Word is capable of much more than most people use it for, and formatting documents for self-publishing, journal publication, or academia is a common request made of editors. This course will teach lesser-known features in Word that take away the guessing game of formatting and significantly reduce formatting-related headaches and the amount of time spent trying to make Word work. This 90-minute webinar discusses:
- How to find and understand “hidden” formatting marks
- Using and updating Styles
- Hidden issues that can arise (and be fixed) from the Font and Paragraph menus
- When and how to use section breaks (for footnotes, different page sizes, or margins)
- How to create clean, professional-looking documents with no underlying problems
- Time-saving tricks to batch-format without macros
