Preface
The 7 magic areas
For those of us who write books, Microsoft Word 2010 has 7 magic areas we use to get the format just right.
I’m going to take you through each of the areas and show you exactly how to format your document so that your final book will pass the formatting requirements of the publisher. If you use this guide effectively the final book can look like the books made by the big 6 printing houses.
Things such as the gutter
and facing pages along with headers, footers and the opening section numbered i
through iv
and so forth, followed by the main section being numbered 1
through 212
etc.
Getting the Table of Contents right is one of the primary problems writers have when releasing their books. Many writers make a good table of contents only to edit the book or change the margins and forget to recreate the table of contents. ALWAYS, redo the table of contents LAST before releasing the document.
Let’s begin the journey through the Microsoft Word software and see how it’s done, and why.
Home
This section is called Home
because it’s the foundation area for creating a document.
One of the biggest problems people have with upgrading their MS Word programs isn’t learning the new features and functions, it’s finding out where they put all of the old stuff. Microsoft has a habit of relocating the functionality in their programs when they rewrite them.
Once you get used to the new layout, you will discover that it’s easy to use. The new functionality adds greatly to the quality of your finished product.
In this step by step tutorial, I have included as many screen shots as needed to help you locate the knobs and buttons in the word program.
Once you know where everything is and what it does, the rest is intuitive.
Font
The first area we’ll talk about is the Font
area. This is basic to any and all writing. In the upper left of the area you find the two boxes with the drop down menus for selecting the font style and font size.
The Font drop down menu is shown above.
The Font Size drop down menu is shown above.
Notice that in the lower right hand corner of the Font area there is a small square with an arrow pointing down and to the right. Every area on every page will have this square and it opens a popup box allowing characteristic changes in the attributes of this area. The screen below is an example of the popup box that results when this Expansion Icon
is clicked on.
Note that every time I refer to the Expansion Icon
, I am referring to this Icon in the lower right of the area we are working in.
In the screen shot above, we are looking at the popup resulting from clicking on the Expansion Icon in the Font area.
The popup isn’t just a repeat of the Icons in the area. The popup offers a great deal more options for controlling the characteristics of the font, as you can see by the check boxes. The window in the popup box shows the current state of the font and underneath the window is a description of the type of font represented.
If things get really strange and you’re not sure how to fix it, there is the option in the bottom of the popup marked, Set As Default
that will return everything back to where you started.
Paragraph
The Paragraph area allows you to control the attributes of the paragraph you’re working on. If you want to apply the same attributes to the entire document, then highlight the entire document before selecting the attribute, such as left
