Tips and tricks Microsoft Word 2007
Split Document:
Have you ever been working on a large document and needed to refer to another part of it? It can be frustrating having to scroll from once section to another. By using the split document feature, you can independently navigate two sections of the same document. Here’s how:
- Click View Tab.
- Click Split and slide the “splitter bar” under wherever you need it.
For a more detailed description check out a video tutorial on split document.
Encrypt your Documents:
Need to share a document but don’t want the information to be accessed by everyone? Protect it with a password. Here’s how:
- Click the Office Button (the circle in the upper left hand corner of Word 2007).
- Click Prepare and choose Encrypt Document.
- You’ll be prompted to enter your password.
This will prevent unauthorized access to your document. Don’t forget that password!
Generic/Dummy Content:
You can easily put generic/dummy text into the word document a couple of ways. Here’s how:
- Anywhere in your document type the following function “=rand()” and press Enter. You’ll see three paragraphs of sample text.
- Anywhere in your document type the following function “=lorem()” and press Enter. You’ll see three paragraphs of generic placeholder text sometimes known as “Lorem ipsum” or “Greeked Text”
