Creating a Multiple-page report Tutorial 3
Formatting Headings with Quick Styles • Quick Styles: gives the document a polished look and allows you to apply an entire set of formatting choices with one click. • Paragraph-level formatting: they are set up to format an entire paragraph. • Character-level formatting: they are set up to format only a few characters or words.
Page Break • Manual page break: one you insert at a specific location.
Inserting a Blank Table • Header row: identifies the type of information in the table. • Header column: column on the left that identifies the type of information in each row. • Sort: refers to the process of rearranging information in alphabetic, numerical, or chronological order. • Ascending: A to Z or 1, 2, 3, 4 …. • Descending: Z to A or 10, 9, 8, 7….
Tabs • Tabs or Tab stops: location on the horizontal ruler where the insertion point moves when you press the Tab key. • Five major tabs: • Left (most commonly used) • Center • Right • Decimal • Bar • Dot leader: row of dots between tabbed text.
Footnotes and Endnotes • Footnote: explanatory comment or reference that appears at the bottom of a page. • When you create a footnote, Word inserts a small, superscript number. • Endnotes: similar, but the text of an endnote appears at the end of the document.
Orientation • Landscape: long edge of the paper is at the top. • Portrait: short edge of the paper is at the top. • SmartArt: allows you to create diagrams and charts to illustrate concepts that would otherwise require several paragraphs of explanation.
Headers and Footers • Header: text that is printed at the top of every page. • Footer: text that is printed at the bottom of every page.
Cover Page • Typically includes the title and the author of the report. • A cover page should not include the document header and footer.
