The text wrapping style of a graphic determines whether or not you can drag the
object independently of the text in which it is positioned. The In Line with Text
option keeps the graphic image within the document text. To be able to freely move
an object on the page, you may have to select another text wrapping style.

CREATING WORDART OBJECTS

Discussion
You can use WordArt to create a graphic text object. Graphic text objects can be used
to add emphasis to company logos, text advertisements, and newsletters.
WordArt is an application that can run only within a companion program (such as
Word); it cannot run independently. As a result, WordArt cannot create its own files.
Each object created in WordArt becomes a part of the Word document in which it is
embedded.
To create a WordArt text object, you start WordArt, select a WordArt style, and then
type and format the WordArt text.
Once a WordArt object has been embedded in a document, you must open WordArt to
make changes to the text or formatting. You can use the WordArt Tools Format tab
to format the WordArt object.

A WordArt object

You can create multiple lines in a WordArt object by pressing


the [Enter] key as needed.

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 135

Lesson 8 - Inserting Graphics

USING ADVANCED LAYOUT OPTIONS

Discussion
The Advanced Layout dialog box provides options for precisely positioning an object
in a document, as well as for wrapping text around an object.
The Picture Position page allows you to specify a horizontal and vertical position for
a graphic object. Objects are positioned in relation to an anchor. The anchor options
vary, but may include page, margin, paragraph, column, character, or line. You can
specify an exact measurement in relation to the anchor or a relative position, such as
the top or center. For example, you can specify that the object aligns to the right,
relative to the margin.
If you select a graphic and display the formatting marks, an anchor icon appears to the
left of the line to which the graphic is anchored. If you want a graphic to move with its

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 139

Lesson 8 - Inserting Graphics

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

associated text, you can select the Move object with text option. The Lock anchor
option guarantees that the object remains on the same page as the paragraph to which
it is anchored, even if the object or the paragraph is moved.
Wrapping text around an object gives a document a professional appearance.
Although there are several ways to apply text-wrapping options, the Text Wrapping
page in the Advanced Layout dialog box provides all possible text-wrapping styles. In
addition to selecting a text-wrapping style, you can control to which side of an object
the text wraps, as well as specify the distance between the object and the text.

Setting advanced layout options

Page 140

You can also use the Text Wrapping button on the Picture

Only a picture with an In line with text text-wrapping style


can be viewed in Draft view. To view pictures with other textwrapping styles, you must be in Print Layout or Web Layout
view, or in Print Preview.

The In line with text text-wrapping style positions a graphic


object at the insertion point; consequently, no Picture

CREATING WATERMARKS

Discussion
A watermark is a graphic or text that appears behind the text and objects on a page.
Watermarks are commonly used to identify the status of a document (DRAFT or
CONFIDENTIAL, for example). When you add a watermark to a page, you can
apply it to all pages of the document or just to the current section.
You can scale a picture watermark to increase or decrease its size. If you create a text
watermark, you can select a text option from the Text list or type the text you want to
use into the Text box. You can also select the font, font size, and font color of the
text, as well as position it as desired on the page.
To be effective, the contrast and brightness of the watermark should be adjusted using
either the Washout or Semitransparent options (selected by default), so that the
document text remains legible.
You can access the watermark image after it has been inserted by opening the Header
area.

Lesson 9 - Using SmartArt

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

CREATING SMARTART GRAPHICS

Discussion
Word provides a number of predefined graphics called SmartArt. These range from
graphical lists and process diagrams to more complex graphics, such as Venn
diagrams and organization charts. Using SmartArt enables you to include complex
graphical elements into your document with ease.
SmartArt graphics are categorized into seven categories: List, Process, Cycle,
Hierarchy, Relationship, Matrix and Pyramid.
According to your particular requirements, you can add and remove the shapes in a
SmartArt graphic as well as edit the text the arrangement of the shapes and the
amount of text in them is updated automatically, maintaining the original design and
borders of the SmartArt graphic.
When you insert a SmartArt graphic in your document, placeholder text may appear.
You can of course replace this text with your own, but if you choose not to, the
placeholder text is not printed, although the shapes are always displayed and printed.

The Choose a SmartArt Graphic dialog box

CREATING A CHART

Discussion
If Excel 2007 is installed on your computer, you can create charts in Word using the
advanced charting capabilities of Office 2007. When you insert a chart in Word, you
enter the data in an Excel worksheet that opens in a separate window alongside your
Word document. When you save the Word document, the Excel worksheet is
automatically embedded in the document. Only the chart is displayed in the document.
If you choose to edit the chart data, the embedded Excel worksheet redisplays while
you edit the data. Changes to the data display instantly in the chart and are saved when
you save the Word document.

CHANGING THE CHART TYPE

Discussion
You can change the chart type at any time to present your data in a variety of dynamic
ways. Different types of charts emphasize different aspects of the data. Clustered
Column and Clustered Bar charts allow easy comparison of the values in each data
series. Stacked Column and Stacked Bar charts instantly display the total of each
data series and show the relative proportions of each item in the series; however, it is
not as easy to read individual values. Line charts reveal the flow of data (for example,
sales are rising or falling), while Pie charts are useful for displaying the relative
proportions of items in a single data series and so on.

Page 166

Lesson 10 - Using Chart Creation Features

Changing the chart type

You can also change the chart type by right-clicking on a


blank area in the chart and choosing Change Chart Type
from the shortcut menu.

If you use one chart type more than any other, you may want
to set it as the default. Select the type you want to use and
click the Set as Default Chart button. The next time you
insert a chart, the new default type will be pre-selected in the
Insert Chart dialog box. This time-saving option does not
prevent you from choosing other chart types.

Not all chart types are suitable for all types of data. For
example, a Pie chart only displays a single series of data; if
you change a Column chart containing more than one series
into a Pie chart, only the first series is displayed. Some charts,
such as Stock charts, require a specific layout for the data.

