Lesson 4 : FORMATTING in MICROSOFT WORD 2010 Lesson 4 : FORMATTING IN MICROSOFT WORD 2010 LEARNING IN THIS CHAPTER • Format Painter • Inserting Column and Column Break • Setting Paper Size • Applying Subscript, Superscript and Shadow Effects • Inserting Page Break & Line Break • Working with Tabs • Applying Header and Footer • Setting Margins & Page Orientation • Indenting Text Microsoft Word is a word processor that helps you to create documents with a professional outlook. It is not only provides the facility to type and edit the text, but also offers features to enhance the overall appearance of the text. FORMAT PAINTER The Format Painter tool is used when you want to copy and apply the formatting of one section of text or graphic, such as colour, font style and size, and border style, to another section of text or graphic. APPLYING SUPERSCRIPT AND SUBSCRIPT The Superscript option places the selected text slightly above the baseline. On the contrary, Subscript option places the selected text slightly below the baseline and makes it appear smaller than the rest of the text. APPLYING SHADOW EFFECT The Text Effects lets you apply WordArt type appearance to text in the body of your document. Unlike WordArt, Text Effects can be applied using Styles. APPLYING HEADER AND FOOTER Header and Footer is used to place some information on the top and at the bottom of every page respectively. You can include the title, chapter's heading, date, page number, author's name etc., in this section. INSERTING COLUMN AND COLUMN BREAK When you type in Microsoft Word, by default, the text is displayed in a single column style or in paragraph style. If you wish to format the document in newspaper style, i.e., column style, Word enables you to create a document in two or more columns. SETTING MARGINS Margin refers to the amount of blank space between the edge of the page and the document text. Microsoft Word allows you to set the margins on all the four sides of a document, i.e., top, bottom, left and right. The default margins are set at 1" from top and bottom, and 1" from the left and right edges of the page. SETTING PAGE ORIENTATION Page orientation defines the direction for printing or displaying the document in Word. WORKING WITH TABS The most common way to indent the text is to use the Tab key. It is used to move the cursor at specific spaces in a document. By default, Tab stops are set at every 0.5 inch. You can set the Tab stops along the ruler according to your requirement. INDENTING TEXT Indentation determines the amount of spacing between the text (section of text or paragraph) and the page margins. Recap The Format Painter tool is used when you want to copy and apply the formatting of a section of text or graphic, such as colour, font style, size, and border style to another section of text or graphics. The Superscript option places the selected text slightly above the baseline. The Subscript option places the selected text slightly below the baseline. Shadow effect gives a 3D look to the text. Header and Footer is used to place some information on the top and at the bottom of every page respectively. Margin refers to the amount of blank space between the edge of the page and the document text. The Page Orientation property sets the printing direction of the text.

  • The Selnolig Package: Selective Suppression of Typographic Ligatures*
    The selnolig package: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures* Mico Loretan† 2015/10/26 Abstract The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called “common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression rules for a number of so-called “discretionary” or “rare” ligatures, such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLATEX format provided by a recent TEX distribution, e.g., TEXLive 2013 and MiKTEX 2.9. Contents 1 Introduction ........................................... 1 2 I’m in a hurry! How do I start using this package? . 3 2.1 How do I load the selnolig package? . 3 2.2 Any hints on how to get started with LuaLATEX?...................... 4 2.3 Anything else I need to do or know? . 5 3 The selnolig package’s approach to breaking up ligatures . 6 3.1 Free, derivational, and inflectional morphemes .

  • The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu
    The Deer Scroll by Kōetsu and Sōtatsu Reappraised Golden Week Lecture Series— Four Masterpieces of Japanese Painting: A Symposium Miyeko Murase, Former Consultant for Japanese Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Takeo and Itsuko Atsumi Professor Emerita, Columbia University Poem Scroll with Deer (part), Hon’ami Kōestu and Tawaraya Sōtatsu, early 17th century, handscroll, ink, gold and silver on paper, 13 3/8 x 372 in., Gift of Mrs. E. Frederick, 51.127 It has been quite some years since I last spoke here at this museum, so many in fact that I have lost count. It is really wonderful to be back, and I want to thank director Mimi Gates and curator Yukiko Shirahara, who invited me to speak today on the world-famous Deer Scroll by Sōtatsu and Kōetsu. This proud possession of the Seattle Art Museum is one of the most beautiful paintings ever created by Japanese artists.1 The scroll just came back from Japan after extensive restorative work. Although the handscroll itself does not bear any title, it is generally known as the Deer Scroll because the entire scroll is filled with images of deer, which are shown either singly, in couples, or in large herds. The animals are painted only in gold and/or silver ink, as is the very simple setting of sky, mist, and ground. As you may have noticed, these beautiful pictures of deer are really a background for the equally exquisite writings of waka poems in black ink. Here we have a symphony of three arts - poetry, painting, and calligraphy - as a testimonial to the ancient credo of Asia that these three arts occupy an equally important place in life and culture.

  • Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word South Puget Sound Community College Student Computing Center Written By: Chris Dorn
    Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word South Puget Sound Community College Student Computing Center Written by: Chris Dorn A header is the top margin of each page, and a footer is the bottom margin of each page. Headers and footers are useful for including material that you want to appear on every page of a document such as your name, the title of the document, or page numbers. This tutorial explains how to insert headers and footers, how to have a different header on the first page, and how to create different headers in different sections. Inserting Headers and Footers To insert a header or footer, first go to the Insert tab and select the desired option. Clicking either of these icons will display a dropdown menu with several options. SPSCC Student Computing Center__Headers and Footers __1 If you just want to add a simple header such as a title or your last name, you can choose the first option. This will bring the cursor into the header. Notice, too, that a new tab appears on the ribbon. This Design tab allows you to change certain features of the header such as the header position and page number. Design tab You can type here Once you are in the top (or bottom) margin, you can change the text formatting of the header (or footer) the same way that you would change formatting in the body of the document. For instance, if you want to center your header, you can go to the Home tab and select the center alignment icon in the Paragraph group, as pictured below: Centered header SPSCC Student Computing Center__Headers and Footers __2 Having a Different First Page Header Sometimes you may be asked to have a header that does not appear on the first page.

  • Opentype in Context Multi--Dimensional Font Support and Advanced Font Features
    52 MAPS 31 Adam T. Lindsay OpenType in ConTEXt Multi--dimensional font support and advanced font features Keywords ConTeXt fonts OpenType Abstract This is a summary of issues encountered and solutions implemented in order to support some advanced OpenType features in ConTEXt. This article describes an accompanying set of support files that address installation (using TEXFONT), accommodating extended opticals families, and some “pro” font features. The extended character set afforded by pro fonts enables support for comprehensive small caps and old--style figures. Although the typescripts and commands are described together, certain features (like variant encodings for TEXFONTand optical typescripts) can be used independently of the other features described. Introduction This article, originally produced as a ConTEXt “My Way” article, introduces some issues in installing, using, and integrating OpenType fonts in ConTEXt. OpenType has been discussed elsewhere in detail, but it should suffice to say that it is a modern melding of POSTSCRIPT and TrueType, enabling advanced typography features and Unicode support. Roman and With some of the most complex OpenType fonts, one also sees integration with C multiple design sizes. This is not necessarily unique to OpenType fonts, but is a co-- ItalicC and occurring feature seen with “premium”--quality fonts. Some of the advanced typo- Bold and graphical features seen in such fonts are integrated glyphs for small caps (across C every font variant), old style and tabulation figures, and greek glyphs, all within BoldIC the same font. This article introduces some strategies for taking advantage of small Figure 1 Small caps in caps and old style figures, and for rudimentary math fonts for fonts that include several variants greek language support.

Far from being an obsolete skill, more and more people today are picking up the pen and creating their own greeting cards, wedding invitations, fine art projects, and even creating their own computer fonts! In the old days, calligraphy tools were unique and specically crafted to their task. Today, a calligrapher has a wide variety of tools from which to choose, from traditional to completely modern, even digital! Calligraphers can now experiment with their artistic expression, freely mixing creative ideas and elements together to explore new artforms with their projects. In this book we’ll examine the basic techniques of calligraphy, covering calligraphy hands suitable for a wide variety of projects and easy for a beginner or intermediate calligrapher to practice and learn. We’ll also cover easy decorative techniques such as watercolor painting, Celtic knotwork, gold leang and illustration ideas to create a “toolkit” of creative techniques.

  • MS Word Tips and Tricks
    Writing Lab www.bellevuecollege.edu/asc/writing Microsoft Word Tips and Tricks Writing an assignment often requires special characters and formatting elements. Here are some guidelines for achieving a more polished-looking document in Word. Headers and Footers A running header is text in the top margin of every page of your document. In PC versions of MS Word (since 2007), you can just double-click your mouse in the top margin to activate the text box for the header. (1) Use the Home tab Paragraph buttons to align the text to the right, (2) type your last name (for MLA-style papers), (3) a space, (4) select the Insert tab, (5) Page Number, and (6) Current Position and Plain Number to automatically number all the pages in your document. A footer is text that appears in the bottom margin of every page. Generally, the pages of student papers are numbered in the header, but if a footer is called for, selecting a centered page number is recommended, since being an odd or even page won’t matter. In Word for Mac (since 2011), use Print Layout View, and double-click in the top margin for header access. Insert a page number aligned to “outside.” Position the right-align tab arrow to the left of the page number. On page 2, set the left tab arrow past the number box. Note: the default margins are 1.25" in Word for Mac, so they’ll likely need to be changed to 1" on all sides. Footnotes Footnotes are bibliographic citations or related notes placed beneath a short horizontal line at the bottom of a page, but not in the bottom margin.
