Saving Time with Templates, Themes, and Master Documents

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. Although 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 16 deals with page setup and issues that require breaking documents into multiple sections, identifying document content with headers and footers, and using columns to help you structure text for special publications such as newsletters and brochures. Chapter 17 explores page background matter, including the use of watermarks and other means of decorating page backgrounds and backdrops. Last but not least in Part V, Chapter 18 shows you everything you need to know about templates, themes, and master documents.
