Using Templates and Building Blocks

Once you have mastered Word Styles, the next step is to organize and save the styles you use often into a template. This is useful when there are particular types of documents or content that you find yourself creating repeatedly - such as fax cover sheets or form letters, to name just two examples. You can save styles and layouts, watermarks, headers, footers, and even pre-typed content as a template to speed things up. This section will show you how to:

• Create a new document from a template
• Create a custom template with your own styles
• Streamline your work with Word "building blocks"
• Protect your content with passwords
• View and edit your document's properties and statistics

Adding Graphics

Graphics can enliven your documents and clarify topics that are difficult to fully explain in words. The Word Intermediate training will show you all the tips and tricks of dealing with graphics so you have full control over placement and appearance. After this class, you will manipulate graphics with confidence. In the comfort of our supportive classroom environment, you will get to experiment with how to:

• Create and format different diagrams using built-in Word tools
• Add text to a SmartArt graphic or shape
• Create powerful images with Word shapes
• Convert a shape into a text box and link multiple text boxes
• Separate text box formatting from text formatting
• Change the stacking order and alignment of objects for powerful effects
• Create stand-out text with WordArt, drop caps, and pull quotes
