Create a Table
-
To add a table to a document, choose
Insert from the Table menu.
-
Choose Table from the Insert
submenu.
-
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.)
-
Click the OK button and
the table grid will appear on the screen.
-
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
-
To create multiple columns in a
document, choose Columns from the Format menu.
-
Click on the picture that resembles
the type of columns desired.
-
Once selected, the column width
and the spacing between the columns can be changed or left with
the default settings.
-
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
-
To create/modify headers and footers,
choose Header and Footer from the View menu.
-
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.
-
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.)
-
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
-
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.)
-
Use the Tab key to place
the cursor where you want the page number to be.
-
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.)
-
When finished, click on Close
on the Header and Footer toolbar.
Insert Clip Art
-
To insert clip art, start by placing
the cursor where you want the clip art to be placed.
-
Place the cursor over Picture
in the Insert menu, and then choose Clip Art from
the Picture submenu.
-
Click on one of the picture categories
and the clip art choices will appear.
-
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.)
-
You can now see the clip art in
the document.
