Word 2000 - The Next Step


Create a Table

  1. To add a table to a document, choose Insert from the Table menu.
  2. Choose Table from the Insert submenu.
  3. Choose the number of columns and the number of rows for the table. (It is easy to add more rows later, but not quite as easy to add columns later.)
  4. Click the OK button and the table grid will appear on the screen.
  5. Use the Tab key to move between cells in the table and to add rows at the end of the table. Each cell can be formatted just as a Word document can be formatted (fonts, bullets, centering, etc.)

 

Use Multiple Columns

  1. To create multiple columns in a document, choose Columns from the Format menu.
  2. Click on the picture that resembles the type of columns desired.
  3. Once selected, the column width and the spacing between the columns can be changed or left with the default settings.
  4. Once all adjustments have been made, click on the OK button. The columns will show on the screen. Text will fill up the first column before it flows into the next column.

Create/Modify Headers and Footers

  1. To create/modify headers and footers, choose Header and Footer from the View menu.
  2. The main text for the document will show in a pale gray color. Type text into the header and it will appear on every page.
  3. To change from the header to the footer, click on the Switch Between Header and Footer icon on the Header and Footer toolbar. (It looks like a page with the header and footer hanging off of it in yellow. It is the ninth icon from the left and the third icon from the right.)
  4. When finished making changes to the Header and Footer, click on Close on the Header and Footer toolbar.

Note: Headers and Footers have preset tabs. Press the Tab key once and you will be able to type in the center of the header or footer. Press the Tab key another time and you will be able to type on the right hand side of the header and footer.

Automatic Page Numbering

  1. The most common place for page numbers to be placed is the header and footer. So, open up the Header and Footer. (See previous instructions.)
  2. Use the Tab key to place the cursor where you want the page number to be.
  3. Click on the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. (It is the first icon. It looks like a white page with the number sign on it.)
  4. When finished, click on Close on the Header and Footer toolbar.

Insert Clip Art

  1. To insert clip art, start by placing the cursor where you want the clip art to be placed.
  2. Place the cursor over Picture in the Insert menu, and then choose Clip Art from the Picture submenu.
  3. Click on one of the picture categories and the clip art choices will appear.
  4. Click on the picture to be inserted and click on the Insert Clip icon in the pop up menu. (It is the top picture on the menu.)
  5. You can now see the clip art in the document.
