Specialized Microsoft Word Topics
- Breaks - Word automatically inserts a page break when you reach the end of a page. If you want the page to break in a different place, you can insert a manual page break. Or you can set up rules for Word to follow so that the automatic page breaks are placed where you want them. This is especially helpful if you are working in a long document.
- Header & Footer - Get a solid grasp on how to create and control headers and footers, ncluding page numbers, text, and images.
- Footnotes - Learn how to insert footnotes, change their location, and change their formatting.
- Page Numbers - You can add page numbers to the top (header), bottom (footer), and even the side margins of a Word 2010 document. Use the steps in this article to tell where and how you want your page numbers to appear.
- Styles - You might format a document while you type, or change fonts, font size, or colors for things like headings. Here’s a better way to get your document looking smart: Quick Styles. Give it a try by clicking the Style buttons in the ribbon on the Home tab.
- Track Changes - Track changes records every edit without making anything permanent. You can move, copy, delete and insert text, change formatting, and even change pictures and insert objects. And the person who sent you the document can see the changes you made and decide whether to accept or reject them. (Or you can do the same when others make changes to your document.
