Part V. Document Design

IN THIS PART

Content and form often are depicted as classic combatants in the world of words and publishing. Much of the Bible to this point has focused on content, the basic building blocks of Word documents. While what you say and how you say it are important, so is how it's presented. Part V focuses on document design, looking at how you put it all together so that what you say actually gets read.

Chapter 25 deals with page setup and issues that require breaking documents into multiple sections. Chapters 26 and 27 show the ways that text boxes and columns, respectively, can help you structure text for special publications such as newsletters and brochures. Chapter 28 explores the dark secrets of background matter, including watermarks and other ways of decorating page backgrounds and backdrops. Chapters 29 looks Word 2007's newfound ability to publish Word documents in PDF and XPS formats. Chapter 30 surveys Word 2007's HTML, XML and blogging capabilities. Last but not least in Part V, Chapter 31 shows you everything you need to know about templates and themes.
