Microsoft Word 2010 Step by Step, Joyce Cox and Lambert

2013-02-20T00:10:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Word 2010 Step by Step PDF Download Ebook. Joyce Cox and Joan Lambert show how to create impressive documents with Word 2010. By help of this book, you set the pace-building and practicing the skills you need, just when you need them! Topics include using styles and themes; sharing, printing, and publishing documents; editing images from within Word; using SmartArt® diagrams and charts; creating references, footnotes, indexes, and tables of contents; collaborating with multiple people at the same time on the same document; and turning your ideas into blogs, Web pages, and more.

There might be times when you want words to appear behind the text of a printed or online document. For example, you might want the word CONFIDENTIAL to appear faintly behind the text in a contract. When you want to dress up the pages of your document without distracting attention from the main text, you might consider displaying a faint graphic behind the text.

These faint background effects are called watermarks. Watermarks are visible in a document, but because they are faint, they don’t interfere with the readers’ ability to view the document’s main text. In this exercise, you’ll first add a text watermark to every page of a document, and then you’ll add a graphic watermark.

Joyce Cox has more than 30 years' experience in the development of training materials about technical subjects for non-technical audiences and is the author of dozens of books about Office and Windows technologies. Joyce is vice president of Online Training Solutions, Inc. (OTSI). She was also the first managing editor of Microsoft Press, an editor for Sybex, and an editor for the University of California.