CREATING A CHART FROM EXCEL

Discussion
If Excel is installed on your computer you can use advanced charting capabilities.
When you create a chart in Word, Excel is used to capture your data. However, you
can also copy an existing chart from Excel.
A chart copied from Excel can be embedded either linked to the Excel workbook or as
static data. If you choose static data, no link will be established between the Excel
workbook and your Word document; subsequent changes to the Excel workbook data
will not be reflected in the Word document.
If the chart is embedded and linked to an Excel workbook to which you have ongoing
access, you can specify that the chart in Word automatically checks for changes in the
linked workbook whenever the chart is opened.

Create a formatted AutoCorrect entry
Delete an AutoCorrect entry

Lesson 11 - Using AutoCorrect

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

SETTING AUTOCORRECT OPTIONS

Discussion
AutoCorrect automatically corrects misspelled or mistyped words as you type. For
example, if you inadvertently type teh instead of the, Word will automatically make
the correction. Word comes with a predefined list of commonly misspelled or
mistyped words.
Word provides several AutoCorrect options that can be enabled or disabled as desired.
For instance, you can enable or disable the automatic correction of two consecutive
capital letters (such as GReat to Great) or the accidental use of the [Caps Lock] key,
as well as the automatic capitalization of the first letter in a sentence and the days of
the week.
AutoCorrect cannot make the corrections immediately, because it needs to sense what
you are typing before it can make a change. As soon as you press the [Spacebar] key
or type punctuation, AutoCorrect attempts to make the correction.
You may have situations in which you do not want AutoCorrect to correct text. In
these cases, you can disable the applicable option, or you can use the AutoCorrect
Options list to reverse the AutoCorrect correction or to automatically stop correcting
the entry.

Discussion

to the blue bar, the AutoCorrect Options button appears. You can use available
AutoCorrect options to change the text back to what was originally typed, have
AutoCorrect stop automatically correcting the text, or access the AutoCorrect Options
dialog box.
For example, after you type the first line of text in a numbered or bulleted list and
press [Enter], the AutoCorrect Options button appears. At this point, you can accept
the AutoFormatting and continue typing your list, or you can use the AutoCorrect
Options list to undo the previous automatic list formatting or to end the list on the

CREATING AUTOCORRECT EXCEPTIONS

Discussion
You may have situations in which you do not want AutoCorrect to correct specific
text, although you do want the AutoCorrect option enabled. In these instances, you
can create an exception.
There are two common types of exceptions. By default, Word capitalizes the first
letter of the first word after a period. This means that the first word after any
abbreviation is potentially capitalized. Word maintains a list of exceptions, and you
can add to this list if you have abbreviations you use regularly.
The other common type of exception involves initial capitals. Normally, Word
corrects a word such as BEfit to read Befit. You may, however, have a product line

Page 180

Villanova UNIT Training

Lesson 11 - Using AutoCorrect

called BEfit that you do not want Word to correct. Although you can disable the
Correct TWo INitial CApitals option, you do not want to disable it just for one
word. On the INitial CAps page of the AutoCorrect Exceptions dialog box, you can
list words you want Word to ignore.
You can use the Other Corrections page to list exceptions that do not fall into either
of the above categories.

Creating an AutoCorrect exception

When the Automatically add words to list option is selected


and you use the [Backspace] key to erase and type over an
AutoCorrect correction, Word automatically adds the
correction to the appropriate exceptions list.

You can easily create an AutoCorrect exception with the


AutoCorrect Options button. Type the text in the document
as you wish it to appear and let Word correct it. Then, click
the AutoCorrect Options button and select the Stop

CREATING AN AUTOCORRECT ENTRY

Discussion
If you commonly misspell or mistype a word, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for
it. Once you have created an AutoCorrect entry, that word is automatically replaced
by the correct text whenever you mistype it in a document.
You can also create an AutoCorrect entry for any frequently used word or phrase.
Thereafter, whenever you type the defined AutoCorrect entry, Word automatically
expands it into the complete word or phrase. In addition, if you create the AutoCorrect
entry in all lowercase letters, it will be easier to type. For example, if your company
name is Worldwide Sporting Goods, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for it as
wsg. Then, whenever you type wsg, the full company name appears, correctly spelled
and with the correct capitalization.
You can add AutoCorrect entries as plain or formatted text. AutoCorrect formats plain
text to match the text it is replacing. Formatted AutoCorrect entries, however, always
retain their defined formatting. For example, if you create an AutoCorrect entry for
wsg as shown above and type it in bold, 14-point text, the expanded text will always
be bold and 14 points as well.
The name for the AutoCorrect entry appears in the Replace box in the AutoCorrect
dialog box and can be up to 31 characters long. The replacement text appears in the
With box and can contain paragraph marks and graphics as well as text.

CREATING A FORMATTED AUTOCORRECT ENTRY

Discussion
When formatted text is selected for an AutoCorrect entry, it can be stored as plain or
formatted text.
The Plain text option stores an AutoCorrect entry without any formatting. When
inserted, the AutoCorrect entry will always adopt the formatting of the adjacent text.
For example, if you create an AutoCorrect entry for the heading Worldwide Sporting
Goods (formatted as Arial, 14 points, and bold) and select the Plain text option, the
AutoText entry will adopt the formatting of adjacent text when inserted, even though
the original heading text had been formatted. The Plain text option is the default
option.
The Formatted text option stores the formatting of the AutoCorrect entry as well. If
the formatted Worldwide Sporting Goods text is stored as formatted text,
AutoCorrect will always insert the text with its original formatting.

