This is one of the most used software in the world and among its hundreds of features, some can save your precious time.
Twenty-six years! This is the age of Word, making it one of the oldest software still used today. What progress since the first versions under MS-DOS in 1983, two years before the birth of Windows! In every version, Word has enriched countless functions to become one of the most comprehensive programs to date. And, in the range of word processing "heavy", there is little more than Writer, the software of the free OpenOffice suite, which can claim to stand up to the champion.
If you can hardly blame big gaps in Word, ergonomics, however, is far from unanimous. The 2007 version in particular, that which is the subject of this guide, has put off many users by its lack of flexibility. The famous tag, on which it is impossible to add or remove buttons, marks an unprecedented decline compared to the menus and toolbars of previous versions. They could indeed be customized from A to Z. Hence the interest of Addintools software that allows you to find in Word 2007 menus in version 2003. Another pitfall: the commands and features of Word are now so numerous that most users do not exploit the quarter or the tenth, the rest being relegated to sub-menus rarely opened, commands ignored or obscure keyboard shortcuts.
Should ignoring these orders ignored? No, because some contain treasures and everyday use can save you much time. Examples abound. So, did you know that the ordinary command Find and Replace works equally well with character attributes (font, size, color ...) with words? That the Office Clipboard lets you copy up to 24 different contents, then paste them anywhere in your text? Whether you work with people on a document preserving the history of times each reviewer? You can enter in your paper a mathematical equation that look like two drops of water to those published in textbooks, or even with the outline, you can "bend" and "unfold" your document in the manner of 'a road map?
What are all these uses, and many others, we invite you to discover in the pages that follow. To enjoy it, no need to be an expert: manipulation presented here are for the most part, nothing very complex and are comparable to anyone who knows the basics of Word, bases on which we do not return.
We conclude this guide in Word by a brief presentation of macros and VBA, with which it is possible to automate any series of commands and create real applications "turnkey".
