Syllabus

Organizing Content Using Tables and Charts

You use tables in documents so that you can arrange information in rows and columns. But you can use tables for more than just making your data look good. In this lesson, you will organize and chart the data in tables in Microsoft® Word.

Customizing Formats Using Styles and Themes

An organization should have a standard look and feel for their documents, both inside and outside the organization. Formatting documents using styles and themes helps define the organization’s identity. Using styles and themes in Microsoft® Word helps you maintain a consistent look and feel in your documents. In this lesson, you will customize the look of text within a newsletter through the use of styles and themes.

Inserting Content Using Quick Parts

You have inserted many types of elements in your Microsoft® Word documents, such as tables, text boxes, and images. In this lesson, through the use of Quick Parts, you will see how you can easily add default and custom content to your documents.

Using Templates to Automate Document Formatting

You have seen how using styles and Quick Parts can give your documents a consistent look and feel. Using those components can also save you time when formatting your documents. In this lesson, you will create templates in Microsoft® Word to ensure a consistent look for your documents.

Controlling the Flow of a Document

You have added and edited several elements in your documents. There are times when you need to control how text flows from one page to the next so that it makes the content easier to read. You might also want to have different sections of the document formatted in different ways. In this lesson, you will use the various features available in Microsoft® Word to control flow and formatting.

Simplifying and Managing Long Documents

When you work with a document in Microsoft® Word, you can use features such as the Navigation pane to simplify navigating through a document. Locating information in a lengthy printed document is more difficult. To help the reader of a print copy of a document, you can create a list of relevant items or key words. In this lesson, you will generate and insert reference lists in a document.

Using Mail Merge to Create Letters, Envelopes, and Labels

You have used techniques for standardizing the look and feel of your documents, using Quick Parts and templates to reduce your workload when creating documents, managing the flow of text, and managing long documents. Microsoft® Word includes another useful feature that enables you to automate the creation of documents, such as letters, for a number of recipients. In this lesson, you will learn how to use the mail merge feature so you can send a customized document to each individual on your mailing list.
