Part II. Word on the Street

IN THIS PART

Part II focuses on the baseline skills that every Word user needs and uses—regardless of why you use Word. This section covers the basics thoroughly but doesn't spend a lot of time belaboring things that are already obvious. Beyond that and more important, Part II is heavy on tips, pitfalls, and shortcuts. It also continues the drumbeat of leverage—namely, using document styles to save you time and work.

Chapter 7 begins with the basic unit of formatting—character formatting. Chapter 8 introduces and explains paragraph formatting, contrasting it with character formatting, and setting the stage for Styles. Chapter 9 combines elements of character and paragraph formatting, providing a full exposition on understanding and using Word Styles and the various style tools Word offers. Chapter 10 will show you everything you need to know about the Clipboard, which is perhaps the most important time-saving word processing tool ever conceived. Finally, Chapter 11 will guide you through the powerful world of Find and Replace. When you need to change something, Word's find and replace tools offer power and control not found in any other word processor.