USING FIND

Discussion
You can use Words Find feature to quickly find text in an open document. When
Word finds the text, it selects it. You can then choose to search the remainder of the
document or to close the Find and Replace dialog box. Using Find to move to specific
text in a document saves you time, as well as the effort of having to manually scroll
through the document.
Find begins searching at the insertion point; however, you can choose the direction in
which you want to search and whether or not you want to search the entire document.
After you have performed a find and closed the Find and Replace dialog box, the
arrows on the Next Page and Previous Page buttons on the vertical scroll bar become
blue and display the ScreenTips Previous Find/Go To and Next Find/Go To. Instead
of scrolling to the next or previous page when clicked, they now move to the next or
previous occurrence of the text in the Find and Replace dialog box, even if it is closed.
You can use the Browse by Page button on the Select Browse Option gallery to reset
the browse option.

such as information.
The Use wildcards option allows you to use the asterisk ( * ) and question mark ( ? )
wildcards to search for words that fit a pattern. For example, s?t finds the words sit,
sat, or set, and s*t finds those words, as well as the words shirt, shot, and sport.
If words have multiple correct spellings, such as theater or theatre, you can use the
Sounds like option to find the desired text.
With the Find all word forms option enabled, Word finds both singular and plural
forms of the search text (if it is a noun) and all possible tenses of the root form of a
verb (if the search text is a verb). This option is unavailable if either the Use
wildcards or Sounds like option is selected.

finding information about a person, finding the definition or synonym for a word,
finding the meaning of a foreign-language word, or translating a word into another
language.
You can open the Research task pane by selecting the Research button in the
Proofing group on the Review tab. If the task pane is already open, you can switch
panes by using the Forward and Back buttons. The Research task pane also opens
when you select the commands to use the Thesaurus or Translation features.
You search for information by entering your search text or keywords into the Search
for box in the Research task pane and then selecting the service you want to search. If
your insertion point is in a word when you open the Research task pane, that word
automatically appears in the Search for box. You can choose to search a specific site
or search all the sites in a service group, such as all research sites.

USING THE THESAURUS TO LOOK UP SYNONYMS

Discussion
As you create the text in a document, message, spreadsheet, or slide show, you can
use the Thesaurus to find a synonym for a word. Synonyms are words that have
similar meanings. For example, you may want to find an appropriate word to express
an idea or concept, such as when you are creating brochures and sales literature. You
can also use synonyms to avoid repeating the same word numerous times in a
document. The Thesaurus is a service of the Research task pane.

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 215

Lesson 13 - Exploring the Research Task Pane

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

If the Research task pane is already open, you can find the synonym for a word by
selecting the Thesaurus from the services list and entering the word you want to look
up in the Search for box. The easiest way to look up a word that appears in your text
is to hold down the [Alt] key and click the word. This inserts the word in the Search
for box. Furthermore, if the Research task pane is not open, holding the [Alt] key and
clicking a word or phrase opens the task pane with the search text inserted.
Synonyms are displayed in the Thesaurus box in the Research task pane. Selecting a
synonym in the task pane displays additional synonyms. You can use the Back or
Forward buttons in the task pane to return to previous search results. When you find
the right synonym, you can use the drop-down menu for the word to insert the word
into your application or copy the word to the Clipboard.

TRANSLATING TEXT

Discussion
The Translation service allows you to translate single words and phrases from other
languages using bilingual dictionaries. The Research task pane uses the dictionaries
installed locally on your computer to translate words, and if you have an Internet
connection, includes online bilingual dictionaries in the search.
The Translation service is available from Office 2007 applications such as Word,
Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint, as well as other less commonly used applications.
You enter the word or phrase you want to translate in the Search for box by typing
the text or by holding down the [Alt] key and clicking the text if it appears onscreen.
If you are translating multiple words, you should select all the text before [Alt]
clicking it. While you can use the bilingual dictionaries to translate words and phrases,
you can also use online services for a machine translation of larger amounts of text,
including an entire document. However, you should check a machine translation with
a human translator before using it.
You can select the resources you want to use for translations using the Translation
options link in the Translation list box in the task pane.

LESSON 14 USING TEMPLATES


In this lesson, you will learn how to:
Select an existing template
Create a template
Modify a template
Delete a template

Lesson 14 - Using Templates

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

SELECTING AN EXISTING TEMPLATE

Discussion
There are certain types of documents that you create and use again and again. For
example, your company may often use standardized memos or legal documents in the
daily course of business.
Rather than format a standardized document each time you need it, you can use a
template. Word provides several categories of templates, including Letters & Faxes,
Resumes, Reports, and Blog Posts.
Templates provide a framework for creating documents with a certain look. For
example, the Equity Letter template provides a standard letter heading and margin
settings, along with borders that create a polished look.
When you use a template to create a new document, the template itself is not opened;
rather, it is attached to the document. When you create a new document from the
Equity Letter template, for example, changes made to the document do not affect the
underlying template.
The New Document dialog box allows you to access any of Words preformatted
templates (including templates for memos, reports, letters, and brochures) or any
template you may have created. The New Document dialog box includes links to
templates available in the Templates dialog box, previously used templates, and
templates stored on a web site, such as those available on the Microsoft Office Online
web site.

CREATING A TEMPLATE

Discussion
Although Word provides a variety of templates, you can create your own template for
a form or document layout you use often. For example, if you create standardized
tables for tracking data, you can create a template to make this task easier.
You can create a template from an existing document or template. Templates saved to
the Templates folder will appear in the list of My Templates.

Lesson 14 - Using Templates

MODIFYING A TEMPLATE

Discussion
You can modify a document template to suit your needs. You can change a templates
text and graphics, macros, AutoText entries, menu settings, formatting, styles, and
shortcut keys.
Modifying a template is a good way to create a template containing the desired
attributes without having to start from scratch.

