Breaks
• Word has the ability to create two types of breaks
• Page Breaks – Useful for breaking the text for better document flow
• Section Breaks – Serve as indicators for different sections
• Useful for multi-document Word files
• Scientific Journals
Table of Content Generation
• The Table of Content generator in word is based off of the
correct use of styles
• The ToC button is located on the References tab
• There are options to modify which styles are represented
in the ToC
Table of Content Generation
• Insert a page break after the title page
• On the new blank page, generate a ToC
• Notice that the title of the document “Designing a Web
Site” is present at the top level of the ToC
• Modify the ToC so that only headings are displayed
Footnotes
• Footnotes are used to provide extraneous information
about a piece of information in your document
• They can either provide further explanation or link to a
source where more information can be found
• Footnote generation is done through the References tab
Footnotes
• In the Consistency section, add a footnote with the
following text after the word “locations.”
• Kaylene Durocher, “ABCs of Web Site Consistency,” Web Site
Magazine 7 (2005): 33-34.
• In the yellow section of text in the Appropriate
Background, add a footnote after the word “resolutions.”
• Cheyenne Kinyon, “Color, Background, and Themes: Making Wise
Decisions,” Web Guidelines and Conventions Monthly 12 (2005):
166-167.
Quick Parts and Headers/Footers
• Quick Parts are variables inside Microsoft Word that hold
specific pieces of information such as the document title
or author name
• By using quick parts, you can modify the contents of said
variables once and the changes will be reflected wherever
that quick part is used elsewhere in the document
Quick Parts and Headers/Footers
• Create a new header
• Inside this header we wish to display the name of the
document, the author, and the page number.
• You may need to change the author name to display the
correct name
• File Tab -> Document Properties
Captions
• When including multimedia elements in your documents,
it is always a good idea to provide a brief description
about the image/movie
• Captions can be introduced by choosing Add Caption in
the context menu
• Add appropriate captions to the images in the document
Equation Editor
• Newer versions of Word can display mathematical
formulas in a way which preserves operators and other
markup
• After the word “formula” in the Availability section add the
following formula using the equation editor:
• 𝑈𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 =
𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑈𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑈𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

pages for you automatically if you maintain your sources
in the Source Manager.
