Preface
Welcome to the Microsoft Official Academic Course (MOAC) program for Microsoft Office 2016.
MOAC represents the collaboration between Microsoft Learning and John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
publishing company. Microsoft and Wiley teamed up to produce a series of textbooks that deliver
compelling and innovative teaching solutions to instructors and superior learning experiences for
students. Infused and informed by in-depth knowledge from the creators of Microsoft Office and
Windows, and crafted by a publisher known worldwide for the pedagogical quality of its products,
these textbooks maximize skills transfer in minimum time. Students are challenged to reach their
potential by using their new technical skills as highly productive members of the workforce.
Because this knowledgebase comes directly from Microsoft, architect of the Office 2016 system
and creator of the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) exams, you are sure to receive the topical
coverage that is most relevant to students’ personal and professional success. Microsoft’s direct
participation not only assures you that MOAC textbook content is accurate and current; it also
means that students will receive the best instruction possible to enable their success on certifica-
tion exams and in the workplace.
THE MICROSOFT OFFICIAL ACADEMIC COURSE PROGRAM

The Microsoft Official Academic Course series is a complete program for instructors and institutions
to prepare and deliver great courses on Microsoft software technologies. With MOAC, we rec-
ognize that, because of the rapid pace of change in the technology and curriculum developed by
Microsoft, there is an ongoing set of needs beyond classroom instruction tools for an instructor
to be ready to teach the course. The MOAC program endeavors to provide solutions for all these
needs in a systematic manner in order to ensure a successful and rewarding course experience for
both instructor and student—technical and curriculum training for instructor readiness with new
software releases; the software itself for student use at home for building hands-on skills, assess-
ment, and validation of skill development; and a great set of tools for delivering instruction in the
classroom and lab. All are important to the smooth delivery of an interesting course on Microsoft
software, and all are provided with the MOAC program.

PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES
The MOAC courseware for Microsoft Office 2016 system are designed to cover all the learning
objectives for that MOS exam, which is referred to as its “objective domain.” Many pedagogical
features have been developed specifically for Microsoft Official Academic Course programs.
Presenting the extensive procedural information and technical concepts woven throughout the
textbook raises challenges for the student and instructor alike. Following is a list of key features
in each lesson designed to prepare students for success on the certification exams and in the
workplace:
• Each lesson begins with a Lesson Skill Matrix. More than a standard list of learning objec-
tives, the skill matrix correlates each software skill covered in the lesson to the specific MOS
exam objective domain.
• Every lesson opens with a Software Orientation. This feature provides an overview of the soft-
ware features students will be working with in the lesson. The orientation will detail the general
properties of the software or specific features, such as a ribbon or dialog box; and it includes a
large, labeled screen image.
• Concise and frequent Step-by-Step instructions teach students new features and provide an
opportunity for hands-on practice. Numbered steps give detailed, step-by-step instructions to
help students learn software skills. The steps also show results and screen images to match what
students should see on their computer screens.
• Illustrations: Screen images provide visual feedback as students work through the exercises.
The images reinforce key concepts, provide visual clues about the steps, and allow students to
check their progress.
• The Knowledge Assessment section provides questions from a mix of True/False and Multiple
Choice, testing students on concepts learned in the lesson.
• Projects provide progressively more challenging lesson-ending activities.
• The Student Companion Website contains the data files needed for each lesson.
V
Instructor Support Program
The Microsoft Official Academic Course programs are accompanied by a rich array of resources
that incorporate the extensive textbook visuals to form a pedagogically cohesive package. These
resources provide all the materials instructors need to deploy and deliver their courses. Resources
available online for download include:
• The Instructor’s Guides contain Solutions to all the textbook exercises as well as chapter
summaries and lecture notes. The Instructor’s Guides are available from the Instructor’s Book
Companion site.
• The Solution Files for all the projects in the book are available online from our Instructor’s
Book Companion site.
• A complete set of PowerPoint Presentations is available on the Instructor’s Book Companion
site to enhance classroom presentations. Tailored to the text’s topical coverage and Skills Ma-
trix, these presentations are designed to convey key concepts addressed in the text.
• The Student Data Files are available online on both the Instructor’s Book Companion site and
for students on the Student Book Companion site.

COPYING THE PRACTICE FILES

Your instructor might already have copied the practice files before you arrive in class. However,
your instructor might ask you to copy the practice files on your own at the start of class. Also, if
you want to work through any of the exercises in this book on your own at home or at your place
of business after class, you may want to copy the practice files.
This content was created using the Office 2016 Professional desktop version. If you have signed up

The Bottom Line
The Proofing group on the Review tab contains commands for launching Word’s Spelling and
Grammar functions, searching through references, using the Thesaurus, and counting words by
characters, paragraphs, and lines. The Language group contains commands for translating words or
paragraphs and an option to select a language. These and other commands for reviewing and editing
Word documents are located on the Review tab, shown in Figure 1-1.

2 Lesson 1
USING SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECKING

It is a good business practice to proof a document to ensure it is error free before sharing or printing
it. Word provides proofing tools such as a Spelling and Grammar checking function. All these tools
and commands are located on the Ribbon on the Review tab. The status bar also contains Word
Count and Proofing Error buttons that give you quick access to some proofing features. On the
status bar, Word automatically displays the document’s word count.
Checking the Spelling and Grammar Feature

Microsoft Word’s Spelling and Grammar feature is automatically activated by default and checks
the spelling and grammar in every document. Word underlines misspelled words with a wavy red
line and underlines grammatical errors with a wavy green line. Proper nouns are usually not found
in the dictionary, so Word will often underline them with a wavy red line, even if the word is
spelled correctly. If there is a word that you use often that is not found in the dictionary, you might
want to add it to your personal dictionary. Adding words to the dictionary is not covered in this
lesson. Word can often detect whether words are used inappropriately and it underlines the word
with a wavy blue line. In other words, if a word is underlined in blue, the word is in the dictionary
but not used correctly in the context. In this exercise, you learn to use Word’s automatic Spelling
and Grammar feature and its options to proof and correct your document.
STEP BY STEP Check Spelling and Grammar
GET READY. Before you begin these steps, LAUNCH Microsoft Word.
1. OPEN the Employ Offer document from the lesson folder.
2. Click the Review tab and then, in the Proofing group, click the Spelling & Grammar
button. The Spelling pane appears. The first word appearing in the Spelling task pane
is Süours, a proper noun not contained in the tool’s dictionary. The Spelling task pane
provides a listing of suggested words (see Figure 1-2).
Figure 1-2
Spelling task pane
Managing Document Changes 3
3. Click the Ignore All button to ignore all occurrences within the document, because
Süours is not in the main dictionary and it’s spelled correctly.
4. The word cofim is misspelled. The correct spelling is the second option. Select the
confirm suggestion and then click the Change All button to change all occurrences.
5. The next misspelled word is employmnt. The correct spelling is highlighted. Click the
Change All button.
6. The next misspelled word is beginning. The correct spelling is highlighted in the
Suggestions pane. Click the Change All button.
7. The next misspelled word is asistance. Click the Change All button.
8. A grammar error appears in the task pane. Click Ignore. This is covered later in the
lesson.
9. A prompt appears when the Spelling and Grammar check is complete. Click OK.
10. Notice how the icon on the status bar changes from an X to a check mark.
11. SAVE the document as Employment Offer in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
PAUSE. LEAVE the document open to use in the next exercise.
Take Note Ignore Once ignores the occurrence once and stops at the next occurrence.
CONFIGURING AUTOCORRECT SETTINGS

The Proofing pane of the Word Options dialog box contains Word’s AutoCorrect setting options.
AutoCorrect is a feature that replaces symbols, commonly misspelled words, and abbreviations
with specific text strings. For example, to add the Trademark symbol, type (tm) and it automat-
ically inserts the symbol TM. As you can see, AutoCorrect can save time in typing text. You can
manage the list of exceptions in the AutoCorrect Exceptions dialog box, such as not capitalizing
the first letter of an abbreviation. You can disregard two initial caps, as in student ID, or you can
customize and add or delete text. AutoCorrect is on by default, but you can use the AutoCorrect
options to disable or enable the feature. In this lesson, you learn to use AutoCorrect to replace text
and insert symbols in your document.
STEP BY STEP Configure AutoCorrect Options
GET READY. USE the document from the previous exercise.

1. Click the File tab and then click Options to display the Word Options dialog box.
2. Click Proofing on the left pane to display the Proofing options in the right pane. In the
AutoCorrect options section, you can change how Word corrects and formats text as
you type.
3. Click the AutoCorrect Options button to display the AutoCorrect dialog box with the
AutoCorrect tab open, as shown in Figure 1-3. Notice that the dialog box title indicates
that the program is set to check and correct text based on U.S. English.
4 Lesson 1
Figure 1-3

4. In the Replace box, type BYA.

5. Type Blue Yonder Airlines in the With box.
6. Click the Add button. The abbreviation and the spell-out you added appear in the list.
7. Click OK to close the AutoCorrect dialog box and then click OK to close the Word
Options dialog box.
8. In the first paragraph, at the end of the first sentence, place the insertion point after r in
for and then press the Spacebar once.
9. Type BYA and then press the Spacebar once. BYA is automatically replaced with Blue
Yonder Airlines.
10. Delete the extra space before the punctuation.
Take Note Adding acronyms or other text to AutoCorrect can save you time from having to type additional
characters. This is particularly true with frequently typed, long words or words that are difficult
to type.
11. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to open the AutoCorrect dialog box again.

12. In the Replace box, type BYA. BYA and Blue Yonder Airlines are highlighted in the list of
AutoText corrections, as shown in Figure 1-4.
13. Click the Delete button to remove the highlighted entries. Click OK twice to close both
dialog boxes. Now, if you type BYA in your document and then press the Spacebar, no
action will occur.

STEP BY STEP Disable AutoCorrect

1. By default, AutoCorrect is enabled. To disable AutoCorrect, open the AutoCorrect
dialog box again, as you did earlier in the Configure AutoCorrect Options section.
2. Clear the Replace text as you type checkbox. The feature is now disabled and the
Automatically Use Suggestions from the Spelling Checker checkbox, located at the
bottom of the dialog box, is grayed out to show that it is unavailable.
3. To enable AutoCorrect, select the Replace text as you type checkbox again. A check
mark appears in the box and the Automatically Use Suggestions from the Spelling
Checker checkbox again becomes available. Click OK twice to close both dialog boxes.
4. SAVE the file as Employment Offer 1 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
INSERTING AND MODIFYING COMMENTS IN A

DOCUMENT
Word’s Comment feature enables reviewers to integrate people and communication in different
settings. The visual look catches your attention with the Person Card shown on the right side
of the document with the individual’s name and picture—this identifies the user who made the
comment and has an active Microsoft account. The Person Card enables you to check whether the
person is available and communicate with them through IM, voice, video, or social media.
The default view for comments in Word 2016 is the Simple Markup, which gives the document
a more polished look, with a balloon in the right margin for each comment. This way, you can
read the document without the clutter of markups displayed on your screen—which makes for
easier reading.
Inserting, Editing, and Deleting a Comment

The commands in the Comments group on the Review tab (see Figure 1-6) enable you to insert
comments to yourself or for others, to provide feedback. When the Person Card appears, this in-
dicates that this individual has a Microsoft Account and has signed on to one of the Office 2016
applications. When you add a comment to the document, the person’s profile appears as a card
when comments are displayed. Microsoft has improved the comments feature by enabling you to
communicate with individuals who have commented on your document by providing the options
in the Person Card. Another feature in Word 2016 is the ability to mark a comment as done—in-
stead of deleting it.
Figure 1-6
Comments group
You can easily add comments to selected text by using the New Comment button on the Review tab,
the Comment button on the Insert tab, or by using the New Comment command on the selection’s
context menu. Once created, you can edit comments, delete them, and mark them as done. You can
move through a document with comments by using the Previous and Next buttons on the Review
tab. In this exercise, you learn to insert, navigate, edit, delete, and mark a comment as done.
STEP BY STEP Insert a Comment

1. In the first sentence of the second paragraph, select $55,000.
2. On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click the New Comment button. A new
comment appears in the right margin, labeled with the individual’s name and photo
icon. To see the Person Card, hover over or click on the photo icon. As you continue
adding comments in a document, you will see when the comment was added—
eventually this will change to the date the comment was added after the document is
shared.
3. Type into the comment balloon Will you please confirm if the salary is correct?
4. In the first sentence of the third paragraph, select $2,500.
5. Right-click the selection and then select New Comment from the context menu. A
second comment appears in the right margin.
6. In the new comment, type The relocation amount is $5,000. Figure 1-7 displays both
comments as balloons. If your screen is not displaying as shown in the figure, click
Simple Markup in the Tracking group.

STEP BY STEP Show Comments

4. Click the Show Comments button to display comments in the document. The Show
Comments button is a toggle to show and hide comments. The comments appear
on the right side of the document, and if you hover over them, you see how long ago
the comment was added. If the creator of the comments has signed into his or her
Microsoft account, you also see his or her name and picture.
STEP BY STEP Delete and Mark Comments as Done

1. In the Comments group, click the Next button to move to the second comment balloon.
2. In the Comments group, click the drop-down arrow on the Delete button and then
select Delete from the drop-down menu. The comment is removed.

shrinks and fades all comments and places them in the document background.
5. You can also reverse the action by right-clicking the comments individually and clicking
Mark Comment Done to reactivate them. Reactivate both comments
flash drive.
VIEWING COMMENTS
As you learned earlier in this lesson, Word displays comments as balloon icons in the document
when the default Simple Markup is enabled. Comments can also appear inline in the document or
as balloons. Balloons are markups in which comments are shown and the person’s card displays on
the right side of the document when you select that person’s icon. Inline comments are hidden; the
reviewer’s initials appear in square brackets beside the selected text. ScreenTips appear when com-
ments are inline and you place the mouse pointer over the inline comment. Both the balloons and
inline comments can be used with track changes, as discussed later in the lesson.
The Show Markup menu enables you to change how comments appear and specify which review-
ers’ comments Word should display. When Word is in Draft view, certain elements in a document
are not visible.
Viewing Comments Inline and as Balloons and Hiding and

Showing Reviewer Comments
In this exercise, you learn to change the comments display from balloons to inline.
STEP BY STEP View Comments Inline

the Comments group, the Show Comments button is highlighted, displaying all of the
comments by all reviewers.
2. Click the Show Markup button and select Specific People.
3. In the menu of reviewers, clear the Paul Süours check box. All of the comments
disappear from the document because Sheila Word’s comments were responses to
Paul’s concerns.
4. SAVE the document as Initial Offer Comments in the lesson folder on your flash drive.