Opening a template for modification

Modifying a template does not affect existing documents


based on it. You can update the modified styles to existing
documents by selecting the Automatically update document
styles option in the Templates and Add-ins dialog box before
you open an existing document. To open this dialog box,
select the Office button, the Word Options button, and the
Add-Ins option. Then select the Templates option from the
Manage list and select the Go button.

When you have modified a template, you can save it as a new


template. This is as simple as using Save As. By default,
Word saves new templates in your User folder structure in a
Templates folder. This keeps them separate from the Wordsupplied templates. They are then listed under My Templates
when you next create a new document.

Discussion

LESSON 15 USING NEWSLETTER-STYLE COLUMNS


In this lesson, you will learn how to:
Create newsletter-style columns
Navigate columns
Change the number of columns
Change column width and spacing
Add a vertical line between columns
Balance column length

Lesson 15 - Using Newsletter-style Columns

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

CREATING NEWSLETTER-STYLE COLUMNS

Discussion
Some documents, such as brochures and newsletters, look better in newsletter-style
columns. In this format, text flows down one column to the bottom of the page and
then wraps to the top of the next column to the right.
You can apply this format to existing text or before you begin typing new text. The
Columns button in the Page Setup group on the Page Layout tab allows you to
create columns of equal width and spacing. You can use the Columns dialog box to
select additional options, including a preset format, a specific width for each column,
and specific spacing between columns, as well as insert a vertical line between
columns.
If you want to apply columns to only part of the text in a document, you must first
select the text. Word will create the necessary section breaks and apply the column
formatting. If you do not select any text, Word applies the column format to the
current section, or to the entire document if it does not contain any section breaks.
When you apply columns to text, Word switches to Print Layout view; you can only
view newsletter-style columns in Print Layout view or in Print Preview. In Draft
view, text formatted as columns appears as one single, narrow column.
When you are working with columns, it is a good idea to display the ruler.

NAVIGATING COLUMNS

Discussion
The quickest way to navigate newsletter-style columns is to use the mouse; you
simply click at the desired location to move the insertion point.
In addition, you can use the standard Windows key combinations to navigate columns.
Be aware, however, that the arrow keys may behave differently than you expect at the
bottom of a column. For example, you must use the right arrow key at the bottom of a
column to move to the next column.

You can edit text in a column just as you would edit any other
text. If you add or delete text, the text flow is automatically
adjusted.

Procedures
1. Scroll as necessary to view the columns.
2. Click the mouse in the desired column location.

Press [Left] until the insertion point moves back to the last line in the middle column.
Press [Ctrl+Home] to go to the top of the document.

CHANGING THE NUMBER OF COLUMNS

Discussion
Once a document has been formatted for columns, you may decide that its appearance
would be improved if you used more or fewer columns. You can increase or decrease
the number of columns as desired. When you perform this task, the text automatically
reformats to accommodate the new number of columns.
The number of columns is limited by the size of the work area. This limitation means
that a document with landscape orientation can fit more columns on the page than one
with portrait orientation.
You can change the number of columns in a document using the Columns button in
the Page Setup group on the Page Layout tab, or the Columns dialog box.

You can return a column format to a single column by clicking


the Columns button and then selecting the One option.

Procedures
1. Select the Page Layout tab.

CHANGING COLUMN WIDTH AND SPACING

Discussion
When columns are created using the Columns button, Word creates columns of equal
width. The column width and the space between columns are automatically calculated
based on the width of the page and the margin size. When you create columns from
the Columns dialog box, however, you can select from several column width and
spacing options.
In addition, you can change the width and spacing of existing columns. You can drag
in the ruler to change column width and spacing, but if you want to set the width
and/or spacing to an exact measurement, you should use the Columns dialog box.
Whenever changes are made, the width and spacing of the other columns are adjusted
as necessary to accommodate the page margins.
You can resize columns equally by selecting the Equal column width option in the
Columns dialog box. To change the width of individual columns, however, you must
deselect the Equal column width option.

ADDING A VERTICAL LINE BETWEEN COLUMNS

Discussion
You can add a vertical line between columns. Vertical lines can make the text easier
to read and enhance the appearance of the document. Adding a vertical line between
columns is most often used when columns are of uneven width or if the spacing
between columns is small.
Vertical lines only appear in Print Preview or Print Layout view on the screen. They
also appear in the printed document.

BALANCING COLUMN LENGTH

Discussion
When using newsletter-style columns, the text in the last column on the last page may
not fill the page, resulting in an uneven or unbalanced appearance. You can correct
this effect by balancing the columns so they are an even length. Columns are balanced
by inserting a continuous break at the end of the last column.

CREATING AN OUTLINE

Discussion
You can create outlines in Word. Outlines are useful for listing items and including
information about each item. For example, you could list the points you want to cover
in a presentation, topics to cover in a meeting, or items to include in a report, along
with the supporting points for each item.
An outline is composed of headings and body text. The headings are structured
hierarchically. Word provides nine styles for headings, Heading 1 through
Heading 9. For example, each point in a presentation might have a Heading 1 style.
The supporting information for each topic is listed in subordinate headings. Body text
is the detailed information under each heading. When an item contains body text, it is
said to have subtext. Body text uses the Normal style.
Outline view can also be useful in gaining an overview of large documents.
You should switch to Outline view when you are creating outlines, since this view
automatically displays the Outlining tab. This tab contains all the functions necessary
to create an outline.
When you begin a new document in Outline view, the first paragraph uses the
Heading 1 style. When you press the [Enter] key at the end of a paragraph, the next
paragraph uses the same heading style as the previous one.

