type iconMore Excel 2007 for Windows

type iconWord Processing With Style
An Introduction to Styles in Word 2007. Do you produce multipage documents with sections and subheadings? Do you find yourself spending more time working on the formatting than on the content? Microsoft Word is a styles-based word processor that provides powerful document formatting at the click of the mouse. Understanding the way styles and document themes work can give you better control over the way your documents look and open doors to features you may not be aware of.

This workshop is not an introduction to using Word. We will focus on using, modifying, and creating styles and document themes in Word 2007. While the principles of styles apply to earlier versions of Word, including Mac, this workshop will demonstrate the use of this feature with the Word 2007 interface.
