WORD TIPS

If you have a problem press F1 for help, this may give you some guidance.

When you have to open a .RTF file or .TXT file do it in WORD remembering to choose the file type from the drop down box that will be displaying by default just WORD files. You need "ALL" files. . When you save the file remember to save it as a WORD file otherwise you will lose all the formatting you have just added.

Remember to set the page size to A4 if required otherwise your margins will look odd. Remember to set the correct page orientation. Remember to set the correct margin size.

If you have chosen, for example, three columns for your document and you have to have a title page with no columns on that page write something, highlight it and selct no columns and that should work.

Remember to check whether text is left justified (to the left), centred or fully justified (level on both sides). Text is never usually right justified unless it is used as a heading. These settings are on the HOME tab.

This is a Serif font and this is a Sans - serif font Serif fonts have leading edges and strokes. Sans - serif fonts are like motorway/underground/kids book lettering Serif and sans - serif fonts are a type of font.....NOT an actual font. UNLESS you are using Expression Web where you can choose serif or sans - serif from a list to make life easier for web creation

TABLES should fit within text columns, not going into the "guttering" (the space between them). To get a good fit shrink it down, centre the text or left align it, to reduce the width, then right click on the table and choose AUTOFIT....this might help. Remember to check what font is required in the table as the data for the table may have come from Excel or Access.

If you have to import a table from Access tidy it up in Excel before placing it into your WORD documnet. It's easier to add or delete rows and columns and place a border around around it to define its size in Excel.

A sub -heading goes under the heading - MAYA COFFEE IMPORTERS ..........a great cup of coffee from us

At the end of your work check the spelling and make sure the spaces between paragraphs is equal. The column tops should be aligned and images should fit between the columns and be inserted as illustrated on your exam paper.

Remember you INSERT an image from a file, or cut and paste it in. Right click on the image to select how text flows around it.