WORKING IN OUTLINE VIEW

Discussion
An outline consists of levels and sublevels. As you create an outline in Outline view,
you can demote and promote text to create levels, as well as change existing text to a
different level.
When you demote text, it becomes a subheading (or sublevel) of the level above it.
The text of the demoted heading is indented and its style changes to that of the next
lower heading level. When you promote text, it is indented to the left and its heading
style changes accordingly. You can promote or demote text at any time as your outline
changes.
In order to change the level of any text, the insertion point must be positioned in the
text. You can change the level of existing text, or you can change the level before
typing new text.
The Outline Tools group provides buttons to help you promote and demote headings
one level at a time, or you can use the Outline Level box to select a specific outline
level, from Level 1 to Level 9, as well as Body text.

Promoting and demoting the levels of outline text


Page 256

Villanova UNIT Training

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

Lesson 16 - Using Outline View

You can also demote text by pressing the [Tab] key or


promote text by pressing the [Shift+Tab] key combination.

When you print a document in Outline view, Word prints the


document exactly as it appears on the screen. Therefore, you
can expand or collapse the outline as desired to print only
specific levels. Word does not print the symbols preceding
each level, and the outline level indents do not print or appear
in Print Layout view.

You delete text in an outline just as you would delete any


other text. Be careful, however: if you delete a collapsed
heading, all the sublevels under it are deleted as well.

Procedures
1. Position the insertion point in the text you want to demote.

COLLAPSING/EXPANDING OUTLINE HEADINGS

Discussion
With outlines, you can easily control which text appears by collapsing and expanding
levels. When you collapse a level, only its heading appears, with a gray line
underneath it.
If there are sublevels or body text under a heading, a plus symbol (+) in a gray circle
appears next to the heading in the document. If a heading has no sublevels or subtext,
a minus sign (-) in a gray circle appears next to the heading. A smaller gray circle,
with no symbol, appears next to body text. Clicking these gray circles selects the
headings or text, as appropriate. It is important to remember that the symbols (+ or -)
do not change to indicate whether the text is collapsed or expanded; they simply
indicate the presence or absence of sublevels.
When a collapsed heading is promoted, demoted, or moved, its subtext is also
promoted, demoted, or moved. If an expanded heading is promoted, demoted, or
moved, its subtext is promoted, demoted, or moved only if it has been selected as
well.

You can expand or collapse all sublevels under a heading by


double-clicking the plus symbol (+) to the left of the heading.

Procedures
1. Position the insertion point in the heading you want to collapse.
2. Select the Collapse button
in the Outline Tools group once for
each sublevel you want to hide.
3. Position the insertion point in the heading you want to expand.
4. Select the Expand button

SAVING FILES IN THE HTML FILE FORMAT

Discussion
Word allows you to save documents in the HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) file
format. This file format allows you to create links to documents on the World Wide
Web and on intranet webs. In addition, this file format also allows you to use Word as
an HTML editor to create and edit web pages and web sites.
When you save a Word document in HTML format, Word closes the document and
opens the HTML file, so that it can be viewed as it would appear in a web browser. In
the HTML file, Word automatically creates a title for the page based on the first
heading; this title replaces the file name in the title bar of the browser window. You
can change the title of the web page before you save it.
Certain Word formatting features are not supported by the HTML format and
therefore, do not appear in the converted HTML file. Word formats not supported by
HTML include font sizes. (Fonts are automatically mapped to the closest HTML size
available.) Special text formatting (e.g. outline text effects and shadows) is lost, but
the original text is retained. Graphics (i.e. inserted pictures and clip art) are converted
to the .gif file format, unless they are already saved in the compatible .jpg format.
Although tables are supported, special formatting (such as vertical text) is lost. Page
numbering is not supported, since HTML documents are all considered to be single
pages. Headers, footers, footnotes, and endnotes are also not supported. In addition,
other items such as margins, page borders, and newsletter-style columns are not
supported.
You can preview your document as a web page before saving it as an HTML file to
see which features are supported. Select the View tab, then the Web Layout button in
the Document Views group.

USING HYPERLINK AUTOMATIC FORMATTING

Discussion
Word automatically recognizes URLs (web page addresses) and e-mail addresses as
soon as they are entered into a document and automatically formats them as
hyperlinks. Readers of the web page can then click the hyperlink to open the related
web page or document, or to open the mail client installed on their system in order to
deliver a message via e-mail.
Word recognizes the standard format of web page addresses and e-mail addresses and,
therefore, is able to automatically create the hyperlink format. A typical URL is
www.globalknowledge.com and a typical e-mail address is
johnsmith@globalknowledge.com.

LINKING TO A PAGE

Discussion
You can create a hyperlink from existing text. This feature is useful if you want to link
existing text to another document or to specific text in another document.
The Insert Hyperlink dialog box allows you to specify the file or the URL to which
you want to link the text, as well as indicate a named location in the target file. By
specifying a location within the target file, that particular section of the document
appears when you click the link. Locations in the target file are named using the
Bookmark feature.

You can use the Insert Hyperlink dialog box to link to a file on
a local storage device or to a page on the World Wide Web.
You can type the file name or the URL, or you can use the
appropriate Browse button. You can also use the Link to

PASTING A LINK

Discussion
You can paste information from another document or web page as a link. When you
paste information as a link, Word stores a path to the original (source) information. As
long as the link is maintained, the pasted information will be updated whenever the
source information changes.
This feature is useful when you want to maintain one document as a source and use it
as a reference in various other documents.
An OLE (object linking and embedding) linked bookmark is automatically created to
store information pasted as a link. Any text within the bookmark brackets will be
updated whenever the source information changes.

You can view bookmark brackets by selecting the Office

UPDATING A LINK

Discussion
Once you have pasted information from another document or web page as a link, you
may want to manually update your links to make sure the most recent edits are visible.
The links in the document will automatically update every time the document is
opened, however, unless the default settings have been changed. To view or change
the settings, select the Office button, the Word Options button, and the Advanced
option, then scroll down to the General area. Make sure the Update automatic links
at open option is selected (this is the default setting).
You will also want to make sure that links are updated before printing, so that you
know you are printing the most recent information. While you are in Word Options,
select the Display option. In the Printing options area, select the Update linked data
before printing option. This is a system option that applies to all documents that are
printed, not just the current document.