10 Lesson 1
Displaying the Revisions Pane

Comments and tracked changes appear in the Revisions pane, either vertically on the left side of the
screen or horizontally across the bottom of the screen. When the Revisions pane opens, a summary
displays the number of insertions, deletions, moves, formatting changes, and comments that have
been made in the document. In this lesson, you learn to change the Revisions pane’s display from
vertical to horizontal.
STEP BY STEP Display the Reviewing Pane
GET READY. USE the document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. On the Review tab, in the Tracking group, click the Reviewing Pane drop-down arrow
and select Reviewing Pane Horizontal from the drop-down menu. The Reviewing Pane
appears horizontally across the bottom of the Word window. It tracks and documents
all changes.
2. To view the Revisions pane vertically, click the Reviewing Pane drop-down arrow and
select Reviewing Pane Vertical. The Revisions pane displays vertically along the left
side of the document (see Figure 1-9).
Figure 1-9
Revisions pane
3. Click the X on the vertical Revisions pane or click the Reviewing Pane button to close
the pane.
4. SAVE the document in the lesson folder on your flash drive and then CLOSE the file.

TRACKING CHANGES IN A DOCUMENT

The Track Changes command enables reviewers to track revisions and feedback from other users.
With the Person Card, you can easily identify who has made changes and where the changes were
made in the document. With Simple Markup as the default, changes made in a document cause
a vertical red line to appear near the left margin. When you click the red line, the view of the
markup changes to the All Markup view. If you want to see only comments in the document and
not changes, then click the Show Comments button.
To begin tracking changes, click the Track Changes button. The button is highlighted when acti-
vated. The button is a toggle, so to turn it off, click it again. Another feature in Track Changes is
Lock Tracking—this prevents anyone from turning Track Changes off. After reviewing all the
changes in the document, you can accept or reject the changes. For permanent changes, you need
to accept or reject them and turn tracking off.
There are additional choices provided on how markups appear in the document. As mentioned pre-
viously, Simple Markup is the default; the other choices are All Markup, which displays all changes
and comments; No Markup, which displays the document in a final copy without the markup; and
Original, which displays the original document with no markups.
As mentioned previously, the Show Markup menu enables you to alter the way that changes or
comments appear in the document. The markups can appear as balloons, inline, or shown only
with comments and formatting in balloons. You can modify the appearance of changes by dis-
abling any combination of comments, ink, insertions and deletions, and formatting. By default,
these are all enabled. When there are several individuals who have made changes in a document
and you want to see changes from only specific individuals, you can specify which individual’s
changes to display. Earlier in this lesson, you learned to display the Revisions pane horizontally or
vertically—this works the same way for track changes.
The Track Changes Options dialog box enables you to change the user name associated with your
revisions. Additional options are available but they are not discussed in this lesson.
In this exercise, you learn to change a user’s name, track changes, change how markups are dis-
played, print markups, lock tracking, and accept and reject changes. Figure 1-10 shows the Track-
ing and Changes groups.

MERGING DOCUMENTS
When two or more people edit separate copies of a document, you might need to combine the
documents to incorporate all the changes in a single file.
Combining Documents
Combining documents merges the changes from two separate copies of a document into a single
copy. One document is designated as the original version and the second document is the revised
version. Word starts with the original and then uses revision marks to indicate the changes that come
from the revised copy.
If the two documents define the same styles differently, such has having a different font assigned to
the Normal style, Word prompts you to decide which definition should prevail.
STEP BY STEP Combine Documents
GET READY. OPEN a new blank document.

1. On the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Compare and then click Combine. The
Combine Documents dialog box appears.
2. In the Original document section, click the folder icon to browse for the original
document. The Open combo box appears.
3. Navigate to the data files for this lesson and then choose Handbook. Click Open to

USING ADVANCED FIND AND REPLACE TECHNIQUES

Located on the Home tab in the Editing group, the Replace command opens the Find and Replace
dialog box. You can use the Replace command to replace one word or phrase with another. You can
also use the Find and Replace command to search for and replace formatting—such as a specific
font color, bolding, or italics. It is also possible to search for and replace special characters and doc-
ument elements, such as page breaks and tabs. In this exercise, you learn to search for and replace
words with a particular type of formatting and by using wildcards.

PAUSE. CLOSE the document and leave Word running for the next exercise.
MODIFYING TEMPLATES
You might find that a template needs some changes to meet your needs. Rather than making those
changes to the document every time you use it, you can choose to modify the template itself. So that
you won’t lose access to the original, it is a good idea to save the changed template with a new name.
Whenever you use one of the Microsoft-supplied templates, a copy of the template is stored in your
personal Templates folder, located by default at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\
Templates. You can modify the template files in this location to create customized versions.
In the following exercise you will make changes to an existing template.

FORMATTING TEXT WITH STYLES

Word provides predefined styles that enable you to format documents with a number of character
and paragraph attributes in a single step. You can make modifications to existing styles, or create
new styles and place them in the Styles gallery on the Home tab, in the current document, or in a
template. In this exercise, you learn to apply a style and to modify an existing style.
The Styles pane lists the same styles displayed in the Styles gallery. When you point to a style in
the list, a ScreenTip displays the style’s properties.
There are two types of styles: paragraph styles and character styles. Styles created for paragraphs
are marked in the Styles pane by a paragraph mark to the right of the style name. When you select
a paragraph style, the format is applied instantly to all text in the paragraph where the inser-
tion point is located, whether or not that text is selected.
Character styles are applied to individual characters or words that you select. In the Styles
pane, character styles have a lowercase letter a beside them.
Some styles can be used for either selected paragraphs or characters. These linked styles have a
paragraph symbol as well as a lowercase a beside them. Select the text to which you want to apply
a linked style.

browsing through the document using the Headings tab. Then, clear the checkbox to
close the Navigation Pane.
11. SAVE the document as Classes 2 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
Modifying Styles
You can make modifications to an existing style using the Modify Style dialog box. Word also
gives you several options of where to place changes made to styles, such as adding them to the
Styles gallery, applying them to the current document, or applying them to new documents based
on a template. In this exercise, you learn to use the Modify Style options to modify styles in Word.
To change an existing style, right-click the style’s name in the Style gallery or the Style pane and
then click Modify. The Modify Style dialog box appears. You can apply character attributes to
a style by clicking on the Bold button, the Italics button, and the Underline button. Similarly,
clicking the Font and Font Size drop-down arrows enables you to adjust both of these settings.
The Modify Style dialog box has options for where to place the new modified style. The modified
style can be placed in the Style gallery so you can access it quickly. Selecting the option to save
the style Only in this document affects only the current document. Selecting the option for New
documents based on this template ensures that the same style is applied in future documents. For
example, if you are writing a group research paper and would like uniformity for the paper, pro-
viding everyone in the group with a copy of the template ensures consistency in the formatting of
the paper. All styles within the document will update automatically.
STEP BY STEP Modify Styles

1. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click the dialog box launcher to display the
Styles pane.

15. Clear the Add to the Styles gallery checkbox. The modifications made apply to this
document and will not appear on the Style list.
16. Click OK. All the headings with the Heading 1 style update automatically to the new
color and size.
Creating a New Style

In the preceding exercise, you modified the Subtle Emphasis style, which is one of the built-in
styles in Word. Instead of using the built-in style, you might choose to create a brand-new style
with a name that you choose. Creating a new style is very much like modifying an existing one—
all the same formatting options apply, and the dialog boxes are virtually identical.
26 Lesson 2
You can define a new style using a dialog box, as you did in the preceding exercise, or you can
select already-formatted text to use as an example.
For ease of applying a style, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. If you choose a key combina-
tion that is already assigned to some other action, the new assignment overrides the previous one.
STEP BY STEP Create a New Character Style
1. In the Active Older Adults section, select the text low-impact. This text previously had
the Subtle Emphasis style applied to it.
2. On the Home tab, click the Increase Font Size button once to increase the font size to 12
points for the selected text.
3. On the Home tab, click the dialog box launcher in the Styles group. The Styles pane
opens.

12. In the Styles pane, right-click the Subtle Emphasis style and click Select All.
13. In the Styles pane, click the Key Term style to apply it to all the selected text.
14. Click the Close button in the upper-right corner of the Styles pane to close it.
Copying Styles Between Documents and Templates

In the preceding exercise, you created a new custom style called Key Term. That style is stored
in the document in which you created it, but it isn’t automatically accessible in other documents.
You might want to copy your custom styles to other documents or templates so that you can reuse
them there.
To copy a style, you use a feature called the Style Organizer. It enables you to view a list of the
styles in two different documents or templates and then copy them from one location to another.
In the following exercise, you will copy the Key Terms style to a template.
STEP BY STEP Use the Style Organizer to Copy Styles
1. OPEN the Class Descriptions file from the lesson folder on your flash drive.
2. Save the file as a Word Template with the name Class Descriptions Template in the
lesson folder on your flash drive.
Take Note As you save the file, when you select the Word Template file type, the location changes to your
default Templates folder. Be sure to browse to your lesson folder before you click Save.

pane.
PAUSE. CLOSE the document and leave Word open to use in the next exercise.
Resolving Style Conflicts

It is often necessary to copy or move text from one document and place it in another. When you
use the copy or cut command, the Clipboard stores the items for you to paste in another location
of the document or another Office file. When you cut text, Word removes it from the original
location and places the text in the Clipboard collection. When you copy text, Word places a du-
plicate copy in the Clipboard. The Paste command then pastes text from the Clipboard to a new
location in either the original document or a new document.
When you are working with styles, cutting or copying text and pasting it in a different document
can result in style conflicts. When you cut or copy text that has a new style to a different docu-
ment, Word copies the style along with it, as long as the style does not already exist in the desti-
nation document. However, if you have styles with the same name in both documents, and those
styles are configured differently, then cutting and pasting text with those styles creates a conflict.
By default, pasting text with a style that already exists in the destination file will cause Word to
apply the destination style’s attributes to the text. However, Word also detects that a style conflict
has occurred and displays a Paste Options (Ctrl) button.
Clicking this Ctrl button displays a menu (see Figure 2-7) in which you can select from the fol-
lowing options:
• Keep Source Formatting - Retains the style formatting from the source document
• Merge Formatting - Combines non-conflicting attributes from both source and destination
styles, favoring the destination style when there are attribute conflicts
• Keep Text Only - Pastes the raw text, without style formatting
Figure 2-7
Paste Options menu
There is also a Set Default Paste option on the menu that opens the Word Options dialog box
to the Advanced screen. There, in the Cut, copy, and paste section (see Figure 2-8), you can use
the Pasting between documents when style definitions conflict drop-down list to modify Word’s
default behavior when it detects a conflict.
Figure 2-8
Set Default Paste settings
30 Lesson 2
SETTING FONT DEFAULTS

Word makes it easy to change the font used for your text, but there are some settings you can use
to specify the fonts Word will use as the defaults in certain situations. In the following sections,
you learn how to change the application default font and the default Body and Heading fonts.
Setting the Default Application Font

When you create a new document in Word, it uses the Calibri font by default. This is the font that
Word assigns to the Body variable. In the following exercise, you will copy the Key Terms style
to a template.
STEP BY STEP Set the Default Font
GET READY. CREATE a new blank document.

1. Notice that it uses the Calibri font by default.
2. On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the dialog box launcher. The Font dialog box
appears (see Figure 2-9).
Figure 2-9
Font dialog box
3. In the Font list, select Arial.

