Here's the opening pages of Formatting Magic with Word. The Table of Contents is here. " The ebook is a look at the many great options for formatting your Word documents, not just fonts and colors but also line spacing, numbering, paragraphs, frames and borders. We take you through the formatting options available in Word. There are the commonly known options, but there are many other choices that can help you with problems you can strike in making a document. We learnt a lot in writing this chapter. We hope you'll get something out of reading it and as a a future reference. Then we’ll show you an easy way to use those formats. Word has a great way to standardize the look of your documents, but it’s been so clouded in mystery and confusion that even the name scares people away: Styles. Styles can be your friend .. no honestly they can … there’s no need to run screaming at the very mention of styles. Formatting Magic in Word makes it easy. We’ll take you through the basics of styles and why they are good for you. We’ll also tell you about parts of styles that are good for experts but best for us mere mortals to avoid (at least at first). Finally we’ll show you a practical example of formatting and styles at work – using a personal letter to demonstrate various formatting options, how to make and apply styles and finally make a template for future letters.
Formatting Magic with Word is for users of Microsoft Word. Most of the information in this ebook applies to Word 2003 and 2002 (XP) in addition to Word 2007. This is the third in our new series of ‘Quickie’ guides – short ebooks on a specific topic offered for a low price. Organizing Outlook Email and Clever Outlook Contacts are others in this series. ‘Quickie’ guides are not intended to be full size ebooks like Office Extras Handbook or Eye-catching Signs with Word but rather a comprehensive view to meet a particular need and at a low price. Ebook powerLike the Desktop Search Handbook and Office Extras Handbook and Eye-catching Signs with Word, Organizing Outlook Email takes advantage of the flexibility in e-books. This is an electronic book and therefore you have options that you don’t have with dead tree (paper) publications. With Adobe Acrobat e-books you can navigate using the bookmarks pane on the left to jump around the e-book, and so it’s a more convenient and faster version of the traditional table of contents (but we’ve still included a TOC below). Searching. Use the Find or Search commands (under the Edit menu) in the Acrobat Reader to quickly locate what you need. More Searching. Naturally this handbook can be indexed and searched by any Desktop Searching program that indexes the content of PDF files. Just save it to a folder that is indexed and the Desktop Searching program should do the rest. There are lots more detail about this in our Desktop Search Handbook. Bookmarks. Choose View | Navigation Tabs | Bookmarks to see a tree view of the headings in the handbook. Click on any heading to jump to that section. This is similar to the Document Map feature in Microsoft Word. Resizing. You can change the Zoom setting in Acrobat Reader to make the text larger and easier to read. Comments. You can add your own comments and notes to an ebook – see the Comments menu in Acrobat Reader. Attachments. PDF files can contain documents within them for you to save onto your computer – much in the same way that email messages can have file attachments. Using this feature we can give you examples to try and use anyway you’d like. Choose View | Navigation Tabs | Attachments in Acrobat Reader v7 or v8 or Documents | File Attachments in Acrobat Reader v6. Color. To put full color images in a paper book greatly increases the cost but we can include them in our ebooks without increasing the price you pay. Full color images are especially useful in demonstrating some software features like color coding in Outlook. Printing. We let you print out all or part of ebook for your own use (many ebook publishers do not). Instructions are below. "