You can use the Links dialog box to update, open, change, or
break the source of a link. The Links dialog box also allows
you to control the automatic updating of each link. You can
open the Links dialog box by right-clicking on the link, then
selecting the Linked Document Object option on the shortcut
menu, and the Links option on the submenu.

If you move a document to which another document is linked,


Word will no longer be able to find it and, as a result, will no
longer be able to update the linked information.

Procedures
1. Right-click the link you want to update.
2. Select the Update Link option from the shortcut menu.

BROWSING LINKED PAGES AND LOCATIONS

Discussion
Word can be used as a basic web browser. You can load and view web pages, as well
as use hyperlinks to browse to web sites and other pages.
You can use the Location box in the Document Information Panel to enter URLs,
so you can jump to specific web pages. You can also customize the Quick Access
Toolbar to include browser-style Back and Forward navigational buttons.
The browsing functionality within Word is, however, limited. It can be very useful to
view and edit your local documents and web pages in Word, but it is probably wiser to
use Microsoft Internet Explorer for any prolonged web browsing.

To open the Document Information Panel, select the Office


button, then point to the Prepare option. Select the Properties

Discussion
If a document is reviewed, revised, or edited by you or others, you can use revision
marks to track changes made by the various reviewers. The Track Changes feature
uses various formats to display the changes made to a document, and each reviewers
changes appear in a different color.
You can hide the revision marks in a document so that you do not see them on the
screen or in the printed document. Although the marks are hidden, they are still stored
in the document and you can view or print them at any time.

By default, Word 2007 underlines inserted text, strikes through deleted text and
automatically assigns a different color to the revisions made by each author. Text that
has been moved is shown in two ways. At the location it was moved from, the text is
shown in green and struck through with a double line. At the location it was moved to,
it is again shown in green but with a double underline. Changes to cells in tables are
highlighted with different background colors for the cells.
Vertical lines appear along the outside border (i.e. left margin for left-hand pages and
right margin for right-hand pages) to indicate where changes have been made.
For comments added by reviewers and for formatting changes, Word 2007 also
displays balloons in the right margin with lines connecting to the document text in
Print Layout, Web Layout and Full Screen Reading views.

INSERTING COMMENTS

Discussion
When developing a document, you may want others to review it without making
changes to the text. Reviewers can add comments to a document, instead of making
changes in it.
Before you insert a comment into a document, you can select text to which you want
to attach it, or you can simply position the insertion point in the text. After you have
inserted a comment, red brackets (called comment marks) appear around the selected
text, indicating that a comment has been inserted. If you did not select any text, the
word nearest to the insertion point is automatically selected and the comment marks
appear around the selected word.
In Print Layout, Web Layout and Full Screen Reading view, comments appear in
colored balloons in the Markup Area at the right side of the page. Each reviewer is
assigned a different color and the initials of the reviewer are displayed in each
balloon.

VIEWING AND NAVIGATING COMMENTS

Discussion
You can use the Review tab to navigate and delete comments. This is particularly
useful in large documents to which several reviewers have added comments. You can
quickly step from one comment to the next and delete comments you no longer need.
You can also choose to display and navigate only the comments from selected
reviewers, which makes it easy to review the comments from one reviewer at a time,
if required.
Word 2007 steps through comments beginning from the position of the insertion
point, so it is generally best to move to the top of the document before beginning your
review. However, if you have already reviewed part of the document, this means it is
also easy to continue from where you left off previously.

COMPARING DOCUMENTS

Discussion
You can easily compare two versions of a document (the Original Document and a
Revised Document). Word 2007 compares the two documents and displays the result
in a Compared Document pane. The Compared Document shows the text of the
Original Document with the differences found in the Revised Document marked as
tracked changes. You can then review the changes and decide what to keep and what
to reject. This is known as the Legal Blackline method of comparing.
You can choose which types of changes you want to compare and you can select
whether to display the changes in the original, the revised or a new document.

Page 316

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

Lesson 18 - Working with Comments and Revisions

Comparing documents

If you want to compare changes from a number of reviewers,


do not use the Legal Blackline method. Use Combine
revisions from multiple authors instead.

By default, the tracked changes are labeled with the name of


the last person to save changes in the Revised Document.
You can change the label assigned to the tracked changes by
editing the automatic entry in the Label changes with text
box in the Compare Documents dialog box.

By default, the vertical Reviewing Pane opens to the left of


the Compared Document pane. You can use the left-hand
part of the Reviewing Pane button to hide or display the
Reviewing Pane. You can use the arrow on the right-hand
part of the Reviewing Pane button to switch between the
horizontal and vertical Reviewing Pane.

By default, both the Original Document and the Revised


Document (the Source Documents) display in separate panes
to the right of the Compared Document pane. You can use
the Show Source Documents button to hide or display either
document.

COMBINING MULTIPLE REVISIONS

Discussion
You can compare multiple versions of a document and decide which changes you
want to keep. If you create several drafts of the same document or ask several people
to review a document you can compare the differences by combining the documents.
Combining documents is similar to comparing documents using the Legal Blackline
method but with one major difference.
You begin by combining the Original Document and the first Revised Document.
Word 2007 displays the result in a Combined Document pane. The Combined
Document shows the text of the Original Document with the differences found in the
Revised Document marked as tracked changes.
The difference between this and the Legal Blackline method is that, if either the
Original Document or the Revised Document already contained tracked changes,
they are carried through into the Combined Document so you can see who is
responsible for each change. Any untracked changes are attributed to the last person to
save the document.
You then combine the next Revised Document into the Combined Document. Again
the existing tracked changes are retained and any untracked changes are attributed to
the last person to save the document.
The process is repeated for each Revised Document until all versions have been
incorporated into the Combined Document. You can then review all the changes and
decide what to keep and what to reject.
You can choose which types of changes you want to incorporate into the Combined
Document and at each stage you can select whether the changes should be combined
into the Original Document, the Revised Document or a new document.