4. In the Size list, select 12.
5. In the lower-left corner of the dialog box, click the Set as Default button. A message
box appears, asking if you want to set the selected font as the default for the current
document only, or for all documents using the Normal template.
6. Select the All documents based on the Normal template option and then click OK. The
Font dialog box closes.
Take Note When you set a new default font, Word provides the option to save it in whatever template the
document is currently using. When you create a new blank document, this is the Normal tem-
plate, but if you are currently working in a document that uses another template, the message box
enables you to save the default font setting in that template.
7. Create another new blank document. On the Home tab, notice that the font used by
default is now Arial.
PAUSE. CLOSE the two blank documents and leave Word open to use in the next exercise.
Managing Body and Heading Fonts

Instead of manually changing the font, you can instead choose to apply one of two font place-
holders: Headings or Body. Notice that, on the Home tab, when you open the Font drop-down
list, there are two fonts in the Theme Fonts section. One is followed by (Headings) and the other
is followed by (Body). In the Font dialog box, these placeholders appear at the top of the Font list
as +Headings and +Body.
Headings and Body are variables that are defined with specific fonts in the theme that the docu-
ment is currently using. The default for the Headings variable is Calibri Light, and the default for
the Body variable is Calibri.
By choosing the Headers or Body variable for the text in your documents, you enable the font to
change as needed when a different theme or style set is applied.
To modify the fonts used for the Headings and Body variables, you must change the font set used
by the document’s current theme. Word includes several preconfigured font sets, or you can create
your own. In this exercise, you create a new font set and apply it to a document.
STEP BY STEP Create a Font Set

1. On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the Font drop-down arrow. Notice that the
Theme Fonts section lists Calibri Light and Calibri as the Headings and Body fonts,
respectively.
2. On the Design tab, in the Document Formatting group, click the Fonts button. The
Fonts menu appears (see Figure 2-10).
Figure 2-10

32 Lesson 2
3. Click Customize Fonts. The Create New Theme Fonts dialog box appears (see Figure
2-11).
Figure 2-11

dialog box
4. In the Name text box, replace Custom 1 by typing New Font Set.
5. In the Heading font drop-down list, select Arial Black.
6. In the Body font drop-down list, select Arial. Notice that a preview of your font choices
appears in the Sample box.
7. Click Save to close the dialog box and apply your font choices to the document.
8. On the Design tab, click the Fonts button again. Notice that the New Font Set you
created appears in the Custom section.
9. On the Home tab, click the Font drop-down arrow. Notice that the Theme Fonts section
now lists Arial Black and Arial as the Headings and Body fonts, respectively.
PAUSE. CLOSE the two blank documents and leave Word open to use in the next exercise.
Once you create a font set, it becomes available in all of your documents using the current tem-
plate. If you select a different font set as you are working on a document, any text that is config-
ured to use the +Headings or +Body fonts will change to the fonts in the set you have selected.
CONTROLLING PAGINATION
A well-organized and formatted document captures and maintains the reader’s attention. Micro-
soft Word enables you to control how your text flows onto different pages.
Controlling Widows and Orphans

To maintain an appealing appearance and readable content, you might need to keep the first or
last line of a paragraph from appearing alone on the page. Word provides options for keeping text
lines together and avoiding single lines of text at the top or bottom of a page. By default, the Wid-
ow and Orphan control is enabled. In this exercise, you manage Word’s Widow/Orphan control.
A widow is the last line of a paragraph that appears as a single line of text at the top of a page as
Figure 2-12
A widow at the top of a page
An orphan is the first line of a paragraph that appears alone at the bottom of a page as shown in
Figure 2-13.
Figure 2-13
An orphan at the bottom of
a page
STEP BY STEP Turn on Widow/Orphan Control
GET READY. OPEN the Checking document from the data files for this lesson.
1. Scroll to the top of page 2 and notice the widow experience . . . at the top of the page.
2. On page 1 of the document, place the insertion point anywhere in the paragraph under
Preferred Checking.
3. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the dialog box launcher. The Paragraph
dialog box appears.
4. Click the Line and Page Breaks tab, as shown in Figure 2-14.

5. In the Pagination section, select the Widow/Orphan control checkbox; then click OK.
Notice that another line of the paragraph moves to the second page.
6. SAVE the document as Checking 2 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.

34 Lesson 2
Using Line Numbers

Word numbers the lines in a document automatically, but it does not display those line numbers
by default. There are certain times when you might want these numbers to be visible, such as when
several persons are collaborating on a document or when you are working on a legal document in
which line numbers are expected.
To see the line numbers in a document, you must be using the Print Layout view and you must
configure Word to display the numbers. In this exercise, you configure Word to display line num-
bers in a document.
Take Note In Word’s default line numbering, tables and figures count as one line. Text boxes count as one
line when they are positioned in line with the text on the page. If the text wraps around the text
box, only the lines of text on the page are counted. The lines inside the text box are not.
STEP BY STEP Turn on Line Numbering
1. On the Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Line Numbers button to display
a menu (see Figure 2-15). The currently selected value is None, so no line numbers
appear.
Figure 2-15

2. Click Continuous. Scroll through the document and notice that each line, including
headings and bullets, is numbered. There are a total of 65 lines in the document.
3. Open the Line Numbers menu again and select Restart Each Page. Now when you
scroll through the document, you can see that each page begins with a line numbered
1.
4. Open the Line Numbers menu again and select Line Numbering Options. The Page
Setup dialog box appears, with the Layout tab selected.
5. Click the Line Numbers button. The Line Numbers dialog box appears (see Figure 2-16).
This dialog box provides more granular control over line numbering

7. In the Count by spin box, type 10.
8. Under Numbering, select the Continuous option and then click OK.
9. Click OK to close the Page Setup dialog box. Notice that numbers now appear every
tenth line, starting with 100.
10. On the Layout tab, click the Line Numbers button and select None.
Controlling Hyphenation
Hyphenation can be an important element in the appearance of a document. Word is capable of
using hyphens to break up words between lines, giving documents a neater appearance. Without
hyphenation, text can appear uneven on the right side, because lines end at different places. In
publisher’s parlance, text that is left justified is often called rag right, because the line endings
are uneven. This is acceptable in some documents, but without hyphenation, the right side can
sometimes be too ragged.
In documents that use full justification, that is, when both the left and right sides are even, lack of
hyphenation can result in lines with large spaces between the words.
In this exercise, you learn to control the hyphenation feature in Word.
STEP BY STEP Turn on Hyphenation
1. Scroll down in the document and place your insertion point at the beginning of the
Preferred Checking section heading.
2. Press Ctrl+Enter to start the section on a new page. Notice how the first paragraph has
lines that end unevenly.
3. On the Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Hyphenation button to display
a menu (see Figure 2-17). The currently selected value is None, so there is no
hyphenation in use.
Figure 2-17
Hyphenation menu
4. Click Automatic. Notice how three words in the paragraph are now hyphenated,
resulting in much more even line endings. When you use the Automatic setting, Word
determines where in the words the hyphens should appear. There might be times when
you want a hyphen to appear in a different place in a word, so there is also a Manual
setting.
5. Click the Hyphenation button again and select None. The hyphenations disappear.
6. Click the Hyphenation button again and select Manual. A Manual Hyphenation
message box appears displaying the first word that is a candidate for hyphenation.
7. Click Yes, because the word (Checking) is only two syllables and there is no other
place for the hyphen. A message box appears, informing you that the hyphenation is
complete.
8. Click OK.
36 Lesson 2
9. Click the Hyphenation button and select Manual again. Another Manual Hyphenation
message box appears, this time containing the word personal (see Figure 2-18). This
word has three syllables, so there are two possible places where the hyphen can
appear. Word has already selected the first possibility, between the syllables per and
son. To change the selection, you would use the right arrow key to move the highlight
to the other hyphen, between the syllables son and al.
Figure 2-18
Manual Hyphenation
10. Click Yes to accept the default suggestion. The word is now hyphenated.
11. SAVE the document as Checking 3 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
PAUSE. CLOSE the document and leave Word open to use in the next exercise.
Text Box Tools in the Ribbon
Before you begin working with text boxes, it is a good idea to become familiar with the tools
available in the Ribbon. When you insert a text box, the Drawing Tools - Format tab appears in
the Ribbon, as shown in Figure 2-19.
Figure 2-19
The Drawing Tools - Format tab
The Drawing Tools - Format tab provides commands for editing text boxes. Use this figure as a
reference throughout this lesson as well as the rest of this book.
USING TEXT BOXES

A text box is a formatted box in which you can insert and position text and/or graphic objects.
You can use text boxes for a variety of purposes. Most often, they are used to insert text within
other document text or to lay out text for specific emphasis or visual interest.
A pull quote is a small selection of text that is pulled out or quoted from a larger selection of text.
It is displayed within a box on the page that is formatted for emphasis, and it is often used along
with drop caps in newsletters, advertisements, and magazines.
After you insert a text box, you can format the box using the controls on the Drawing Tools -
Format tab.
Inserting a Text Box

Word provides a gallery of built-in text boxes with pull quotes and sidebars that you can insert in a
document. When you need a different kind of text box, you can draw and insert your own empty,
unformatted text box. When drawing a text box, the Layout Options provide the ability to wrap
text around the object. In this exercise, you insert a preformatted text box and draw a text box.

38 Lesson 2
Creating a Text Box Layout

A text box layout provides maximum flexibility because you can make text appear anywhere on
the page. Just place a text box where you want it. To help with placement, you might find it useful
to turn on the Gridlines feature, found on the View tab. This places a non-printing grid in the area
defined by the document’s Margin settings.
To make text flow from one text box to another, use the Create Link button on the Drawing Tools
- Format tab. This makes it possible to flow text not only between columns, but between pages.
For example, you can continue a story on another non-contiguous page of a publication.
STEP BY STEP Create a Text Box Layout with Linked Text Boxes
GET READY. OPEN the Layout document from the data files for this lesson.

4. Click in the text box on the left to select it.

5. Drag the text box’s bottom selection handle upward, decreasing the size of the text box
until it is even with the bottom of the new text box you created. Some of its text is now
hidden from view, because there is no room to display all of the text.
6. On the Drawing Tools - Format tab, in the Text group, click Create Link.
7. Move the mouse pointer over the new text box. The mouse pointer appears as a pitcher
pouring liquid.
8. Click in the new text box. The text flows from the left text box to the right one, as

group, click the 100% button.
10. SAVE the document as Box Layout in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
PAUSE. CLOSE the file and leave Word open for the next exercise.
CREATING A TABLE OF CONTENTS

When working on a research paper or other long document, adding a table of contents can make
it easy for the reader to locate a section of your paper quickly. The table of contents makes it easy
to jump from one location in your document to another. Word automatically creates links for you,
and, should you decide to present the paper online, the links will be in your document.
A table of contents is usually found at the beginning of a long document to help readers quickly
locate topics of interest. A table of contents (TOC) is an ordered list of the headings in a
document, along with the page numbers on which the headings are found. The table of contents
typically follows the title page.
Creating a Table of Contents

Word makes inserting a table of contents easy by providing a built-in gallery of styles on the Table
of Contents menu. You can use one of the styles from the built-in gallery or manually format a
table of contents. Your document must contain heading styles for Word to automatically build a
Table of Contents. Word will construct your Table of Contents based on any heading style in the
document. For example, if you use Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 styles in your document
and then generate a table of contents, Word automatically knows which heading style you are
using. In this exercise, you learn to create a table of contents.
40 Lesson 2
STEP BY STEP Create a Table of Contents
GET READY. OPEN the First Ladies document from the data files for this lesson.
1. Position the insertion point at the beginning of the document.
2. On the Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Breaks and, in the Section Breaks
section, select Next Page. Then, move the insertion point to the top of the first page.
By inserting a section break, you separate the Table of Contents from the rest of the
document, because you may need to insert page numbers differently.
3. Press Enter twice to create a blank line above the section break and then place the
insertion point on the top line.
4. On the References tab, in the Table of Contents group, click the Table of Contents
button. A menu appears, containing a gallery of built-in styles.
5. Select the Automatic Table 2 style. The table of contents is inserted in the document.
Each entry is linked to a heading in the document and has a ScreenTip instructing
you to Ctrl+Click to advance to that heading. This particular Table of Contents style
contains headings and right tab settings with dot leaders. The page numbers are
automatically inserted for each heading. When you select the table, the Table of
Contents tab appears at the top, enabling you to select the table, change the format,
and update its contents (see Figure 2-23).

7. SAVE your document as First Ladies 2 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
Customizing a Table of Contents

The Table of Contents dialog box has other formatting options, including whether to show page
numbers or right-align page numbers. You can also specify tab leaders, which are the symbols
that appear between the table of contents topic and the corresponding page number. In this lesson,
you learn to format a table of contents by changing the alignment tab leaders and levels.
STEP BY STEP Format a Table of Contents
1. Select the table of contents you created and then on the References tab, in the Table of
Contents group, click the Table of Contents button.
2. Select Custom Table of Contents from the menu. The Table of Contents dialog box
appears (see Figure 2-24). The Print Preview box shows the style used to create the
printed table of contents. The Web Preview box displays the same content using
hyperlinks instead of page numbers. Using the controls in the Table of Contents dialog
box, you can specify whether to show page numbers and whether to right-align those
page numbers. Tab leaders are symbols that serve as a visual guide connecting the
headings to the page numbers. These can appear as periods, hyphens, lines, or nothing
at all. You can also change the format of the Table of Contents to display multiple
heading levels.

13. SAVE the document as First Ladies 3 in the lesson folder on your flash drive and then
CLOSE the file.
Creating a Table of Figures

Some documents sequentially number and caption figures. If you like, you can create a table of
figures to summarize them. A table of figures is like a table of contents except that it lists each
figure number, caption, and the page number on which it appears, rather than each text heading
in the document.
STEP BY STEP Create a Table of Figures
GET READY. OPEN the First Ladies with Figures document from the data files for this

ADDING CAPTIONS
Word can automatically add captions to your document when you have tables, figures, or other
objects, or you can manually add captions.
Adding Captions
A caption is a line of text that describes an object, which can appear above or below the object
it describes. As you work on a document, you might decide to add a table and insert pictures.
Adding a caption below or above the table would be informative to anyone who reads your report.
As you continue working with captions, you also learn that you can use captions for figures and
equations. In this exercise, you learn to add a caption to a figure, a table, and an equation.
STEP BY STEP Add Captions to a Table

9. SAVE the document as First Ladies 5 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
PAUSE. CLOSE the file and LEAVE Word open for another exercise.
Adding Captions to an Equation

The same method for adding captions to tables and figures applies to equations as well; you sim-
ply select a different item in the Label list—or create a new label. If you are writing a paper that
contains equations, you can add a description for each one. When you reopen the Caption dialog
box, the label and numbering format you previously selected appear along with the next sequential
number. For example, if you inserted the caption “Figure 1,” the next time you open the Caption
dialog box in that document, “Figure 2” appears. In this exercise, you learn to add a caption, re-
position it, and change the numbering format.
STEP BY STEP Add Captions to an Equation

1. Press Enter to create a blank line.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Symbols group, click the drop-down arrow next to the
Equation button to display the menu (see Figure 2-28).

field results. To see the field results, press Alt+F9.
GLOBAL AND ACCESSIBLE DOCUMENTS

When you are creating documents for readers who are disabled or who are non-native speakers of
English, there are additional factors to consider. Word includes tools you can use to accommodate
the specific needs of these readers.
Configuring Language Options

Word bases its default language settings on the language that the Windows operating system is
configured to use. If you have configured Windows with multiple language options, then the cur-
rently selected language will be in use when you open Word.
Therefore, if you are going to work extensively in a language other than English, it might be a good
idea to use the Windows language settings to configure the environment for your entire computer.
However, if you use Word to create documents that contain text in multiple languages, you can
add those languages to your editing environment. This enables Word to detect text in the addi-
tional languages and proofread them using spelling and grammar dictionaries for those languages.
You can also configure Word to use a specific language for its interface buttons and tabs, and for
its help screens, rather than match the designated Windows language.
In this exercise, you add an editing language and use it to proofread text.
STEP BY STEP Add an Editing Language

1. On the Review tab, in the Language group, click the Language drop-down list and
select Language Preferences. The Word Options dialog box appears, displaying the
Language page (see Figure 2-30).
Figure 2-30
Language page of the Word
Options dialog box
2. In the Choose Editing Languages section, in the Add additional editing languages drop-
down list, select French (France) and then click Add. French (France) appears in the list
of editing languages.
3. Click OK. A message box appears, prompting you to restart Office so that the language
changes can take effect.
4. CLOSE the current document without saving it.
5. CLOSE Word and any other Office applications that are running...
6. Restart Word and open the English French file from the lesson folder on your flash
drive.
7. Place your insertion point anywhere in the first paragraph.
select Set Proofing Language. The Language dialog box appears. Notice that the
English (United States) language is highlighted.
9. Click Cancel.
10. Place your insertion point anywhere in the second paragraph.
select Set Proofing Language again. The Language dialog box appears (see Figure
2-31). Notice that, for this paragraph, the French (France) language is highlighted. Word
has automatically recognized that the second paragraph is in French.
48 Lesson 2
Figure 2-31
Language dialog box
12. Click Cancel.

13. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the document and then click the Spelling &
Grammar button. The Spelling pane appears.
14. Click through the spelling errors in the document and accept the suggested
corrections. Notice that, for the errors in the second paragraph, Word suggests French
words, such as producteur and d’autres.
15. SAVE the document as English French 2 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
PAUSE. CLOSE the file and LEAVE Word open for another exercise.
Adding Alternative Text

Alternative text is a useful interpretation tool for tables, diagrams, images, and other objects.
Alternative text is also used by web browsers—when you hover over the object, text appears de-
scribing the object. The title and description that is added can be read to the individual with a
disability. In this exercise, you learn to add alternative text to a table.
STEP BY STEP Add Alternative Text to a Table

Utilizing Global Content Standards

When the target audience for your documents is international, there are certain steps you should
take to make sure that they are easily understood.
• Simplify your syntax: Keep sentences relatively short, use the active voice, and avoid idiomatic
and colloquial phrases. Common English phrases like “in a nutshell” and “on the same page”
might not be understood by non-native English speakers, even when translated.
• Break down complicated information: Use tables and bulleted lists, rather than paragraphs,
wherever possible. Globalize your time and date references - Use 24-hour time references, such
as 15:00 rather than 3:00 PM. Be sure to specify the time zone. For dates, spell out month
names instead of using numbers. In some places, 2/9/16 refers to February 9, but in other plac-
es, it is September 2.
• Use standard fonts: Fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier are available on
computer systems and browsers worldwide. Using obscure fonts can produce unpredictable
results when other computers substitute for them.
• Avoid technical jargon: The use of technical terminology might be required in certain doc-
uments, but in situations where the terms are not essential to the meaning, try to use more
familiar words or phrases.
• Globalize examples: If your documents use the names of people and places as examples, con-
sider using a mixture of names from other countries.

PROTECTING AND SHARING DOCUMENTS
Protecting a Document
There might be a time when you need to set a password for sensitive documents. These documents
can include payroll, budgets, employee evaluations, or hiring agreements. There are two different
options for protecting a document: Save As Tools and Restrict Editing. Documents such as these
are meant for certain individuals who have been granted permission; all others are denied access.
Those granted access to confidential documents are provided a password to open and modify the
document.
When you save a document, you can save it with a password that enables users to open the doc-
ument as read only. Individuals who receive the document can read the document, but they can-
not modify it. If you want certain individuals to be able to edit the document, then a different
password is needed for them to open the file in read/write mode. Managing documents with
passwords helps you oversee sensitive tasks while maintaining security for the documents. You
can also restrict the type of editing that users can perform in a document by using the Restrict
Editing command.
Setting an Access Password for a Document

One way to secure confidential material, is to protect a document with read only and read/write
passwords. In this exercise, you learn to set and remove encrypted passwords for a document
containing an evaluation form.
STEP BY STEP Set an Access Password for a Document
GET READY. OPEN the Peer Review document from the lesson folder.
1. SAVE the document as Peer Review Draft in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
2. Click the File tab and then click Save As.
3. On the Save As screen, click This PC and then click Browse. The Save As dialog box
appears.
4. In the Save As dialog box, click the Tools drop-down arrow.
5. Select General Options from the context menu. The General Options dialog box
6. In the Password to open text box, type Pa$$w0rd. Once you enter a password to open
and/or modify the document, the file will be encrypted. When a file is encrypted, the
data is converted to a code.
Figure 3-2
General Options dialog box
Protecting and Sharing Documents 55
7. Word enables you to specify two different passwords—one to open a document and
one to modify a document—and both are optional. You can specify passwords for
both actions—or just specify a different password for each action. Passwords are
case-sensitive, which means you can specify upper and/or lowercase letters. For this
exercise, use the same password to open and modify the document. In the Password to
modify text box, type Pa$$w0rd.
8. Click OK. The Confirm Password message box appears.
9. In the Reenter password to open text box, type Pa$$w0rd and then click OK.
10. Another Confirm Password message box appears, this time for the modify password.
11. In the Reenter password to modify text box, type Pa$$w0rd and then click OK.
12. In the Save As dialog box, click Save and CLOSE the file.
13. Open the Peer Review Draft file again. A Password message box appears, prompting
you to enter a password to open the document (see Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3
Password prompt to open a
protected document
14. Type Pa$$w0rd in the text box and then click OK. The Password message box appears
again.
15. Type Pa$$w0rd in the text box and then click OK. The document opens.
STEP BY STEP Remove a Password
GET READY. USE the Peer Review Draft document that is open from the previous exercise.
16. Click the File tab and notice that the Protect Document button is highlighted in a light
yellow color. Under Protect Document, it states, “A password is required to open this
document.”
17. Select Save As and then click the Browse button to open the Save As dialog box.
18. Click the Tools drop-down arrow and then select General Options from the menu.
19. Remove the password protection by selecting each of the hidden passwords in turn
and then pressing Delete.
20. Click OK.
21. SAVE the document as Peer Review 1 in your flash drive in the lesson folder.
22. You now have two copies of the same document: one with a password and one
without.
Take Note It is important for you to remember the password you use to protect your documents. If you for-
get the password, Microsoft cannot retrieve it for you. Record and store your passwords in a safe
location, such as a security safe or a secure place at home. Use strong passwords that combine up-
percase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords do not mix these elements.
An example of a strong password is W5!dk8aG; a weak password is CAR381. Passwords should be
8 or more characters in length. A password phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better.
56 Lesson 3
Protecting a Document as Read Only

Safeguarding your documents is one way to protect them from individuals seeking to change the
content and format. As you learned, you can encrypt a document with passwords that provide
read only or read/write access to the document. Another way to protect a document is to restrict
editing. This enables users to open the document without a password, but the types of changes
they can make to the document are limited.
For example, you might want to limit formatting changes to specific styles, or you might want
users restricted to adding comments only, filling in forms, or making changes that are tracked.
It’s your choice as to whom you share the document with and what type of restrictions you put in
place. In this exercise, you learn to set a document as read only, limit the document to comments
only, and restrict formatting in the document.
STEP BY STEP Protect a Document as Read Only
GET READY. USE the Peer Review 1 document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. OPEN Backstage and then click Protect Document to display the context menu (see
Figure 3-4).
Figure 3-4
Protect Document menu
2. Click Restrict Editing. The Restrict Editing pane appears on the right side of the screen
(see Figure 3-5). The pane contains three numbered items, as follows:
• Formatting restrictions: Enables you to specify what type of formatting changes are
permitted.
• Editing restrictions: Enables you to specify what type of editing changes are permitted.
• Start enforcement: Enables you to apply the settings you have created in the first two items.
Figure 3-5
Restrict Editing pane
3. Under Editing restrictions, select the Allow only this type of editing in the document
checkbox. By default, No changes (Read only) is selected as the first option and the
Exceptions (optional) heading appears.
4. Under Start Enforcement, click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection. The Start Enforcing
Protection dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6
Start Enforcing Protection
dialog box
Take Note If your computer is set up to use Information Rights Management (IRM) by your administrator,
the Start Enforcing Protection dialog box contains two options. The Password option shows that
by adding a password, the document will not be encrypted. The User authentication option adds
encryption to the document, with the restricted access preventing sensitive documents from being
printed, forwarded, or copied.
5. Type Pa$$w0rd in the Enter new password box and the Reenter password to confirm
box. Click OK. The Start Enforcing Protection button turns on the specified restriction,
in this case making the document Read only. The document is now protected from any
editing and you can view only this region. A region is the location in the document
that you are allowed to edit. The Restrict Editing pane displays two available options:
Find Next Region I Can Edit and Show All Regions I Can Edit. These display the areas in
your document that you have been granted permission to edit.
6. Click the Find Next Region I Can Edit button and notice that Word states that it has
finished searching the document—there were no regions highlighted. Click OK.
7. Click the Show All Regions I Can Edit button and no regions are highlighted. This is a
read only document, so no editing is allowed.
8. Click the Stop Protection button at the bottom of the pane. An Unprotect Document
dialog box appears.
9. In the Password text box, type Pa$$w0rd and then click OK.

Background 1 and bold.
16. Leave the document open for ten minutes. Later in this lesson, you learn about
managing document versions.
17. Minimize the document to place it on the taskbar. You will use this document later in
this lesson.
Take Note You can restrict comment creation to a whole document or you can select portions of the docu-
ment in which editing changes are allowed.
STEP BY STEP Mark a Document as Final
GET READY. OPEN the Review Form document from the lesson folder.
1. SAVE the document as Review Form 1 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
2. Click the File tab, click Protect Document, and then click Mark as Final. A dialog box
appears indicating that this document will be marked as final and then saved.
3. Click OK. A Microsoft Word message box appears. Marking a document as final
prevents recipients from making changes to the document—the document becomes
read only, as displayed on the title bar. When a document is marked as final, the status
property is set to Marked as Final and typing, editing commands, and proofing marks
are turned off.
4. Click OK. The document is Marked as Final and displays in the Protect Document
section highlighted in a light yellow color to discourage editing.
5. Return to the document and notice the yellow bar below the Ribbon indicating that An
author has marked this document as final to discourage editing. Notice also that the
Marked as Final icon appears on the status bar.
6. Click any of the tabs on the Ribbon and notice that the controls are greyed out,
indicating that the commands are not available.
7. Select the title of the document and try to delete it. When a document is marked
as final, typing, editing commands, and proofing marks are disabled, because the
document becomes a read-only document. Notice that the title bar also shows the
document as Read-Only.
8. Click the File tab, click the Protect Document button, select Mark as Final to return the
document to its original status, and then return to the document.
9. Select the B in Blue Yonder Airlines and then press the Delete key. You can now make
changes to the document.

11. SAVE the document with the same filename in the lesson folder on your flash drive.

60 Lesson 3
Take Note Documents that have been marked as final in a Microsoft Office 2016 program will not be read
only if they are opened in versions of Microsoft Office programs prior to 2013. It is important
to recognize that the Mark as Final command is not a security feature—anyone who receives an
electronic copy of a document that has been marked as final can edit that document by removing
the Mark as Final status from the document.
Applying Protection Using the Ribbon

Encryption protects a document so that it cannot be opened without a password.
STEP BY STEP Encrypt a Document
GET READY. USE the Review Form 1 document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. Go to Backstage, click the Protect Document button, and then select Encrypt with
Password.
2. The Encrypt Document dialog box appears (see Figure 3-8). Encrypting protects the
document by making it unreadable, using a code that is only reversible using the
password you specify.
Figure 3-8
Encrypt Document dialog box
3. In the Encrypt the contents of this file text box, type Pa$$w0rd and then click OK.
4. Retype the password and then click OK. Notice that Protect Document is highlighted
and indicates that a password is required to open this document.
5. CLOSE the document.
6. Click Save when prompted.
7. REOPEN the document by typing Pa$$w0rd when you are prompted to do so.
Take Note To unprotect the document, you must already be inside the document (with the correct password).
From within the document, click the File tab, click the Protect Document button, select Encrypt
with Password, delete the password from the dialog box, and then click Save.
8. SAVE the document as Review Form 2 in the lesson folder on your flash drive and then
CLOSE the file.

MANAGING DOCUMENT VERSIONS

Microsoft has simplified the tasks of retrieving a document by versions or recovering an unsaved
file. Have you accidently deleted your whole document or turned off your computer before sav-
ing? Word can help you retrieve your document by using the managed versions. You can manage
document versions in Backstage by using the Info command and then selecting which version to
save. Word also provides the ability to recover unsaved documents by automatically saving them
every ten minutes by default. You will be able to recover versions of your document as long as you
haven’t closed your document or program. Also, if the Word program stops working for some
reason, then you will be able to recover your document, but you will not see your previous versions
until you save the document. Under Manage Document, you can also browse for unsaved files.
In this exercise, you manage a document’s versions with an existing file and a new file and recover
an unsaved version.
Managing Document Versions

The AutoRecovery command provides flexibility in saving your Word documents, including mak-
ing more frequent backups. In this exercise, you will learn how to change the default Save settings
from 10 minutes to 3 minutes.
STEP BY STEP Manage Document Versions
GET READY. On the taskbar, CLICK the Peer Review 4 document to make it the active
document. Remember, you minimized this document previously in this lesson. The
document should have been left open for 10 or more minutes.
1. Click File to go to Backstage view. On the Info screen, under Manage Document, you
should see the times the document was saved.
2. Click Close without saving and keep Word open. Closing the Word program would
cause you to lose your versions of the Peer Review 4 document
3. OPEN the Peer Review 4 document from your flash drive in the lesson folder.
4. Go to the Backstage Info screen (see Figure 3-9). Notice that Manage Document shows
when the document was last saved.

