– Outline view – displays a document as headings
and subheadings, indented to show the
document structure
• You can create an outline by applying built-in
heading styles or outline levels to each paragraph
– Heading style – specifies formatting
characteristics and an outline level
– Outline level – a paragraph format that assigns
a hierarchical level to selected paragraphs,
creating an outline hierarchy
Creating Outlines

through Level 9
• You can modify and rearrange an outline by
switching to Outline view and using the Outlining
toolbar
• You can use the buttons on the Outlining toolbar
to rearrange the hierarchy of the outline and to
control the level of detail displayed
• You can also use the Document Map to control the
level of detail displayed
Collapsing and
Expanding Outlines
• You can control the level of detail displayed in
Outline view by collapsing or expanding the
outline
• When you collapse a level within an outline, you
hide the subheadings and body text below that
level
• When you expand a level within an outline, you
redisplay the subheadings and body text below
that level
• You can collapse and expand outlines using the
Outlining toolbar or the Document Map
Formatting Documents
in Outline View
• You can modify heading styles and numbering
automatically in Outline view
• You can use the Outlined Numbered card of the
Bullets and Numbering dialog box to apply and
modify numbers to outline headings
Editing Documents
in Outline View

page numbers, and date and time codes
Creating First Page
Headers and Footers
• You can create a header or footer on the first page
of a document that differs from the headers and
footers in the rest of the document
• You specify a different first page header and footer
using the Layout card of the Page Setup dialog
box
• First page headers and footers are initially blank
• You can leave the first page headers and footers
blank or enter any other text or graphics
• If header or footer text was previously entered for
the first page, it is deleted
Alternating Headers
and Footers
• Use alternating headers and footers to specify
different information for odd- and even-numbered
pages
• You specify alternating headers and footers using
the Layout card of the Page Setup dialog box
• Alternating headers and footers are useful when a
document will be bound as a book with facing
pages
Working with Page Numbering
• Two ways are available to add page numbers to
the header or footer area of documents:

Move tables
Creating Tables
• Table – a collection of text and/or graphics displayed in rows
and columns
• Cell – a table element in which you enter data or graphics.
Each cell is the intersection of a row and column.
• You can create tables by:
– Using the Insert Table feature
– Using the Draw Table tool
– Using the Insert Table dialog box
• You can modify tables using the tools in the Tables and
Borders toolbar
Entering Text into Table Cells
• Text you type automatically wraps within each cell
• If text wraps to additional lines, the cell height changes to
accommodate the text, but the column width stays the same
• You can manually adjust row heights and column widths
• To enter text, position the insertion point in a cell and type
• To move to:
– The next cell – press TAB
– The previous cell – press SHIFT+TAB
– Other cells – use the arrow keys or click on a cell
• To revise cell data, select the text and type new text
Performing Calculations
on Table Data
• To perform calculations on table data, you reference cells by
their column letters and row numbers
– Columns are denoted alphabetically from left to right
– Rows are denoted numerically from top to bottom
– The top-left cell is cell A1
• You can use the Formula dialog box to enter formulas or
functions into the active cell
– Formula – an expression that performs a specified
calculation on table data
– Function – a pre-defined formula that performs a special
calculation, such as summing a specified range of cells
– Active cell – the cell that contains the insertion point
Performing Calculations on
Table Data (cont’d)
• Formulas must begin with an equal sign (=)
• Formulas can contain mathematical operators:
– Addition (+)
– Subtraction (-)
– Multiplication (*)
– Division (/)
• =C1+C2+C3 sums the first three cells in column C
• You can use the Formula dialog box to specify a
number format for the calculation results
Moving Tables
• To move a table, drag its move handle to a new
location in the document
• You can move a table into a blank area of the
document or into blocks of text
• When you move a table into a block of text, the
text wraps around the table by default
• You can use the Table card of the Table Properties
dialog box to:
– Specify left, right or center alignment for a table
– Activate or deactivate text wrapping

Inserting Section Breaks
• Be default, new documents contain one column
that spans the width of the page
• To create a multiple-column format in a portion of
a document, you must divide the document into
sections
– Section – a portion of a document with its own
page formatting characteristics, separated from
the rest of the document by section breaks
• Use the Break dialog box to insert section breaks
Inserting Section Breaks
(cont’d)
• You can start a new section:
– On the following page
– Immediately following the current section
without a page break
– On the next even-numbered page
– On the next odd-numbered page
• In a multiple-section document, the current section
number displays in the status bar
Formatting Sections as
Multiple Columns
• You can apply a multiple-column format to any
section in a document
– Use the Columns button in the Standard toolbar
to specify the number of columns to insert
– When you apply column formatting, the
changes affect only the section that contains
the insertion point
• If you have not yet inserted sections, you can
select text, then use the Columns button to specify
column formatting. Section breaks will be inserted
automatically.
Entering and Editing Text
in Columns
• Text in columns flows the same way as text in
regular paragraphs
• You enter and edit text in columns just as you
would any other text
• When you reach the bottom of a column, the text
automatically flows to the top of the next column
• By default, the columns are balanced to occupy
the same amount of space
Formatting Columns
• Column formatting you can modify includes:
– Forcing text to begin in a new column
– Preventing page breaks between paragraphs
– Changing the number of columns in a section
– Adjusting column width and spacing
• To force text to the top of a new column, insert a
column break
• To adjust column width and spacing, use the
Columns dialog box
Removing Columns and
Section Breaks
• To restore a single-column format, select the section(s) to be
changed, click the Columns button, and select one column in
the palette
• Section breaks are not removed when you restore a singlecolumn format
• To remove a section break, locate the break in Normal view,
select it, then delete it
• You can remove section breaks to allow two contiguous
sections to share the same column format; the format of the
section beneath the break takes precedence