Villanova UNIT Training

Page 321

Lesson 18 - Working with Comments and Revisions

The Combine Documents dialog box

Page 322

Tracked changes are incorporated into the Combined


Document together with the name of the person who made the
changes. Untracked changes are marked by default with the
name of the person who last saved the document. When
combining multiple documents, at each stage you can change
the label assigned to untracked changes by editing the default
entry in the Label unmarked changes with text boxes in the
Combine Documents dialog box.

By default, the vertical Reviewing Pane opens to the left of


the Combined Document pane. You can use the left-hand
part of the Reviewing Pane button to hide or display the
Reviewing Pane. You can use the arrow on the right-hand
part of the Reviewing Pane button to switch between the
horizontal and vertical Reviewing Pane.

By default, both the Original Document and the Revised


Document (the Source Documents) display in separate panes
to the right of the Combined Document pane. You can use
the Show Source Documents button to hide or display either
document.

Villanova UNIT Training

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

Lesson 18 - Working with Comments and Revisions

Because of the way formatting changes are displayed, Word


2007 can only store one set of formatting changes at a time.
Therefore, when you combine multiple documents, at each
stage you may be prompted to decide whether you want to
keep the tracked formatting changes already shown in the
Original Document or use the formatting from the Revised
Document. If you do not need to track formatting changes you
can clear the Formatting check box in the Combine
Documents dialog box before combining. If you do need to
track formatting changes, you should review the tracked
formatting changes after combining each Revised Document
and accept or reject each formatting change as desired.

The options available in the extended dialog box that is


displayed when you click the More button in the Combine
Documents dialog box are shared with the Compare

REVIEWING TRACKED CHANGES

Discussion
You can use the Review tab to navigate and accept or reject tracked changes. This is
particularly useful when revisions have been made by several reviewers or when you
have combined several versions of a document. You can quickly step from one
tracked change to the next and accept or reject each change. When you accept or
reject a tracked change, Word 2007 removes the markup balloon and revision marks
from the item.
Word 2007 steps through tracked changes beginning from the position of the insertion
point, so it is generally best to move to the top of the document before starting your
review. However, if you have already reviewed part of the document, this means it is
also easy to continue from where you left off previously.

Page 328

You can use the Reviewing Pane button on the Reviewing tab
to display the revisions in the Reviewing Pane, if you prefer.

You can also use the Next and Previous buttons in the
Comments group on the Review tab to review just the
comments, if you wish.

You can delete a Comment using either the Delete button in


the Comments group or the Reject button in the Changes
group on the Review tab.

ACCEPTING/REJECTING ALL CHANGES

Discussion
Word 2007 provides several features to simplify the task of reviewing changes. By
default, tracked changes display in Final Showing Markup view. This shows the
document with suggested insertions and formatting changes displayed in the text;
proposed deletions and descriptions of formatting changes display in markup balloons.
You can easily change the display to Final view, which shows the document as it
would appear if you accepted all tracked changes, or Original view, which shows
how the document would look if you rejected all tracked changes.
Word 2007 provides options for you to quickly accept or reject all changes.
You can also change the display to Original Showing Markup view. This shows the
original text and formatting with proposed deletions displayed in the text; suggested
insertions and formatting changes display in markup balloons.
It is also possible to accept or reject only changes made by one or more authors rather
than all changes. If you display only changes made by selected authors, Word lets
you accept or reject just the changes shown.
Similarly, you can quickly accept or reject all changes of a particular type, such as
Formatting changes or Insertions and Deletions, by displaying only that type of
change and accepting or rejecting just the changes shown.

You can choose to display only certain types of changes by


clicking the Show Markup button in the Tracking group on
the Review tab and deselecting the types you do not wish to
display.

You can choose to display only changes from selected


reviewers by clicking the Show Markup button in the
Tracking group on the Review tab, pointing to Reviewers in
the menu that opens, and selecting or deselecting reviewers.

If you choose to hide at least one type of tracked change (Ink,


Insertions and Deletions or Formatting), or the revisions of
at least one reviewer, the following options are available:
If you click the bottom part of the Accept button in the
Changes group, you can Accept All Changes Shown.
If you click the right-hand part of the Reject button in the
Changes group, you can Reject All Changes Shown.

Comments group, you can Delete All Comments Shown.

If you hide one or more types of markup, such as Formatting


or Insertions and Deletions, then select Accept All Changes

PRINTING MARKUP

Discussion
By default, when you print a document containing markup, Word 2007 prints the
markup exactly as it appears in the document in Print Layout view. You can also

Page 336

Villanova UNIT Training

Word 2007 - Lvl 2

Lesson 18 - Working with Comments and Revisions

choose to print the document without the markup or to print just a list of the markup
which prints the contents of the Reviewing Pane.
When you print a list of markup, the heading for each revision or comment includes
the page number on which the item appears as well as the name of the reviewer and
the date and time the revision was made.

Before printing markup you should display the document in


Print Layout view and use the options available on the
Display for Review, Show Markup and Balloons buttons in
the Tracking group on the Review tab to control the way that
markup is displayed.

To print the document without markup, select Document from


the Print what list in the Print dialog box.

To print the contents of the Reviewing Pane, select List of


markup from the Print what list in the Print dialog box.

If you print a document using the Document showing


markup option and one or more of the markup balloons in the
document cannot display all the text of the revision or
comment, Word also prints a list of markup containing the
entire text of each revision or comment that could not be
completely displayed in the document.

