Microsoft Word / General Formatting The default page orientation in Word is Portrait mode, and most of the time this is how you are going to want to set up your documents. Simply put, Portrait mode means the page is longer than it is wide. Sometimes, however, when you are working with charts or when you're creating something like fliers, you'll want to turn the page so the horizontal edge is longer than the vertical edge. |

The second half of the tutorial grapples with placing graphics where you want them (and making sure they don't get deleted by accident), controlling Word's enthusiasm for creating hyperlinks, using tabs correctly, and creating complex headers and footers.

Microsoft Word / General Formatting Oftentimes it is necessary to put vital information about your document either at the top of the page, at the bottom of the page, or a combination of both. While you can easily enter things such as document title, page numbers, creation date, author, etc. at the top or bottom of your document body, if you place them in a header or footer outside of the document body, you can rest assured that this information will always retain the correct placement, no matter how much you edit the content of your document. |

Microsoft Word / Getting Started Like the Standard toolbar, the Formatting toolbar is set by default to appear any time you open Word. It is usually docked below the menu bar, to the right of the Standard toolbar. If the monitor you are using is small and screen space is at a premium, it makes sense to deactivate this toolbar by right clicking on it and deselecting it from the list, as the commands are not as essential as those on the Standard toolbar. |