7. By default, the Save AutoRecover information every setting is 10 minutes. Also, the
Keep the last autosaved version if I close without saving checkbox is selected. In step
3, you closed the document without saving and when you reopened and reviewed the
Managed Document, it showed when the document was last saved using Autosave.
8. In the Save documents section, change the default 10 minutes to 3 minutes.
9. Click OK.
10. Create a new blank document and then type Working with unsaved documents can be
found in Backstage on the Info screen.
11. Keep this document open for 10 minutes.
12. On the View tab, click Switch Windows and then select the Peer Review 4 document.
13. Return to Backstage and under Manage Document, you should see at least one or two
versions of the document saved.
14. SAVE the document as Peer Review 5 in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
Take Note Clicking the down arrow key in Manage Document enables you to Recover Unsaved Documents;
the Open dialog box opens files specifically from the location where unsaved files are saved.
Restoring an Earlier Version of Your Document

The Save AutoRecover feature in Word 2016 saves documents automatically by time, displaying
them as Today (current date). In the previous exercise, you changed the Save AutoRecover setting
from the default of 10 minutes to 3 minutes. As you modify your document, AutoRecover saves
changes every 3 minutes. Word saves the updates in different versions , which you can locate in Back-
stage under Manage Document. In this exercise, you restore an earlier version of your document.
STEP BY STEP Restore an Earlier Version of Your Document
1. Select the Blue Yonder Airlines heading.
2. Change the font color to Dark Blue, Text 2.
3. Increase the font size to 28 pt.
4. Where Jill A. Williams’ name appears, replace the middle initial A. with E.
5. Change the review period date from Dec 20XX to April 20XX. You have to modify the
document for Save AutoRecover to save the updated changes.
6. Go to Backstage and under Manage Document, click a version that indicates (autosave).
A new window appears, showing a bar below the Ribbon that says Autosaved
Version—A newer version is available (see Figure 3-11). When you click the Compare
button, a summary appears that compares the original document and the revised
document. The Restore button prompts you to overwrite your previous document.
Figure 3-11
Autosaved Version
7. Click Restore to overwrite your previous document. A message box appears,

prompting you to confirm that you want to overwrite the last saved version with the
selected version.
8. Click OK.
Recovering Unsaved Documents

As you continue working on documents, you can browse or recover unsaved files through Man-
age Document in Backstage. You can also open a document based on the time or the last version
within that session. In this exercise, you recover an unsaved document.
64 Lesson 3
STEP BY STEP Recover Unsaved Documents
Previously, you typed Working with unsaved documents can be found in Backstage in the
Info screen in a new document and you changed the Save AutoRecover information from
the default 10 minutes to 3 minutes.
GET READY. CLOSE the document that you typed. A prompt to save your document
appears. The prompt states, If you click “Don’t Save,” a recent copy of this file will be
temporarily available.
1. Click Don’t Save.
2. Click the File tab and then click Open.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and then click Recover Unsaved Documents.
An Open dialog box appears (see Figure 3-12).
Figure 3-12

4. Locate your file based on the date and time you closed the document or program or
locate Working with unsaved documents can be . . .. You closed the document without
saving it with a filename; therefore, the name will show the first part of the text that
you typed. Word places unsaved documents in a temporary location on your hard drive
and gives them an ASD file extension.
5. Select the unsaved document and then click Open. The document opens with
the Recovered Unsaved File prompt appearing below the ribbon, stating This is a
recovered file that is temporarily stored on your computer.
6. Click Save As.
7. SAVE the document as Unsaved Document in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
STEP BY STEP Delete All Draft Versions
GET READY. USE the Unsaved Document document that is open from the previous
exercise.

Documents. An Open dialog box appears, displaying the contents of the UnsavedFiles
folder.
2. Right-click the Working with unsaved documents can be . . . file and, on the context
menu, select Delete.
3. Select Cancel to close the Open dialog box.
4. CLOSE the Unsaved Document file.
Take Note Word stores unsaved documents in a specific location on your hard drive, with a file extension of
ASD. The files located in the UnsavedFiles folder are temporary files until you save them with a
new file name.
SHARING DOCUMENTS
Many of the documents created in a business environment will need to be shared with others.
Before you share a document, it is important to ensure that the document has a professional
appearance. Microsoft Word 2016 has three tools to help you with this: Document Inspector,
Accessibility Checker, and Compatibility Checker. In addition, Word 2016 makes it easy for you
to share your documents with colleagues, clients, and others using several formats.
Using the Document Inspector

Word contains a feature that removes unwanted information from your document’s properties.
The Document Inspector can find and remove hidden data and personal information in Word
2016 documents, as well as earlier versions. It is a good idea to inspect a document before sharing
an electronic copy, such as an e-mail attachment. In this exercise, you inspect a document and
remove personal information.
STEP BY STEP Use the Document Inspector

1. OPEN the Employment Offer Letter document from your lesson folder. Notice that the
document opened in Compatibility Mode. Keep this in mind for later.
2. OPEN Backstage, click the Check for Issues button, and then click Inspect Document.
The Document Inspector dialog box appears (see Figure 3-13). This command checks
for hidden properties and personal information.
Figure 3-13
Document Inspector dialog
box
3. Click the Inspect button. Word inspects the document and displays the results in the
Document Inspector window. Three warnings appear in the Document Inspector, two
of which are shown in Figure 3-14.
66 Lesson 3
Figure 3-14
Document Inspector results
4. In the Document Properties and Personal Information section, click Remove All.
Word removes personal information from the document properties and prepares the
document to be shared.
5. Make no changes to the Task Pane Add-ins and Headers, Footers, and Watermarks
sections.
6. Click Close.
7. In the Inspect Document section, click the Allow this information to be saved in your
file link.
8. SAVE the document as Employment Offer Letter 1 in the lesson folder on your flash
drive. A Microsoft Word prompt appears, stating Your document will be upgraded to
the newest file format. Click OK.
Checking Accessibility
The Accessibility Checker determines whether there are potential errors in your document and
alerts you that the content might be difficult for an individual with a disability to read. Accessi-
bility is defined as being accessible to those with disabilities. Before sharing your document, it is
important to perform an accessibility inspection, in case someone with a disability opens the doc-
ument. In this exercise, you learn to check whether there are accessibility issues in your document.
STEP BY STEP Use the Accessibility Checker
GET READY. USE the Employment Offer Letter 1 document that is open from the previous
exercise.
1. OPEN Backstage, click the Check for Issues button, and then click Check Accessibility.
The Accessibility Checker pane appears, as shown in Figure 3-15. If there are errors in
your document, the Accessibility Check shows issues, warnings, or tips. In this case, a
warning appears, specifying Objects Not Inline.
2. Return to Backstage. A bullet below Inspect Document indicates that the document
contains Content that people with disabilities find difficult to read.
3. Return to the document.
Figure 3-15
Accessibility Checker pane
4. In the Accessibility Checker pane, select Text Box 1. A text box appears in the
document with Blue Yonder Airlines in the background in very light text. Individuals
with a disability could find this difficult to read.
5. With the text box selected, change the font color to Green, Accent 1, Darker 50%.
6. Now that the color is changed on the heading, return to Backstage. The same warning
appears because the object is not inline with text and a person with a disability might
still experience problems reading it.
7. Return to the document. Select Text Box 1 and then press Delete.
8. Notice that the Accessibility Checker pane now displays No accessibility issues found.
9. CLOSE the Accessibility Checker pane.
10. SAVE the document as Employment Offer Letter 2 in the lesson folder on your flash
drive.
When creating a document that may be read by people who use accessibility tools on their com-
puters, such as narration for the blind, there are some additional ways you can make the document
easier for them:
• If the document has multiple columns, make sure there is a substantial gap of white space
between each column.
• In tables, make sure the structure makes sense when read from left to right, row by row.
• Set text descriptions (alt text) for each image.
• Make sure any hyperlinks have short text descriptions.
• Do not rely on your font, font size, and color choices being displayed correctly, particularly
when viewed on multiple devices and platforms.
• Make sure text color and its background contrast sharply, even in grayscale.
• Do not use text smaller than 10 points.
68 Lesson 3
Checking Compatibility
Before sharing documents, it is good practice to check whether the document is error free and
the formatting appears professional. It is also important to make sure other people will be able
to open and read the document. Word’s built-in Check Compatibility tool ensures that a docu-
ment’s features are compatible with other versions of Word. The Compatibility Checker searches
a document for features that are not supported by earlier versions of Word and lists a summary of
these features. When documents are saved in an earlier version and you open them in the latest
version of Word, the filename appears in the title bar as filename.docx (Compatibility Mode). It is
recommended that you run the Compatibility Checker to identify the features that are supported.
For example, if you created a document that contained predefined horizontal lines and saved it in
Word 2007, Word 2016 highlights this in the Microsoft Word Compatibility Checker dialog box.
In this exercise, you learn to check for issues in a document.
STEP BY STEP Use the Compatibility Checker
GET READY. USE the Employment Offer Letter 2 document that is open from the previous
exercise. When documents are created in an earlier version of Word and opened in newer
versions of Word, they open in Compatibility Mode and display in the title bar. Previously,
you opened the Employment Offer Letter and it opened in Compatibility Mode. Even
though you no longer see Compatibility Mode on the title bar, this document still contains
features from an older version that are no longer supported by the latest version of Word.
It is recommended that you run the Compatibility Checker to identify features that are
supported in older versions
1. Go to Backstage, click Check for Issues, and then click Check Compatibility. The
Microsoft Word Compatibility Checker dialog box appears, is displayed as in Figure
3-16. The Compatibility Checker displays the message: The following features in this

80 Lesson 4
Take Note Document formatting is the same throughout all Office programs, and documents can share the
same appearance.
FORMATTING A DOCUMENT USING STYLE SETS

Word 2016 has a group called Document Formatting on the Design tab. The Document Format-
ting group contains many different Style Sets that change the appearance of the entire document.
Applying a Style Set to a Document

Using the Style Gallery on the Home tab, you can apply styles to text. In this section, you apply
Style Sets that affect the whole document. These Style Sets are predefined collections of styles
with fonts and paragraph spacing defined. You have the option to reset the document back to its
default or save a new Style Set. In this exercise, you learn to apply a Style Set.
Style Sets work with +Body and +Headings fonts. Each document has default heading and body
fonts that are automatically assigned to the built-in styles, such as Heading 1 and Normal. If you
use those built-in styles to format your document, you can change the fonts used in the document
by either applying a different theme or theme fonts or by applying a different Style Set.
You can define your own Style Sets. To do so, format the document the way you want it, including
your choice of heading and body fonts (from the Fonts drop-down list on the Design tab) and your
choice of paragraph indentation and spacing settings for the built-in styles (Normal, Heading 1,
Heading 2, and so on). Next, open the Style Set gallery on the Design tab and then click Save as
a New Style Set. Style Sets are saved as a template in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\
Microsoft\QuickStyles folder. After you save a Style Set, it appears in a Custom section in the
Style Sets gallery.
STEP BY STEP Create a Style Set
1. On the Design tab, in the Document Formatting group, click the Fonts button to display
the Fonts menu.
2. Right-click the Corporate Fonts [your initials] set you created earlier in this lesson and,
from the context menu, select Edit. The Edit Theme Fonts dialog box appears.
3. In the Heading Font drop-down list, select Arial Black and then click Save.
4. In the Style Set gallery, click the More button. The Style Set menu appears (see Figure
4-8).
Figure 4-8
Style Set menu
5. Click Save as a new style set. The Save as a New Style Set dialog box appears.
6. In the File name text box, type Corporate Style Set [your initials] and then click Save.
7. Click the More button again and note how the style set you created now appears in the
Custom section.
8. SAVE the document as Hosting Term 5 in your flash drive in the lesson folder.
STEP BY STEP Apply a Style Set to a Document
1. On the Design tab, in the Document Formatting group, click a few of the built-in Style
Sets in the gallery and watch how the appearance of the document changes.
Take Note Before you can apply Style Sets, the document must contain styles.
2. Click the More button and then select Lines (Distinctive) as shown in Figure 4-9.
Figure 4-9
Document with the Lines
(Distinctive) style set
3. SAVE the document as Hosting Term 6 in your flash drive in the lesson folder and then
CLOSE the file.
Troubleshooting If you apply a different Style Set, as in the preceding exercise, but the document’s fonts do not
change, it is because the text has been formatted to use a specific font. You can strip off any
manual formatting by selecting the text and then pressing Ctrl+Spacebar. Make sure the style
applied to the paragraph(s) does not define a specific font.
FORMATTING A DOCUMENT BACKGROUND

Word’s enhanced features enable users to produce creatively formatted documents by changing
the background color, inserting a watermark, and adding a border to the document. In this sec-
tion, you learn how to add a background color and insert and remove a watermark.
Inserting a Page Color

Adding a background color to the title page of a report conveys originality. For example, you
might want to distinguish your research paper from others by adding a background color to the
first page. It is important to use background colors in moderation and to choose a page color that
82 Lesson 4
will not interfere with the text. If text is dark, for example, the background color should be light.
If text is light, a dark background improves the document’s readability. Word also lets you add
interesting Fill Effects for the Page Background, such as gradients, textures, patterns, and pictures.
In this exercise, you learn to insert a page color in a document.
STEP BY STEP Insert a Page Color
1. On the Design tab, in the Page Background group, click the Page Color button to open
the color menu and gallery, as shown in Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10
Page Color menu
2. Click to select White, Background 1, Darker 5%. The color is applied to the page.
3. SAVE the document as Hosting Term 7 in your flash drive in the lesson folder and
then CLOSE the document.
Inserting a Watermark
In business, some documents might contain sensitive information, and the nature of a document’s
status should be clearly conveyed on its pages. Word provides built-in text called watermarks
that display lightly behind text as words, such as confidential, draft, or urgent. You can customize
watermarks to include text or images, including company logos. In this exercise, you learn to in-
sert a watermark using text, an image, and a custom watermark.
STEP BY STEP Insert a Watermark
GET READY. OPEN Hosting Term 6 from the data files for this lesson.
1. On the Design tab, in the Page Background group, click the Watermark menu and then
select Confidential 1. The watermark appears behind the text and is semitransparent.