To print the complete text of large revisions or comments in


markup balloons in the document rather than as an additional
list of markup, click the bottom part of the Track Changes
button in the Tracking group on the Review tab and select
Change Tracking Options, increase the Preferred width
option in the Balloons section of the dialog box and set the
Paper orientation in printing option to Force Landscape.

SELECTING FILE VIEWS

Discussion
By default, the Open dialog box displays all files saved in Word format. The Views
button towards the top of the Open dialog box allows you to select one of seven
views: Extra Large Icons, Large Icons, Medium Icons, Small Icons, List, Details,
or Tiles.
The four Icons views display the files alphabetically in horizontal rows, with each file
represented by an icon respectively. The icons in Extra Large Icons view, however,
are so large that only one fits in the pane at a time. The icon represents the application
in which the file was created, and the name of the file appears below each icon. The
Small Icons view is the default setting.
The List view is similar to the Small Icons view, in that it displays only a small icon
and the file name; however, the files are displayed in wrapped column format, so that
more can be seen within the pane.
The Details view is a tabular view, with columns displaying the icon and file name,
the date and time the file was last modified, along with the type and size of the file.
The Tiles view displays a medium-sized icon, along with the file name, and the type
and size of the file.
You can change views using the Views list or by repeatedly clicking the Views button
to cycle through the available views.

SORTING WORD FILES

Discussion
Sorting files controls the order in which they appear in the Open dialog box. You can
sort by file name, date modified, type, or size, in ascending or descending order. For
example, if you want to display the files on which you most recently worked at the top
of the list, you can sort by the date modified.
Word 2007 also allows you to filter the files by a specific date, or display only the
files you worked on during a specific period; for example, this week. Similarly, you
can filter the files by file types, and so on. You can also group the files based on many
of the same criteria.

The files are sorted by date modified and filtered by type

ASSIGNING A PASSWORD

Discussion
You can assign a password to a file so that only those users who know the password
can open the file. Passwords are often assigned to files that contain sensitive
information. They can also be used to secure files that are stored on a network.
Passwords can contain any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords
must be at least 8 characters long and are case-sensitive.
After a password has been assigned, you will be prompted for the password each time
you open the document.
Different passwords can be assigned for opening a file and for making modifications
to it. If only a modification password is assigned, users can open and view the
document as read-only without knowing the password; they cannot, however, make
changes to it.

REMOVING A PASSWORD

Discussion
If a password is no longer necessary, you can remove it from the file. You can then

Before you can remove a password from a file, however, you must first use the
password to open it. The Password dialog box opens whenever you try to open a file
that has been password-protected.

USING DIGITAL SIGNATURES

Discussion
A digital signature is an electronic encryption-based stamp of authentication. It
confirms that the document sent by the signer has not been altered. It is easy to think
of a digital signature as a wax seal on a document. If you receive a document with the
wax seal intact, then you know that no one has tampered with the document. If you
receive a document and the seal has been broken, the document may have been
altered.
In order for a digital signature to be authentic, it must be acquired from a third party
vendor. Digital signatures you create yourself are called self-signed. Word does
provide a self-signed digital signature; however, since this signature is not issued by
another vendor, it is not considered authentic. In some organizations, self-signed
digital signature macros are not allowed to run. If you open a document with a digital
signature and make changes to it, the digital signature will be removed.

Adding a digital signature to a document

Page 354

You will need to save your document before a digital


signature can be added. You will be prompted to save your
document when you try to create a new digital ID, if you have
not already done so.

If you do not want to purchase a digital signature from a thirdparty certificate authority, or if you want to digitally sign your
document immediately, you can create your own digital
certificate. Go to Add a Digital Signature from Prepare in
the Office menu, and select OK. You may be prompted to add
a Digital ID, including your name, e-mail address, and so on.
Once the Sign dialog box opens, complete the Purpose for
signing this document box. Select the Sign button, and a
Signature Confirmation warning message appears. Select OK.

Once you have digitally signed your document, it is locked


against further changes until the signature is removed.

If you want to remove a digital signature, open the Office


menu and select View Signatures from Prepare. The
Signatures pane will appear on the right of the document.
Right-click on the signature and select the Remove Signature
option. Click Yes on the Remove Signature warning window.

Lesson 19 - Managing Files

Your digital signature can be authenticated only on the


computer on which you created the digital signature.

A digital signature can be removed and the document edited


by anyone with the same version of Word. However the
document can only be re-signed by the owner of the signing
certificate.

Procedures
1. Select the Office button

2. Point to the Prepare option.


3. Select the Add a Digital Signature option.
4. Select the desired option, and continue the process.

MANAGING DOCUMENT RECOVERY

Discussion
There may be times when Word closes unexpectedly before you can save changes to a
document you are working on, such as when your computer suddenly crashes or loses
power. The Document Recovery feature recovers as much of your work as possible
since you last saved your document.
When you re-start Word, one of two things happen. Either your document opens with
the latest changes so you can continue your work, or the Document Recovery task
pane displays automatically, and you will need to identify which version of the
document you want to keep. You can double-click the chosen document file name in
the Document Recovery task pane, select the Office button and then use the Save As
option to save the document.

Page 356

If you need to search for the original document, you can use
the Search feature in the Start menu. Enter the name of the
file in the top right-hand field and the results will
automatically be displayed. Double-click the file you want to
use.

You may decide to create backup copies of your work by


using the AutoRecover feature. Select Save in Word Options
and make sure the Save AutoRecover information every ...
minutes option is selected. Choose the interval that best suits
your requirements.

You might not be sure which version is the right version, so


you can save each version with a different name and then go
back later to review the different versions. Right-click each
version in the Document Recovery task pane, and then click
Save As to rename each document.
