No matter how long you have been using Microsoft Word 2003 for, these
simple tips are sure to help you save considerable amounts of time.
Change Personalized Toolbar and Menu
Setting:
Change the default setting which keep you from seeing all the menu commands
and toolbar buttons. Usually, one has only a single row of commands and it
takes a few seconds for the other commands to expand after being clicked.
Follow these steps to avoid this inconvenience:
1. Go to Tools >
Customize and select the options tab.
2. In Personalized Menus and
Toolbars, click on "Show Formatting and Standard Toolbars on two
rows" and "Always show full menus." Please remember that the
descriptions relating to these options will be different in Word 2000.
3. You will be able to
see the entire menu when you close.
Discontinue automatic text changes:
Autocorrect is responsible for Word changing the spellings or cases while
you type. It not only corrects the spellings of words but also capitalizes the
first letter of a sentence. To alter these settings, go to Tools >
AutoCorrect Options and uncheck the options which you do not wish to see from
the AutoCorrect tab.
Cancel Automatic numbered Lists
It is highly problematic for someone to create a custom layout while
working with Word as both the numbering as well as the formatting change as
soon as you type enter. Also, an email address or a website immediately gets
hyperlinked and fractions get reformatted. These AutoFormat settings can be
changed in the following manner:
1. Go to Tools and select
AutoCorrect options.
2. Select AutoFormat and
unselect the last sections comprising of the numbered list option.
3. Click OK to save
settings.
Change your default font:
If you find yourself wasting time in changing the font every time, go ahead
and alter the default font like this:
1. Start a new Word file.
2. Click on Format >
Font and change the font and size as per your preference.
3. Click on default
instead of OK for the changes to be applicable even after you close the current
document.
4. There will be a prompt
confirming if you want the default font to be changed. Click on Yes.
Suit Page Layout and Margins to your
needs:
The custom margin setting for Word has been constant since Word 1.0. in
order to save time wasted in changing margins every time, one can:
1. Open a new Word file.
2. Go to File > Page
Setup and click on Margins tab.
3. Change the margins as
per specific requirements.
4. Make any other
necessary changes like Paper source or custom footer.
5. Click on the Default
button,
6. Click OK when the
confirmation prompt appears.
After the completion of these custom settings, all the time spent on
altering the Word settings can be saved.