STEP BY STEP Insert a Custom Watermark
1. Click the Watermark menu and then select Custom Watermark. The Printed Watermark
dialog box appears.
2. Select the Text watermark option and then in the Text drop-down list, select Draft. You
can customize text watermarks by typing content in the text box or you can select from
the drop-down menu.
3. In the Font drop-down list, select Franklin Gothic Book. This changes the text
watermark font.
4. In the Color menu, select Dark Red in the Standard Colors box (see Figure 4-11).

buttons for working with long documents and arranging the document into smaller sections. The
Outlining tab is shown in Figure 4-12.
Figure 4-12
Outlining tab
Use this figure as a reference throughout this lesson as well as the rest of this book.
WORKING WITH OUTLINES AND MASTER DOCUMENTS

When working with large, complex documents, it is useful to create an outline so that you can
understand the big picture of the document’s organization. As you are planning a new document,
you can use Word’s Outline tools to plan the overall structure. You can also use master documents
and subdocuments to integrate content from multiple separate Word documents into a single
linked project.
Creating an Outline
When you create an outline for a document, you list the headings that the document is going
to contain. You can then go back into the document later and fill in the body text under those
headings.
Outlining a document consists of assigning heading levels to paragraphs (Level 1, Level 2, and so
on) to represent their relative positions in the document hierarchy. One way to do this is to assign
heading styles to the paragraphs that correspond to those outline levels, like Heading 1, Heading
2, and so on. However, there is an easier way. When you switch to Outline view, you can use the
Outlining tab and the Tab and Shift+Tab keyboard shortcuts to quickly assign an outline level
and a heading style.
In the following exercise, you will create a new outline.

STEP BY STEP Create an Outline

1. On the View tab, in the Views group, click Outline. Word switches to Outline view and
the Outlining tab appears on the Ribbon.
2. Type Chapter 1: The Journey Begins and then press Enter. Because this paragraph is at
Level 1 (as you can see from the Outlining level on the Ribbon), it is at the top level of
the hierarchy, and Word automatically assigns the Heading 1 style to the paragraph.
3. Press the Tab key to demote the new line. Word assigns the Heading 2 style to it, which
is a Level 2 style in the outline.
4. Type Packing the Car and then press Enter.
5. Type Loading Up the Family and then press Enter. Notice that the outline level of each
new paragraph is the same as the outline level of the preceding paragraph.
6. Press Shift+Tab to promote the new line. The new line is now at Level 1 in the outline.
7. Type Chapter 2: We Reach Orlando and then press Enter.
8. Type Checking In to the Hotel and then press Tab to demote the line. Note that in
Outline view, you can press Tab to demote or Shift+Tab to promote a line at any
position; the insertion point doesn’t have to be at the beginning of the line.
9. Press Enter to start a new line, press Tab to demote the new line to Level 3, and then
type Reservation Problems!.
10. Press Enter to start a new line and then press Shift+Tab twice to promote the new line
to Level 1 status.
Take Note Instead of using Tab and Shift+Tab, you can use the Promote and Demote buttons on the Outlin-
ing tab. The Promote button is the left-pointing arrow; the Demote button is the right-pointing
arrow.
11. Finish the outline by typing the following. Make the first line Level 1 and all the other
lines Level 2.
Chapter 3: Magic Kingdom Adventures
The Ticket Booth
The Shuttle Ride
Shopping!
The Rides
The Parade
The Fireworks
12. Click to the left of the line The Shuttle Ride to select that line and then drag it upwards
so that it is above The Ticket Booth. This is one way you can reorder outline items—by
dragging.
13. Click in the Shopping! line and then click the Move Down button (the down-pointing
arrow) on the Outlining tab. This is another way you can reorder outline items.
14. On the Outlining tab, in the Show Level drop-down list, choose Level 1. The outline
collapses to show only the Level 1 headings.
15. Double-click the plus sign to the left of the Chapter 3 heading. The subordinate
headings below it appear.
16. Press Ctrl+A to select the entire outline and then click the Expand button (the plus sign)
on the Outlining tab to expand the entire outline again (see Figure 4-13).
86 Lesson 4
Figure 4-13
Outline view
17. Click the Close Outline View button to switch back to Print Layout view. From here you
can type the body paragraphs beneath each heading to tell your story.
18. SAVE the file as Vacation Story in the lesson folder on your flash drive and then CLOSE
the file.
Working with a Master and Subdocuments

A master document is the main document created in Word, such as a research paper. A
research paper or other long document might contain information such as a title, thesis, intro-
duction, techniques, results, and works cited, to name a few. This document can be 50 pages or
more, and scanning through the whole document could be cumbersome. Working with a master
document can organize the heading sections into smaller sections called subdocuments, which
are sections within the master document that have been separated into subsections. When you
create a subdocument, it becomes a separate file from the master, although it still remains linked to
the master document. This enables you to open a small 2- or 3-page document for editing, rather
than a 50-page document.
For example, you might create a master document for long reports and research papers. When
you finish formatting the master document with heading styles, you can create a subdocument for
each heading and its content. You create subdocuments based on their heading styles; Word saves
the subdocument with the heading as its filename.
As a student, you will most likely have to take a writing class for one of your core courses and pre-
pare a research paper. As you begin working on your research paper, you should outline it to make
it more manageable and to keep yourself organized. Working with the master and subdocuments
is similar to how you work on sections of your paper. You can edit your whole master document
or work in a subdocument as a separate file. When you edit and save subdocuments independent-
ly, Word automatically updates the master document because the subdocument is linked to the
master. When you later open the master document, all of the editing changes you made in the
subdocuments will appear there.
Saving the Master Document

To help you manage a long document, it is best to save the master document and all the subdoc-
uments in the same folder. Creating a folder makes locating subdocuments easy. The document
that you will work on is already formatted with heading styles. In this exercise, you learn to create
a folder, and then save the master document.
STEP BY STEP Save the Master Document
GET READY. OPEN the Hosting document from lesson folder.

1. To save the document in a specific folder, click the File tab and then click Save As. Click
This PC and then click Browse. The Save As dialog box appears for you to locate your
flash drive
2. Click the New folder button located under the address bar, type Master Hosting, and
then press Enter to accept the new folder name.
3. Double-click the new folder to place it in the address bar.
4. In the File name text box, type Master Proposal.
5. Click the Save button to save the document in the Master Hosting folder.
Creating Subdocuments
A subdocument is part of the master document, which is separated into small sections. Each
subdocument has a unique filename based on the heading style that was applied to it when it was
created. This feature is useful for a large research paper or other document; you work on one sub-
document section at a time rather than having the whole document open. The first step to creating
subdocuments is to identify the levels within the master document, just as you would when cre-
ating an outline. For example, using Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 is similar to creating an outline
and identifying headings with Roman numerals I, II, and II.
When formatting your document, you apply a heading style to each new section in your paper.
When you are editing subdocuments separately, the master document is automatically updated.
The Outlining tab contains the Collapse and Expand subdocument buttons that correlate with the
master document. In this exercise, you create subdocuments that are saved separately.
STEP BY STEP Create Subdocuments
GET READY. USE the Hosting document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. On the View tab, in the Views group, click the Outline button. The Outlining tab

3. In the Master Document group, click the Show Document button to display additional
commands.
4. Click the plus (+) symbol next to Introduction to select the heading. Even though you
cannot see it, the content within the heading is also selected.
5. Click the Create button in the Master Document group to create a subdocument.
6. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Show/Hide button. Notice that
Introduction has a subdocument icon on the left side and is surrounded by a border
with continuous section breaks above and below the heading (see Figure 4-15). The
border indicates that this is a subdocument, and the continuous section breaks indicate
the beginning and end of the subdocument. Once you create your first subdocument,
the Collapse Subdocuments button in the ribbon becomes active.

7. Select the plus (+) symbol next to the Account Information heading and, back on the
Outlining tab, click the Create button. A border appears around the subdocument.
8. Repeat the previous step to create a subdocument from each of the remaining
headings: Indemnification/Warranties, Prohibited Uses of Services and Products,
Bandwidth and Utilization, Security/Software, Violation, Confidentiality, and Refusal
of Service. The document should now display as shown in Figure 4-16, with a border
around each subdocument continuous section breaks before and after each one.

subdocuments
Saving Subdocuments
The next step is to save the master document with the subdocuments. Word automatically creates
a filename for each of the subdocuments based on the text formatted with the heading styles, and
saves each one as a separate file, but in the same folder. For example, the document that you are
working on contains many headings with a Heading 1 style applied to them. When you save the
master document, each of the headings and the text under the heading is saved as a separate file
automatically. In this exercise, you learn to save the master document with the subdocuments.
STEP BY STEP Save Subdocuments
GET READY. USE the Hosting document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. Click the Save button on the Quick Access Toolbar to save the Master Proposal
document and the subdocuments you created.
2. CLOSE all open documents.
3. Open File Explorer and browse to the Master Hosting folder you created earlier (see
Figure 4-17). Notice that Word has saved each subdocument as a separate file based
on the heading style (Heading 1) that was applied to the document. Each of the
subdocuments is linked to the master document.
90 Lesson 4

Promoting and Demoting Subdocuments

When you rearrange levels in a master document, you move the subdocument heading to another
level by using the commands in the Outlining tab to either promote or demote the level. For in-
stance, to move a topic in the paper to a location under another heading, you demote that topic
heading. As you continue working on your paper, you might come to realize that the Heading 1
style applied to one of the headings should be a Heading 2. In the Outlining tab, you can change
the level of a heading by using the promote or demote button. It is easy to demote a Level 1 to a
Level 2 or vice versa. So in this case, you demote the Level 1 to a Level 2. In this exercise, you learn
to use promote and demote buttons.
STEP BY STEP Promote and Demote Subdocuments
GET READY. OPEN the Master Proposal document from the previous exercise.
1. On the Outlining tab, in the Master Document group, click the Collapse Subdocuments
button. The document now displays the paths to the subdocument files you created.
2. Click the Expand Subdocuments button to display the text of all the subdocuments.
3. Point at the plus (+) symbol next to the Account Information heading—notice that the
mouse pointer changes to four arrows.
4. Click the plus (+) symbol once to select the heading and all the contents within the
subdocument.
5. In the Outline Tools group, click the Demote button once. The Account Information
heading has been demoted to a Level 2, as shown in Figure 4-18.
6. With the Account Information subdocument still selected, click the Promote arrow
once. The Account Information section has been promoted back to a Level 1. Demote it
back to a Level 2.
7. Click the Save button on the Quick Access Toolbar. The master document is saved with
the updated changes.

Figure 4-18
Heading demoted
Demoted section
Reorganizing Subdocuments
You can rearrange subdocuments within the master document. You change the order of subdoc-
uments by moving them from one location to another using the command buttons on the Out-
lining tab or by dragging and dropping. Once you move a subdocument, you must unlink it and
recreate it. You can also merge two or more subdocuments into one subdocument. In this exercise,
you reorganize subdocuments.
STEP BY STEP Reorganize Subdocuments
GET READY. USE the Master Proposal document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. Deselect the Account Information section by clicking in a blank area of the document
screen.
2. On the Outlining tab, in the Outline Tools group, select the Show First Line Only
checkbox. This displays the first line of each paragraph in each of the subdocuments
and hides the remaining content—making the subdocuments more manageable.
3. Scroll down and then click to select the plus (+) symbol by the Security/Software
heading and its contents.
4. Click the Show Document button to display the additional commands in the Master
Document group.
5. In the Outline Tools group, click the Move Down button four times, until the heading
is positioned below the Violation heading. There should be two continuous section
breaks above Security/Software.
6. The Security/Software subdocument is now surrounded by a border that also
encompasses the Confidentiality subdocument.
92 Lesson 4
7. Delete the two continuous section breaks under the Security/Software and
Confidentiality sections. Deleting these continuous section breaks makes it easy to
unlink the subdocuments.
STEP BY STEP Unlink Subdocuments
Currently, the Security/Software and Confidentiality sections are located in a single
subdocument. There is therefore only one subdocument icon for both levels, as shown in
Figure 4-19. Both of these subdocuments are linked to the master document and must first
be unlinked before you can create a separate subdocument for each section.
Figure 4-19
Repositioned subdocuments

1. Click the plus (+) symbol by Security/Software to select it and then click the Unlink
button. The subdocument icon disappears.
2. Click the Create button to create a subdocument. This places a border around this level
(only) and the subdocument icon appears.
3. Click the plus (+) symbol by Confidentiality and then click Create.
4. Clear the Show First Line Only checkbox.
5. In the Show Level drop-down list, select Level 1.
6. Click the Collapse Subdocuments button and a prompt appears, asking Do you want to
save changes to the master document “Master Proposal?” Click OK. Your screen should
match Figure 4-20. Word automatically saves the modified subdocuments with new
filenames, dropping the last character of the original filename and appending a 1 at the
end. The two additional files that you see in your Master Hosting folder are Securit1
and Confidentialit1. Each time you create a new subdocument, it is automatically linked
to the master document, and the original subdocuments are no longer linked to the
master document.

