Objectives • Modify text flow options • Insert and delete section breaks • Format sections • Verify format consistency
Using Widow/Orphan Control • A widow is the last line of a paragraph that appears by itself at the top of a page • An orphan is the first line of a paragraph that appears by itself at the bottom of a page
Setting Page Breaks and Nonbreaking Spaces • A soft page break is created automatically when text reaches the bottom page margin, forcing subsequent text to the top of a new page • A hard page break forces subsequent text to the next page, regardless of its proximity to the bottom page margin • You can insert hard page breaks using the Paragraph dialog box or the Break dialog box • A nonbreaking space forces words to remain together on the same line • To insert a nonbreaking space, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR
A section is a portion of a document in which you can set certain page formatting options that do not affect the rest of the document A section break is a code that identifies a section in a document Next Page starts the new section on the next page Continuous starts the new section on the same page Even Page starts the new section on the next even-numbered page Odd Page starts the new section on the next odd-numbered page Inserting Section Breaks
Formatting Sections • After you establish sections in a document, you can apply formatting to each as needed • Formatting options you can apply to sections include: • Page orientation • Margins • Page borders • Headers and footers • Vertical alignment • Columns • Page and line numbering • Footnotes and endnotes
Verifying Format Consistency • To compare formatting between two text selections: • Display the Reveal Formatting task pane • Select the first text selection • Select Compare To Another Selection • Select the second text selection • Right-click the second selection and click a menu option or make a change from the task pane
Verifying Format Consistency (cont’d) • To verify formatting as you type: • Select Tools | Options and display the Edit tab • Select Keep Track Of Formatting, if necessary, and select Mark Formatting Inconsistencies • Perceived inconsistencies are marked with blue, wavy underlines • To correct an inconsistency, right-click the marked text and select an option from the shortcut menu

Creating Headers and Footers • Headers and footers display text and/or graphics in the top and bottom margins of document pages • Headers and footers can include graphics, AutoText, page numbers, and date and time codes • Headers and footers appear only in Print Layout view or in Reading Layout view when the Actual Page option is in use

Editing and Formatting Column Text • Word applies newsletter-style columns, in which text flows from the bottom of one column to the top of the next column • As you add or delete content, text shifts between the columns and is distributed to keep the columns balanced • You edit and format column text just as you would any other text
Formatting Columns • Column formatting you can modify includes: • Forcing text to begin in a new column • Changing column width • Changing the space between columns • Displaying vertical lines between columns • To force text to the top of a new column, insert a column break • To change width and spacing or to display lines, use the Columns dialog box

Objectives • Create tables in documents • Sort table data • Perform calculations in tables • Use Microsoft Excel data in tables
Creating Tables in Documents • Tables display data in rows and columns, which intersect to form individual cells • A cell is a table element in which you enter data or graphics
Creating Tables in Documents (cont’d) • Create tables by: • Drawing a table with the tools on the Tables And Borders toolbar • Converting text to a table • Use a tab or a comma (or some other separator to indicate where one column ends and another begins • Use a hard return to indicate where a table row ends • Using the Table | Insert | Table command
