In this article we’ll cover some tips for using Microsoft Word. It
doesn’t matter if you’re using a Windows PC or a Mac, Word is very
similar.
The first step before starting to type a document is to set up the
formatting. Choose the font, the font size, set the margins, any tabs
that you anticipate and the spacing such as single or double spacing.
It is much easier to set up the overall formatting from the start and
then change particular elements later.
Sometimes Microsoft Word seems to take over with formatting. Maybe
you’re making a list and it starts to automatically indent and number
or bullet your items. This can be handy sometimes but not always, so
under the Format command choose AutoFormat. Next click on options and
select any items that you may not want at this time. Again, you may
want to set this up before starting your document.

Have you ever had a Microsoft Word or Excel document emailed to you
that you couldn't open? I don't mean a random document or spam but one
you were expecting from a known person. It is frustrating, especially
if you’re on a deadline, but there is a quick fix.
One example is, if a person creates a document with Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint or an Excel spreadsheet on a Mac the end tag, .doc, .ppt or
.xls is not always visible. If this document is then emailed the end
tag is not included with the name. When opening this document on a
Windows computer, utilizing Microsoft Office versions 2000 - 2003, the
tag is required.