USING MACROS
A macro is a recorded sequence of commands to automate a task. It is a series of commands and
actions that you can record and run whenever you need to perform the task. When you create a
macro, you can run it manually or assign it to run whenever a specific key or series of keystrokes
are pressed.
Take Note A keyboard shortcut is a combination of two or more keys to perform a specific action. You might
have already applied a keyboard shortcut to open a new document by pressing Ctrl+N or to bold
text by pressing Ctrl+B. Word contains many preconfigured shortcuts, which are already assigned
to a specific action. Therefore, you cannot use them for your own customized shortcuts.
STEP BY STEP Assign Shortcut Keys
GET READY. LAUNCH Word and CREATE a new blank document.

Figure 5-1 1. On the View tab, click the Macros drop-down arrow to open its menu (see Figure 5-1).

98 Lesson 5
2. Click Record Macro to open the Record Macro dialog box (see Figure 5-2). In the
dialog box, you need to specify a name for the macro and decide which option to use
to assign a macro. You have two choices. You can assign a macro by button or by
keyboard.
Figure 5-2
Record Macro dialog box
3. In the Macro name text box, type Upcoming_Workshops. Spaces are not allowed; you
must add an underscore.
4. Leave the default setting for the Store macro in drop-down list. The macro will be
stored in All Documents (Normal.dotm). You want it stored there because you will need
to access this macro on a monthly basis. If someone else is working on the computer
and you’ve provided the person with the keyboard shortcut, he or she can access the
macro also.
Take Note The Normal.dotx template is the default template that Word 2016 attaches to any document you
create or open. As long as you save your macro to that template, it will always be accessible in any
document you open on that computer. If you save the macro to the new document you just created
instead, then the macro will only be available in that document, but you will be able to copy it to
any location and run it on any computer.
5. In the Description text box, type Use this table for all upcoming workshops.
6. Click the Keyboard button to open the Customize Keyboard dialog box as shown in
Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-3

7. In the Press new shortcut key box, press Ctrl+T. This shortcut key is already assigned to
the HangingIndent command, as shown in the dialog box.
8. Press Backspace to remove Ctrl+T.
9. Press Ctrl+Alt+T. This shortcut key is already taken by the ™ Trademark command. It
may take several attempts to find an unassigned shortcut key.
10. Press Backspace to remove Ctrl+Alt+T.
11. Press Alt+T. Notice that this keystroke is not assigned.
12. Click the Assign button to assign this shortcut key to the new macro. The Alt+T
command is moved to the Current keys box for this macro.
Take Note Word allows you to override assigned keyboard shortcuts, but this practice is not recommended,
unless you are certain that no one using the computer will need them. The best practice is to find
one that is unassigned.
13. Click Close. The changes will be assigned in the Normal template instead of
Document1. This saves the macro on the computer where you are recording the macro.
It can then be accessed by anyone who is working on that computer.
Recording a Macro
Once you determine which method you will use to assign the macro, the next step is recording
your steps. While Word is recording a macro, you see the mouse pointer change to a recording
pointer on your screen. At this point, every keystroke and mouse click is recorded. When working
with macros, you cannot use the mouse to select text. In this exercise, you learn to record your
steps to create and format a table.
The Record button has been enabled in the previous procedure; you should see the mouse pointer
change to a recording pointer on your screen. As long as you see the icon on your document screen,
you are still recording your steps. If you need to take a break, or do something that you do not
want recorded, click the Pause Recording command in the Macros menu. If you pause during a
macro, you can resume by clicking Resume Recorder.
STEP BY STEP Record a Macro
1. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click the Table down-arrow and then click Insert
Table. The Insert Table dialog box appears (see Figure 5-4).

ified. If you share your computer with another individual, this person too can use the keyboard
shortcut to apply the macro, as long as you provide the person with the shortcut key. You can use
this table for all upcoming workshops—all you have to do is change the data.
11. CLOSE the document without saving it.
Running a Macro
Once you have recorded a macro and saved it to the Normal template, you can press the keyboard
shortcut to run it in any blank or existing document. In this exercise, you learn to run your macro
in a blank document.
STEP BY STEP Run a Macro

1. Press Alt+T. The table automatically appears in your document. When you need to
work with this table, you can now access it quickly, edit the data, and then save the
document with a new filename.
2. SAVE the document as Upcoming Workshops in the lesson folder on your flash drive
and then CLOSE the file.
3. Now, let’s run the macro again another way. OPEN a blank document.

102 Lesson 5
Controlling Macro Security
Macros can streamline your work, but you must also be concerned about how security works with
macros. Macro security is concerned with active content in files that might come from a site that
has no digital signature or from someone who has written malevolent code. If someone sends
you a document that contains macros with active content, it might pose a security risk and harm
your computer. A hacker is a person who writes malicious programs, such as malware intended
to harm your computer or access your data illegally. Every day, we hear about hackers breaking
into large company networks and accessing confidential information. Organizations have secu-
rity in place to identify and stop anyone from accessing data on their networks, so it’s important
to know, when working with macros, who your trusted sources are. Word has a macro security
feature that keeps track of trusted sources and locations. This macro security feature determines
whether a macro is safe to run on your computer. You want reassurance that macros coming from
other sources are generated by a trusted publisher. A digital signature is a code that identifies
the company or person from which a file originates. Individuals can create their own digital sig-
natures, but for them to be trustworthy, they must be issued by a trusted certificate authority. In
this exercise, you learn to review the securities on your system.
Figure 5-7

Use this figure as a reference throughout this lesson as well as the rest of this book.
MONITORING MACRO SECURITY

Macro security in Word 2016 consists of preventive measures that determine whether a macro is
safe to run.
STEP BY STEP Review Macro Security Settings

1. Click the File tab and then on the Backstage page, click Options. The Word Options
dialog box appears.
2. In the Word Options dialog box, click Trust Center. The Trust Center screen appears

3. Click the Trust Center Settings button. The Trust Center dialog box appears, displaying
the Macro Settings page (see Figure 5-9). This is where you manage how macros run.
You can choose to disable all macros with or without notification, disable all macros
with the exception of those that are digitally signed, or enable all macros, which could
harm your computer.
4. Select the Trust access to the VBA project object model checkbox. This allows access
to the Visual Basic for Applications object model.
5. Click the Cancel button to close the Trust Center dialog box.
PAUSE. LEAVE the Word Options dialog box open to use in the next exercise.

Now you will learn to add the Developer tab to the ribbon.
STEP BY STEP Use the Developer Tab
1. In the Word Options dialog box, click Customize Ribbon on the left pane. The
Customize Ribbon page appears (see Figure 5-10). This screen is where you customize
the Ribbon or, in this case, add a Ribbon tab that is hidden by default.
2. Under Customize the Ribbon, select the Developer checkbox and then click OK. The
Developer tab appears on the ribbon.
3. Click the Developer tab to display its groups and commands. The Developer tab
contains commands that are used with macros, which includes codes, templates,
controls used in forms, add-ins, and more.
Take Note Previously, you opened the Macros dialog box to run a macro that you created. On the Developer
tab, in the Code group, you can access the Macros dialog box by clicking the Macros button. In
the same group, you can record a macro and pause a recording—these are the same commands as
those in the Macros group on the View tab. The Developer tab also contains more commands. The
Macro Security button opens the Trust Center. This displays the macro settings for your comput-
er. If you have a programming background or feel comfortable writing code, you can write your
own macros using the Visual Basic editor

USING QUICK PARTS

Quick Parts is an umbrella term for a group of Word 2016 tools that enable you to insert pre-
configured content anywhere in a document. By accessing the Quick Parts gallery, you can insert
any of the following types of content:
• AutoText: A gallery containing snippets of text that you frequently use in your documents. By
default, the AutoText gallery contains the name and initials of the current Word user. You can
add any selected block of text to the gallery for later insertion into a document.
• Document Properties: Every Word document contains property fields that specify its author
and other information. Using Quick Parts, you can insert the information from any of these
fields into the main body of a document.
• Fields: Fields are placeholders containing information that is automatically updated when you
insert them into a document. For example, the date field inserts the current date, but every
time you open the document, the field is updated as the date changes.
• Building Blocks: A gallery containing content of various types, including headers, footers,
page numbers, cover pages, and watermarks, which you can add to your documents.
Using Built-In Building Blocks

Building blocks contain built-in reusable content such as text, graphics, and objects, which are
easy to manage and insert in a document for a quick format. Building blocks are organized in gal-
leries and sorted by category. In the Building Blocks gallery, you can insert cover pages, headers,
footers, page numbers, text boxes, and watermarks.
Autotext is another term for one type of building block. You use both features the same way.
Word provides a number of predefined building blocks, or you can create or customize your own
106 Lesson 5
building blocks for use in other documents. The Building Blocks Organizer tool provides a way to
manage building blocks by editing, deleting, or inserting them.
In the left pane of the dialog box, the built-in building blocks are listed by name. The Gallery col-
umn indicates the gallery that contains each building block, and the Category column indicates
each element’s general type. The Template column indicates name of the template in which the
element is stored. By storing your building blocks in the default Building Blocks.dotx template
file, you make them available to all of your documents. You can use the buttons at the bottom of
the dialog box to delete and edit selected building blocks. The right pane previews your selections.
In this exercise, you learn to use built-in building blocks and insert fields in a document.
STEP BY STEP Use Built-In Building Blocks

Creating and Copying Building Blocks

You can create your own building blocks, to store any text that you use frequently. For example,
you might create a building block that consists of the signature lines you use in business letters,
including your name, title, and company name.
When deciding where to store building blocks, consider whether you will want to share them with
others, and whether you want them available for all documents.
New building blocks that you create in Word are stored by default in the Building Blocks.dotx file.
This template is automatically enabled all the time, so no matter what document you are working
on, and no matter what template it uses, the building blocks you store there will be available—that
is, as long as you are working on the same computer and are signed into Windows with the same
user account.
You can choose to store building blocks in the active template if you prefer. For example, if you
create business letters using a template called Business Letters, and you save the building blocks in
that template, those building blocks will not show up in documents created with other templates.
If you share that template with others who use different computers, the building blocks will be
available to them whenever they use that template.
You can share your Building Blocks.dotx file with other users on the same computer by copying it
from the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\15
folder, and then pasting it into the corresponding user folder for another user account.
You can share the Building Blocks.dotx file with users on different computers by emailing them
the file or providing it on a disc or flash drive. Make sure you give the recipients instructions about
where to store the file, so that Word will recognize and use it.
The following exercise shows how to create a new building block and then copy the Building
Blocks.dotx file between user accounts on the same PC.

Inserting an Equation
Microsoft Word 2016 has built-in equations, which you can insert from the Quick Parts gallery
or by using the Equation command. When you create a table that contains values, you can calcu-
late your answer by inserting an equation. The same rules that you learned in Math apply when
inserting equations. You can use the Equation Tools Design tab, which appears when you insert
an equation into a document, to edit or construct your own equation. In this exercise, you learn
to insert equations in a document.

Inserting a Field from Quick Parts

A field is a placeholder that Word uses to insert content into a document. Word automatically
uses fields when specific commands are activated, such as those for inserting dates, formulas, page
numbers, and a table of contents. For example, when you insert a date field in a document, the date
is updated automatically each time the document is opened. In this exercise, you learn to insert a
field in a document.
Fields, also called field codes, appear between curly brackets ({ }) when displayed. Field codes
are turned off by default. To display the field codes in a document instead of the information
the fields contain, press Alt+F9. You can toggle back and forth to display text and field codes by
pressing Alt+F9. To edit a field, place the insertion point within the field, right-click, and then
click Edit Field.

ADDING AND LINKING CONTENT

In a long document, it might be useful to refer to other content in the document, such as other
sections, figures, tables, or individual sentences. You can provide the item’s name to refer to (for
example, “see Figure 1”), but if users are going to be viewing the document onscreen, you can save
them some time by creating a live link to the content to which you are referring.
114 Lesson 5
If the area that you want to refer to in the link has some special status already, such as a heading or
a numbered figure, equation, or table, you can use a cross-reference to refer to it. If the area is just
some body text, with no special designation, you must create a bookmark to mark the spot; then
you can refer to the bookmark in the cross-reference.
Creating a Bookmark
A bookmark is an invisible pointer that you insert in a document. You can insert it anywhere in
a document and then refer to that bookmark in a cross-reference.
STEP BY STEP Create a Bookmark
GET READY. OPEN the Hosting document from the lesson folder.
1. Near the middle of page 5, select the text The mailbox size maximum is 15 megabytes.

4. Click Add. The bookmark is created.

5. SAVE the document as Hosting Reference in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
Creating a Cross-Reference
A cross-reference is a reference to some other spot in the document. It can be a bookmark (like
the one you created in the preceding exercise), or a numbered item, heading, bookmark, footnote,
endnote, equation, figure, or table.
The cross-reference itself can be the actual text of the item being referenced, the page number on
which it appears, the number of the referenced item (for example, 4 for the 4th paragraph), the
caption of the item (such as for a figure or a table), with or without its numbering, or the word
above or below.
STEP BY STEP Create a Cross-Reference
GET READY. USE the Hosting Reference document that is open from the previous exercise.
1. In the fifth paragraph on page 2, position the insertion point at the end of the first
sentence.

4. In the Insert reference to drop-down list, leave the default Bookmark text value
selected.
5. Click Insert. The dialog box remains open.
6. Click Close to close the dialog box. Note that the cross-referenced sentence appears in
the paragraph. You might need to add a space to separate the sentences.
7. Scroll down to the middle of page 5 and then change 15 to 20 so that the sentence now
reads: The mailbox size maximum is 20 megabytes.
8. Scroll back up to page 2, where you inserted the cross-reference. Notice that the
bookmark still shows the old size.
9. Right-click the bookmark-inserted sentence and choose Update Field. The bookmark is
updated to display the new value.
10. SAVE the document as Hosting Reference 2 in the lesson folder on your flash drive and
Inserting Text
Word 2016 also provides the ability to insert text from an outside file into an open document. For
example, if you want to append the text from a file to the end of your open document, or insert the
text in the middle of the document, you can do so using the Text from File feature.

