Microsoft Word Facilities

Word is a program that provides the user with a comprehensive set of

tools for modern word processing. It allows you to format special

documents and tables, create form letters and graphical presentations,

and to exchange data with other applications. It is an essential

program for entering and managing most text documents.

There are many advantages of using word to complete many different

tasks and these are as follows.

1. Microsoft Word is an excellent word processing package for

manipulating text documents as it provides you with an automatic spell

and grammar check plus a thesaurus. Therefore, when producing

professional documents (e.g. letters) there is less chance of error.

It also has exceptional formatting features which enable you to bold,

centre, underline, and change the layout, font and style of your

text. These facilities help to give text documents a more interesting

appeal, which will result in encouraging the reader to read the

document.

2. Microsoft Word also has the facility to produce tables but before

you can create a table, you must determine which Office program is

best suited to your task. To create a table, you can use Word,

Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft Access. Microsoft Excel and Word can

automatically format the table for you. In Microsoft Access, you can

format an entire datasheet. For a table that includes complex

graphics formatting such as bulleted lists, custom tabs, numbering,

indents, individual cell formatting, and cells split diagonally, use

Word. For a table that includes complex calculations, statistical

analysis, or charts and graphs, use Micro...

... middle of paper ...

...or a list of numbers, use Microsoft Excel or Microsoft

Access. For powerful sorting and searching capabilities, use Microsoft

Access or Microsoft Excel. For a list with full relational database

capabilities, for a large list, or for a list you can share with

others, use Microsoft Access.

If you create a data source by using the Mail Merge command on the

Tools menu, Word sets up the data source in a table. The table

contains a column for each data field in the data source. The field

names are listed in the first row of cells, the header row. Each

subsequent row contains one data record.

Before you create a list of names and addresses for a mail merge, you

must determine which Office program is best suited to your task. For a

mail merge, you can use a list you create in Word, Microsoft Access,

or Microsoft Excel.
