PAGE BACKGROUND SECTION:
This tutorial covers the Word 2007 Page Background section of the Page Layout tab. The first button is watermark. I like using the watermark feature in this section for printing flyers or Christmas letters. The watermark feature places a very light image in the background of the entire document that you can type over.
Click the down arrow on the Watermark button. The Watermark button gives you a list of default watermarks you can put in your document. To use the default features simply scroll through the options with the side scroll bar then click on the selection you would like to place in your document.
I encourage you to play with this feature it can make some really cute documents.
Now let's change the entire background color of the greeting card document we are working on.
Click the dropdown arrow next to Page color. You can select one of the colors provided, click more colors, or select fill effects.
Remember that any choice you make will fill the entire background of your document.
The last button in the Page Background section is Page Boarders. Click the Page Boarders button.
You dont have to have all 4 lines you can have just a line at the top or maybe in the left margin. If you dont want a boarder around your document and have tried some of the selections click Cancel.
REFERENCES SECTION:
p>Once your report is finished, you would click on the table of contents drop down arrow and select your style. This will create your table of contents page automatically. It may even go through your document and automatically add content. This is the easiest way to add a table of contents.
If you would like more options click the down arrow of the Table of contents and select Insert Table of Contents selection. This will open the Table of Contents window. The top 2 boxes will show you what your Contents page will look like when you click the OK button after making all of your selections. The check box next to Show page numbers gives you the option to show or hide page numbers. Right align page numbers places the page number at the far right hand side of the document. If you have this box checked it will let you select from a list of Tab leaders. The General section lets you select from a list of formats for the text of your Content page. Make you selection and see how it changes the text in the Print Preview box. Levels lets you select how many indentations your table of contents will have in the list.
Once all of your selections are made click the OK button in the Table of Contents window and you will be returned to your document with the table of contents inserted.
The next button is Add Text. To use this button go through your report and highlight Text you want to add to your table of contents and click Add Text then select the outline level you want the paragraph to be in your Table of Contents Page. This will place the text you selected as the description and automatically format the table of contents with the page number. If any additions or deletions are made to your report or when you add text and it does not appear right away all you need to do is click Update Table and the page numbers in your contents page will be updated.
FOOT NOTES SECTION:
In this tutorial you will learn to use the Word 2007 Footnotes section of the References tab. A footnote is used to comment on or provide a reference for text in a document. A footnote will create two parts in your Word 2007 document; a note reference mark next to the sentence or line you are referencing and the footnote text at the bottom of the page. To add a footnote to your document select the location you want your reference mark to appear then click the Insert Footnote button. This will bring you to the bottom of the page when you can type your comments. The Insert Footnote button will not only add the foot not but also renumber them as you move text around. Footnotes are usually for detailed comments and endnotes are used for citations.
To insert an Endnote click in the location you want the reference mark then click on Insert Endnote and it will be placed at the bottom of your document and allow you to type your endnote.
The Format section is where you choose how your footnotes and endnotes are labeled. Click the down arrow next to number format to see your choices and make a selection. You can also customize the mark by choosing a symbol. Click the Symbol button and you will get a new window with symbol choices. You can start at any number for your footnotes and endnotes. Use the up and down arrows to choose where you would like to start. The numbers can be Continous, restarted at the beginning of each section, or restarted at the beginning of each page. The changes in this window can be applied to the whole document or just a section if you have your document divided into sections.