WORKING WITH FIELDS

A field is a code that is used to display variable information. When you update the field, if the
data on which it is based has changed, the field updates too. One example of a field is an auto-
matically updating date or time code that changes to the current date and time whenever the field
updates.
Understanding Fields
Fields operate behind the scenes in many different contexts in Word. You have worked with fields
in some exercises in this book already, perhaps without realizing it. For example, when you create
a table of contents, a bookmark, or a figure caption, you are working with a field. Table 6-1 lists
some fields and the Word commands that create them.
Table 6-1
Field Purpose Tab/Command
Examples of How Fields
are Used in Word {Bookmark} Creates a bookmark Insert, Bookmark
{Date} Creates an automatically updating date Insert, Insert Date and Time
code
{Hyperlink} Inserts a hyperlink Insert, Hyperlink
{NoteRef} Inserts a footnote number References, Insert Footnote
{Page} Inserts a page numbering code Insert, Page Number
{TOC} Inserts a table of contents References, Table of Contents
There are many kinds of fields. As you learn in Lesson 7, mail merges insert merge fields, which
are fields that pull certain data from the source document, such as names and addresses. You can
also insert a variety of fields that describe your document, such as the user name, user initials, file
name, and so on.
119
120 Lesson 6
The field codes themselves do not display in the document by default; instead, the result of the
field codes display. When you toggle on the display of the field codes, however, the fields appear
in curly braces, like this: {Date}. Each field has a default format that’s used if the code appears by
itself. When you customize a field, you add switches to the field code that change the way it be-
haves. A switch is a property or argument that changes the code’s behavior. Dialog box settings
for features that insert a field code, such as Bookmark or Date, determine the switches that the
field uses. For example, to display the current date in a format like August 5, 1964, you would use
the following field code:
{DATE \@ “MMMM d, yyyy”}
Inserting Fields
You can insert fields in a document either by using a command that creates a field code as part of
its operation or by using the Field command. You practice both methods in the following exercise.
When you insert a field, you can customize it by changing the properties in the Field dialog box.
You can also edit the field’s properties to customize the field.
STEP BY STEP Insert Fields

uppercase in the document.
16. SAVE the document as Tech Terrace fields in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
Take Note If you know exactly what you want for your field code and its syntax, you can press Ctrl+F9 to in-
sert a blank field code, complete with an empty set of curly braces, directly into the document. You
can then type in the desired field code and any special syntax required to format it. Field names
are not case-sensitive. If a property contains spaces, you must enclose that property in quotation
marks. Leave one space between the field name and each property or switch. Leave one space be-
tween the backslash (\) of a switch and its parameter. Leave one blank space to the right of the left
curly brace and one blank space to the left of the right curly brace.
Customizing Field Formats

You can customize a field in a variety of ways. As you saw in the previous exercise, you can use
the properties in the Field dialog box to assign switches and other arguments to a field code. You
can set Text fields to Uppercase, Lowercase, First capital, or Title case. For numeric fields, you can
assign a specific numbering format, such as 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C.
You can also manually edit a field’s code to customize it. You do this by toggling on the display
of the field code and then editing the code string in the document, or by clicking the Field Codes
button in the Field dialog box and editing the code there. In the following exercise, you will prac-
tice both methods of customizing a field code.

WORKING WITH FORMS

In Word, a form is a document that has one or more data collection fields—called
content controls —inserted, which can contain data. You can create forms that collect struc-
tured data for documents, such as employment applications, invoices, and employee time sheets.
Take Note As you think about creating a form, visualize how the form fields will align with one another.
You might want to create a table to hold the fields and their labels to ensure that the fields line up
neatly.
In the following exercise, you will insert content controls into a document to create a form that
employees can complete to document their hours worked.

CREATING INDEXES
An index is an alphabetical list of the key topics in a document, along with the page numbers on
which those topics appear. Most non-fiction books include an index at the end.
Creating an index in a Word document is a two-step process. In the first step, you mark each
instance of words that should appear in the index. This can be a very time-consuming step; for a
large document, it can take hours or even days.
128 Lesson 6
In the second step of the process, you issue the command for Word to generate the index. It is
during this step that the actual index is created. There are numerous options for creating indexes
with different structures and layouts.
Take Note Indexing takes some thought because not every instance of every word may be appropriate for
indexing; only usages that are significant should be included. Creating good indexes is a skill that
people develop with practice. Some people make a career of marking up documents (mostly book
manuscripts) for indexing.
Marking Index Entries Manually

One way to mark index entries is to work through the whole document manually, marking every
instance of each word to be indexed. Each index entry is marked with a {XE} field code, with the
phrasing and formatting for the index entry as arguments in that code. For example:
{XE “Warranties”}
Manually marking the terms to be indexed results in the highest quality index. This is because
you can exclude certain instances of the words if they are not significant. An index with too many
irrelevant entries is as useless as one with too few entries. For example, imagine how useless it
would be to index all instances of the phrase “Microsoft Word” in this book you are reading now.
It appears on nearly every page. The manual method also enables you to use different words to
index certain phrases or concepts that are synonyms, and to index certain words under two or
more different main entries.
Most index entries are main entries—that is, they appear at the top level of alphabetization.
You can also create subentries, which appear in a separate subordinate alphabetized list beneath
one of the main entries. For example, if there are multiple skills covered pertaining to a certain
topic, it might appear in the index like this:
Furniture
Building, 5
Refinishing, 18
Selling, 21
In the following exercise, you will mark some index entries manually in a document.
STEP BY STEP Mark Index Entries Manually
GET READY. OPEN the Research on First Ladies document from the lesson folder.
1. In the second paragraph, under the Women in Politics heading, select the phrase
creation of the First Lady title.
2. On the References tab, in the Index group, click Mark Entry. The Mark Index Entry
dialog box appears.
3. In the Main entry text box, type First Lady.
4. In the Subentry text box, type creation of title (see Figure 6-10).
5. Click Mark. The formatting symbols are made visible and an {XE} field code appears in
the document.
6. Leave the Mark Index Entry dialog box open and then drag it to the side so you can see
the text behind it.
7. In the History of First Ladies section, select Warren G. Harding.
Figure 6-10
Marking an index entry
8. In the Mark Index Entry dialog box, place the insertion point in the Main entry text box.
The Warren G. Harding text appears.
9. Click Mark.
10. In the Main Entry text box, type First Lady. In the Subentry text box, type wife of
Warren G. Harding.
11. Click Mark again.
12. In the Role of First Ladies section, select the phrase social hostesses, spokeswomen or
political surrogates and independent advocates.
13. In the Mark Index Entry dialog box, in the Main Entry text box, type First Lady. In the
Subentry text box, type categories and then click Mark.
14. In the Power of First Ladies section, select the name Abigail Adams and mark it with
the Main Entry value of Adams, Abigail.
15. In the same way, mark the names of the other first ladies in the sentence, creating main
entries from their names, with the last name first (see Figure 6-11).
Figure 6-11
Index field codes
16. CLOSE the Mark Index Entry dialog box.

17. SAVE the document as Research on First Ladies Indexed in the lesson folder on your
flash drive.

130 Lesson 6
Marking Index Entries with an AutoMark File

Another way to mark index entries is to create an AutoMark file. This is a document that lists one
instance of all the words that should be included in the index. Word can use this file to automat-
ically mark all instances of each of the included words in the entire document. This method is
much faster and easier than manually marking a document, but may result in too much marking.
An AutoMark file contains a two-column table. In the left column, type the words or phrases that
should appear in the index—in other words, the words and phrases to find and mark in the docu-
ment. In the right column, type the words the way they should appear in the index.
If you want to create subentries, separate the main entry and subentry with a colon in the right
column, like this: Furniture:Refinishing.
Indexing is case-sensitive, so make sure you include all variations of a word in the right column.
It’s okay to have duplicate entries in the left column.
In the following exercise, you will edit an AutoMark file and then use it to mark up a document
for indexing.
STEP BY STEP Mark Index Entries Automatically with an AutoMark File
1. OPEN the AutoMark document from the lesson folder.
2. In the blank rows at the bottom of the table, type the following (see Figure 6-12):
Meringolo Historians:Meringolo, Denise
Mayo Historians:Mayo, Edith
Anthony Historians:Anthony, Carl Sferazza
Gutin Historians:Gutin, Myra
Figure 6-12

3. SAVE the document as AutoMark Entries and CLOSE the file.

4. In the Research on First Ladies Indexed document, on the References tab, in the Index
group, click Insert Index. The Index dialog box appears.
5. Click the AutoMark button. The Open Index AutoMark File dialog box appears.
6. Select the AutoMark Entries file that you saved earlier and then click Open.
Word automatically marks all of the entries that were listed in the file.
Take Note Notice that Word inserts an index field code for all of the occurrences of the terms in the Au-
toMark table.
7. SAVE the document as Research on First Ladies Indexed 2 in the lesson folder on your
flash drive.
Creating and Updating an Index

After you have completed the markup in a document, you can generate the index. You can place
an index anywhere in a document, but they are traditionally placed at the end.
In the following exercise, you will generate the index, make a change to the index markup, and
then update the index.
STEP BY STEP Create and Update an Index
1. Positio¡n the insertion point at the end of the document and then press Ctrl+Enter to
create a page break.
2. On the References tab, in the Index group, click Insert Index. The Index dialog box
appears. See Figure 6-13.
Figure 6-13
Index dialog box
3. In the Formats drop-down list, choose Classic.

4. Click OK. Word creates the index. Because the index is short, the separate headings for
each letter of the alphabet might seem like overkill.
5. Notice that the index entry for Warren G. Harding is alphabetized by his first name.
In the History of First Ladies section of the document, locate the {XE “Warren G.
Harding”} field code and then change it to read {XE “Harding, Warren G.”}.
6. Right-click anywhere on the index and choose Update Field. The index is updated to
include Harding, Warren G. under the letter H (see Figure 6-14).
132 Lesson 6

SETTING UP A MAIL MERGE

Mail merges are useful for creating multiple documents that have the same basic content and
personalizing them with unique information from a data source—for example, a form letter sent
to multiple customers using different recipient names and addresses. You can use mail merges for
internal and external correspondence such as memoranda, labels, invitations, and more. The mail
merge document contains the same information that everyone will receive. The individuals re-
ceiving the document are located in a data source, which is the list of recipients, and contains in-
formation for each individual with variable data, such as the person’s first and last name, address,
city, state, zip code, phone number, and so on. You can create the data source as a Word table, in
which Word provides the fields and you type the data in them. You can also customize the fields
to fit your document. Word also supports the use of other programs for the data source, such as
Excel workbooks, Access tables or queries, or Outlook contacts lists.
Setting Up a Main Document Manually

You can begin working with Mail Merge by typing your letter and then selecting a data source.
You can use an existing data source, create your own data source list by typing your recipients’
information, or use an Outlook address book for your contact information. You don’t need to have
a database program installed on your computer because Word makes it easy to create your list of
recipients. You can create a table in Word in which the fields are already identified for you and easy
135
136 Lesson 7
to customize. After setting up your document, you can preview your results and check for errors
using the tools available in the Preview Results group and then perform the merge. In this exercise,
you create a document, type information, insert an existing data source, insert the address block
and greeting line, check for errors in the document, preview the letters, and perform the merge.

8. SAVE the main document as Reception Letter in the lesson folder on your flash drive.
Saving the main document as a separate document enables you to merge with a
new data source file, such as when you need to use the same letter again, but with a
different recipient list. When you open a main document that contain field codes, Word
asks you for the data source file.
Take Note The main document is the document that contains the body of the letter as well as the Address Block
and Greeting Line merge codes.
Take Note Once the main document has been set up, you can format at the beginning of the mail merge process.
Executing A Mail Merge

The final steps in a mail merge are to check for errors, preview the merge, and finalize the merge.
The Check for Errors feature mimics the merge before you complete the final merge and print
process. If there is an error, you can correct it in the main document. For example, if you used
the Insert Merge Field button and forgot to insert the field for city, you would see the error in the
document. To correct the error, make sure you do this in the main document.

Using the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard

It’s a good idea to learn the various steps of a mail merge by performing them manually, but if you
want to make sure that you complete all of the required tasks, you can use the Step-by-Step Mail
Merge Wizard to walk you through the process.
STEP BY STEP Use the Step-by-Step Merge Wizard

1. On the Mailings tab, in the Start Mail Merge group, click the Start Mail Merge drop-
down arrow and then select Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard. The wizard appears in
a separate pane to the right of your document, displaying the Select Document Type
page (see Figure 7-15).
Figure 7-15

Take Note The Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard provides an alternate method for completing the same tasks
you performed during the manual mail merge setup, earlier in this lesson. In some cases, the wizard
uses the same dialog boxes as the manual procedure, while others are different.
2. Select the type of document you want to create, as you did earlier in the Start Mail
Merge menu, and then click the Next: Starting Document link at the bottom of the
page. The Select Starting Document page appears (see Figure 7-16). On this page, you
specify whether to work with the currently open document, open another existing
document, or create a new one from a template.

PAUSE. CLOSE the document. LEAVE Word open for the next exercise.
MERGING A DOCUMENT WITH DIFFERENT

DATA SOURCES
Previously in this lesson, you learn to perform a mail merge using a Word document and an Access
database as the data source. However, you can use other data sources in a mail merge, including
Word tables, Excel workbooks, and Outlook contact lists. Each of these different formats includes
fields—name, address, city, state, zip code, and so on. If the format of the data source is not cor-
rectly recognized by Word, then you can use the Match Fields button to correct any errors.
In the next exercise, you learn to merge an existing letter with different data sources, both manu-
ally and by using the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard.
