45. Word 2007 Style
A style is a set of formatting instructions. In another term, it is a way to give a name to a
group of formatting attributes such as font formatting (color, size, etc), paragraph
formatting (alignment, spacing, etc).
Microsoft Word 2007 allows you to create your own Word styles and also come with a
number of built-in styles. Among the most important built-in styles are the standard
heading styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc.
For example, you might use Title Heading for chapter titles, Heading 1 for section
headings, Heading 2 for the sub-headings, etc.
Once you have defined a style, you can quickly and easily format text simply by
applying the style without the need to apply text formatting individually. Styles can save
a lot of time and help insure consistency in your documents.
With the headings styles, Word can automatically create a table of contents (TOC), and
you also can use headings to define cross-references. Here we show you how to use
styles to create a TOC later.
These styles are on the Home tab, in the Styles group.
09/27/12 STID 1103 45
46. To apply the Style
Place the cursor in the chapter title or
heading in your document.
In the Styles group, click on a suitable
heading such as Title for the highest
level, Heading 1 for the next level, etc.
To see more styles, click the More icon
in the Styles group and you can choose
any intended style.
Note: For each chapter title and heading,
you need to apply the style.
The heading styles and the TOC work
together as Word designate Heading 1
titles to the highest level in the TOC;
Heading 2 corresponds to the next
highest level; and Heading 3 is the
following level.

Has Specific Column Widths?
Create table in Word 2007 is not difficult, no matter how
many columns or rows. But getting your column widths "as
you wish" can be challenging task.
For instance, what if you want a ten-column table with the
first two columns a certain width, and the rest of the
columns sharing the remaining horizontal space?
Here's an easy way to define that table setup. All you need
to do is set the wider columns, and then use the Split Cells
option to create the rest. Here's you an easy way to get the
desired result.

81. Word 2007 Table of Contents
A table of contents (TOC) is very useful for a long document. For
example, you can use TOC to quickly browse through what are the
contents of a long document.
Adding a TOC to your document is simple if you have included styles
(either build-in style such as Heading 1, Heading 2, etc or custom styles)
Many people try to create a table of contents manually, without using the
built-in process in Microsoft Word. It's not easy and the spacing never
comes out quite right, does it?
This tutorial demonstrates how to create a TOC. There are two steps you
take to create a TOC:
1. Prepare your document by assigning heading styles that you want to appear in the TOC.
2. Apply those headings into the TOC.
After the heading styles are applied, it's time to collect them all together
in the TOC. This is where Word does the work for you.

replace the TOC.
Click OK.
Note: If you want to change TOC 2 (Level 2) or TOC 3 (Level 3) to be blue
also, you would do the same procedure selecting TOC 2 or TOC 3 in the
Style dialog box before proceeding to the Modify Style dialog box.
The TOC is automatically updated whenever you open the document; but it's
a good idea to also update it whenever you add more titles or headings in
your document or when you add more content that may affect the page
numbers that appear in the TOC.
09/27/12 STID 1103 86
87. To update Word 2007 Table of Contents
Click the References tab of the ribbon.
From the Table of Contents group, click the Update Table icon.
From the Update Table of Contents dialog box displayed, you have two
options to choose:
Update page numbers only: If you've added body text but no new
headings (this option is faster).
Update entire table: If you have added or changed a chapter title or
heading.
Note: Avoid editing entries in the TOC itself; if you ever update the TOC
you will lose those changes. To change text that appears in the TOC, be
sure to edit this text in the body of the document and then click Update
Table to compile the changes.

Word 2007’s work space gives many interactive choices. The Office button includes: opening, saving, printing, finishing, and publishing options. The title bar displays the name of the document. The different tabs display the different Ribbons. Each Ribbon contains buttons associated with its function. The Buttons in a Ribbon are split into Groups which make them easier to find. The quick access toolbar contains popular buttons. The user can add buttons to the toolbar. The default buttons are Save, Undo, and Repeat. There is both a horizontal and vertical ruler. Notice page margins are blue whereas the body area is shown white on the rulers. The status bar gives information about the document. View buttons are shortcuts to the most popular document views. The zoom slider controls the size of the document on screen. A smaller view shows more of the page whereas a closer view is easier to read. The vertical scrollbar scrolls through the entire document. Hover the mouse over the slider and the page number is displayed.
Figure 1.2 (on slide, top right) shows a blank document. The term document is used to describe a Word file. You can have as many documents open and active as the memory of your computer allows. Each document appears in its own window, which can be minimized, maximized, or resized similar to any other computer program window. There are also scroll bars that appear along the side and bottom that enable you to move within the document. Figure 1.3 (on slide, bottom) shows the Word window with 3 buttons in the upper-right corner. These buttons should be familiar to users of previous versions of any of the programs in the Microsoft Office Suite. The first button minimizes the window, which makes it disappear as a window and appear as a button on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. The last button (the X) closes the open file as well as the entire application if there is only one Word file open. The middle button changes depending on the current status of the window. A maximized window fills the screen so that you cannot see any other window. You can also maximize the window by double-clicking on the Title bar, which is the top line of the window with the document name in the center. If the window is already maximized, the middle button restores the window, making it smaller so that you can see other windows and the desktop underneath. Then you can change the size of the window by grabbing any corner or edge and dragging toward the center to make it smaller or dragging outward to make the window larger.
File Menu—There are no drop-down menus (shown in Figure 1.5 on previous 2 slides). The drop-down menus have been replaced with the Ribbon system, which provides faster access to the commands you need. However, there is one drop-down menu that does exist in this version of Word, which is the File menu. Open the File menu by clicking the Office Button; it is used for executing tasks such as opening existing documents, creating new documents, or printing documents. Figure 1.6 (on slide) shows the commands that are accessed through the File menu. The Office Button provides many of the commands you need to open a document, save a document, or create a new document. To the right of the menu is a list of the file names of the last few documents that you opened. If you just completed a document named Background, for example, that file will appear on the top of the list. You can open these documents again simply by cling on the file name as long as they haven’t been deleted, removed, or renamed. In the bottom-right corner are 2 buttons: Word Options: Configures Word the way you want to. Exit Word: Closes the entire program, including all open Word files. If you made changes to any of the documents, Word asks you if you want to save each document as it closes.
The View buttons on the status bar are a collection of different ways to look at the document. The views are: Print Layout View, which shows a document as it will print. All printed portions of the document will be visible including headers and footers. Full Screen Reading View is the view for reading on screen. This view reflows the document and only shows body text. Documents opened from the Internet are opened in full screen reading view. Web Layout shows the document as a web page. Outline view shows an outline based on the style heading that was used in the document. This view is also used when producing a Master document and subdocuments. Draft View is similar to what was previously known as normal view. The body of the document without headers and footers is displayed. This view doesn’t show page breaks unless they have been manually added.
