18. Lesson 5:Using Outlines

19. Objectives • Create outlines • Collapse and expand outlines • Format documents in Outline view • Edit documents in Outline view

20. Creating Outlines • You can use Outline view to create outlines • Outline view – displays a document as headings and subheadings, indented to show the document structure • You can create an outline by applying built-in heading styles or outline levels to each paragraph • Heading style – specifies formatting characteristics and an outline level • Outline level – a paragraph format that assigns a hierarchical level to selected paragraphs, creating an outline hierarchy

21. Creating Outlines (cont’d) • There are nine built-in outline levels, from Level 1 through Level 9 • You can modify and rearrange an outline by switching to Outline view and using the Outlining toolbar • You can use the buttons on the Outlining toolbar to rearrange the hierarchy of the outline and to control the level of detail displayed • You can also use the Document Map to control the level of detail displayed

22. Collapsing and Expanding Outlines • You can control the level of detail displayed in Outline view by collapsing or expanding the outline • When you collapse a level within an outline, you hide the subheadings and body text below that level • When you expand a level within an outline, you redisplay the subheadings and body text below that level • You can collapse and expand outlines using the Outlining toolbar or the Document Map

27. Creating Headers and Footers • To create headers and footers, display the header and footer areas of the page and the Header and Footer toolbar • Header – displays text and/or graphics in the top margin of document pages • Footer – displays text and/or graphics in the bottom margin of document pages • Headers and footers display only in Print Layout view • Headers and footers can include AutoText entries, page numbers, and date and time codes

28. Creating First Page Headers and Footers • You can create a header or footer on the first page of a document that differs from the headers and footers in the rest of the document • You specify a different first page header and footer using the Layout card of the Page Setup dialog box • First page headers and footers are initially blank • You can leave the first page headers and footers blank or enter any other text or graphics • If header or footer text was previously entered for the first page, it is deleted

29. Alternating Headers and Footers • Use alternating headers and footers to specify different information for odd- and even-numbered pages • You specify alternating headers and footers using the Layout card of the Page Setup dialog box • Alternating headers and footers are useful when a document will be bound as a book with facing pages

30. Working with Page Numbering • Two ways are available to add page numbers to the header or footer area of documents: • Use the page numbering tools in the Header and Footer toolbar • Use the Page Numbers dialog box • When using the Page Numbers dialog box, you can specify whether or not to display the page number on the first page of the document • You can specify different formatting characteristics for page numbers, such as Arabic or Roman numerals

33. Creating Tables • Table – a collection of text and/or graphics displayed in rows and columns • Cell – a table element in which you enter data or graphics. Each cell is the intersection of a row and column. • You can create tables by: • Using the Insert Table feature • Using the Draw Table tool • Using the Insert Table dialog box • You can modify tables using the tools in the Tables and Borders toolbar

34. Entering Text into Table Cells • Text you type automatically wraps within each cell • If text wraps to additional lines, the cell height changes to accommodate the text, but the column width stays the same • You can manually adjust row heights and column widths • To enter text, position the insertion point in a cell and type • To move to: • The next cell – press TAB • The previous cell – press SHIFT+TAB • Other cells – use the arrow keys or click on a cell • To revise cell data, select the text and type new text

35. Performing Calculations on Table Data • To perform calculations on table data, you reference cells by their column letters and row numbers • Columns are denoted alphabetically from left to right • Rows are denoted numerically from top to bottom • The top-left cell is cell A1 • You can use the Formula dialog box to enter formulas or functions into the active cell • Formula – an expression that performs a specified calculation on table data • Function – a pre-defined formula that performs a special calculation, such as summing a specified range of cells • Active cell – the cell that contains the insertion point

36. Performing Calculations on Table Data (cont’d) • Formulas must begin with an equal sign (=) • Formulas can contain mathematical operators: • Addition (+) • Subtraction (-) • Multiplication (*) • Division (/) • =C1+C2+C3 sums the first three cells in column C • You can use the Formula dialog box to specify a number format for the calculation results

37. Moving Tables • To move a table, drag its move handle to a new location in the document • You can move a table into a blank area of the document or into blocks of text • When you move a table into a block of text, the text wraps around the table by default • You can use the Table card of the Table Properties dialog box to: • Specify left, right or center alignment for a table • Activate or deactivate text wrapping

41. Formatting Table Text • You can format table text the same way you format other document text • You can select the contents of one or more cells, then apply formatting characteristics using the Formatting toolbar and the Tables and Borders toolbar

42. Using Borders and Shading with Tables • By default, all table cells have half-point borders • You can modify borders by changing line style or line weight, or you can remove borders • By default, table cells contain no shading • To apply shading to cells, click on a cell or select multiple cells, then click on a color from the Shading Color palette

43. Using Table AutoFormat • Table AutoFormat – a feature that applies pre-defined fonts, borders, shading, and column widths to a table • To apply an AutoFormat – click anywhere in the table, display the Table AutoFormat dialog box, and select a table style • You can choose to selectively apply portions of the AutoFormat to the table, and you can choose to apply formatting to specific areas of the table

44. Lesson 9:Working with Columns

45. Objectives • Insert section breaks • Format sections as multiple columns • Enter and edit text in columns • Format columns • Remove columns and section breaks

46. Inserting Section Breaks • Be default, new documents contain one column that spans the width of the page • To create a multiple-column format in a portion of a document, you must divide the document into sections • Section – a portion of a document with its own page formatting characteristics, separated from the rest of the document by section breaks • Use the Break dialog box to insert section breaks

47. Inserting Section Breaks (cont’d) • You can start a new section: • On the following page • Immediately following the current section without a page break • On the next even-numbered page • On the next odd-numbered page • In a multiple-section document, the current section number displays in the status bar

48. Formatting Sections as Multiple Columns • You can apply a multiple-column format to any section in a document • Use the Columns button in the Standard toolbar to specify the number of columns to insert • When you apply column formatting, the changes affect only the section that contains the insertion point • If you have not yet inserted sections, you can select text, then use the Columns button to specify column formatting. Section breaks will be inserted automatically.

49. Entering and Editing Text in Columns • Text in columns flows the same way as text in regular paragraphs • You enter and edit text in columns just as you would any other text • When you reach the bottom of a column, the text automatically flows to the top of the next column • By default, the columns are balanced to occupy the same amount of space

50. Formatting Columns • Column formatting you can modify includes: • Forcing text to begin in a new column • Preventing page breaks between paragraphs • Changing the number of columns in a section • Adjusting column width and spacing • To force text to the top of a new column, insert a column break • To adjust column width and spacing, use the Columns dialog box
