Text Entry and Editing
Almost every document needs some text and Word offers many features for helping you create it quickly and accurately without wearing out your fingertips. This tutorial explores how to eliminate annoyances you may encounter when entering and editing text.

Forms, Revising, Proofing and Finalizing
Word offers a slew of features to help keep your colleagues under control and fix problems with documents they've edited.

OLE, Mail Merge, and Office Applications
By this point, you should have wrestled Word more or less into submissionunless you're performing mail merges or using Word together with other Office applications , or you're using Word on the Mac

Word on Mac
You can get almost any regular Mac user to tell you dozens of ways in which Mac OS X is superior to Windows, from its more "intuitive" interface to its BSD-based resistance to most of the less sophisticated forms of attack that can cripple even Windows XP systems updated with the latest patches.
But get that same Mac user talking about Word for the Mac, and you're more likely to hear a litany of annoyances than a paean of praise. Word for the Mac shares many of the features that have made Word for Windows a prerequisite of the modern business world, but not all of them.

Basic to Advance Level Word Tutorial
This complete word tutorial offers to the point (and often opinionated) solutions to your most vexing editing, formatting, printing, faxing, and scanning problems. It covers everything from installation and templates to tables, columns, and graphics. For example, learn how to stop Word from searching the Web for help, and how to enter the same text easily in multiple parts of a document-and keep it updated automatically. It also provides a gentle introduction to the power of macros so you can slay your annoyances by the truckload. The fixes will work with most versions of Word, including Word 2000, Word 2002 (also known as Word XP), and Word 2003.

Formatting and Layout
Normally, getting text into a document and doing basic editing provides plenty of annoyances but formatting and layout offer even more. Don't worry, though: this tutorial shows you how to wrestle most of these annoyances into submission, and how to work around the rest.
Your first order of business is to sort out Normal.dot. If the default font, view, and margins aren't to your liking in Normal.dot, they won't be in any documents based on it eitherwhich means all documents that you don't specifically base on another template.
Next up are direct formatting tips, numbering woes, and advice on using Word's styles. Formatting is easy to apply in moderation but can quickly become confusing, especially when Word starts switching the language on you without warning. Automatic numbered lists can be a great time-saverwhen they work. Styles can save you even more time, provided that you know how to create them, apply them effectively, and deal with their quirks.

Installation, Repair, and Configuration
Installation should be a snap, whether you're installing Word on its own or as part of Office. You slide in the CD, make a few simple decisions, type in the product key, and let the installation roll. The first time you run one of the applications in Office XP (also known as Office 2002) or Office 2003, you have to activate Office. But after that, you're on your way.

Tables, Columns, and Text Boxes
Tables are a great tool for positioning data precisely in your documents without resorting to such horrors as groups of text boxes. Tables mostly behave pretty well, provided that you know what you're doing with thembut their complexities and occasional outré habits can be extremely annoying.

Automate Away Annoyances with Macros
In this tutorial, we'll disucss how to eliminate 15 or so common annoyances by using macros. Some of these annoyances are specific ones that you may share: for example, it may irk you that Word doesn't automatically return to the last editing position when you open a document, that it indiscriminately capitalizes the first letter of every word when you apply title case to selected text, or that you have to mess with the Paste Options dialog box or the Paste Options Smart Tag if you want to paste in text with no formatting.

Inserting and Positioning Graphics
Whenever I paste in a bitmap graphic (e.g., a GIF or JPEG), Word decides for itself what size the image should be in my document. I would like for it to paste in the image at its natural size and then let me scale it if necessary. Lots of images only look good at their natural sizes, so I don't want Word messing around with the dimensions.

Printing, Faxing, and Scanning
This tutorial shows you how to deal with the worst printing annoyances that Word throws at you, starting with serious annoyances (Word crashes whenever you print, or printing simply fails) and moving along to tips for printing ranges of pages, printing in reverse order or draft quality, and performing complex duplexing for recalcitrant photocopiers. You'll also learn how to deal with "Bizarre Swelling of the Right Margin Syndrome," how to respond when your printer slices off your footer, and how to create a print file.
