Creating Custom Headers and Footers in Word 2003

Headers and footers in Word can be created for the entire document, or can be customised by section. A well-designed header or footer can help guide your reader through your document, and can help keep the document organised.

To edit a header or footer, use the Insert menu to select either the Header or Footer Option. Once selected, choose Edit Header or Edit Footer.

When the header or footer of a document is editable, the remainder of the page text will be grayed, and the header or footer area will be marked with a dashed line around the editable space. You can enter and edit text, format the header or footer and resize it when the header or footer space is activated. You can also make your changes using the Header & Footer Tools' Design tab.

When formatting the header or footer, you may format the font and all text attributes; the text alignment; page numbers; document properties; field codes; clip art and pictures; and the date and time. The formatting options for the header and footer can be accessed quickly by choosing the Design menu and selecting Quick Parts. You'll find several formatting options for Page Numbers, Properties, Fields and Pictures.

Since the header and footer will apply to each page in the document, Word also offers the option of creating a different first page, and unique headers for odd and even pages. This helps when creating title pages, and symmetrical facing pages.

You can close the header or footer by clicking on the inactive document text, or by choosing Close Header from the Design menu option.

How IT Managers Can Get Better at Creating Powerpoint Slides

Yeah, yeah I know that everyone says that they hate Powerpoint - "death by Powerpoint" and all of that. However, the reality of modern IT Manger life is that we end up using Powerpoint to communicate a lot of information about our departments and the current status of our projects. Until you rise high enough in the organization to have someone on staff who creates your presentations for you, you're going to be stuck doing this yourself. Thank goodness you took all of those Powerpoint classes back in college...

What? You've never had a Powerpoint class in your life? Hmm, can I at least assume that you know about the color wheel? Dang - struck out there also? Looks like we're going to have to have a talk here.

There are some people out there that are really gifted artists. One that comes to mind is the Duarte design team over at slide:ology. However, then there is the rest of us. Powerpoint has a bunch of flashy features that lots of people like to use; however, the key is to remember that it's really a communication tool. This means that you'd like to get good enough at using it that you can get your point across in a clear way that will stick with your audience.

So how does an IT manager go about doing this? It's actually pretty simple - it will just take an investment in time. I would suggest that you find a Powerpoint presentation that you've seen that really worked for you - it communicated what it was trying to say in a concise, clear way. Then you need to sit down with a blank Powerpoint presentation and try to recreate it from scratch.

This is actually a lot harder than it might seem at first, getting all of the details of a presentation that someone else created (fonts, colors, line thicknesses, what goes on top of what else, etc.) can be a challenge. However, as you go through this copy / creation process you'll discover how a really good presentation comes together.

Creating Stylish Text With Microsoft Office 2007

By creating text as art in Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint and in the outlook editor, you can produce some spectacular effects that really enhance the look of your documents. It will allow you to twist your text into strange and wonderful shapes, and then insert the result into your object as an object. Creating this stylish text is called WordArt, and once mastered, you will be able to influence and alternate your text into three-dimensional configurations and odd shapes.

Firstly, you will need to go into the insert tab and click the word art button. This will display the gallery. Within this gallery, you will need to select the style of your choice, and select it. After you have done this, a text dialog box will appear, in this you will need to specify a font, font size and any character emphasis you want. This formatting will apply to all the text.

When you have done all of the above, type your text into the box. Remember that word art text does not wrap automatically. This means you have to press enter to start a new line. If you wish to transform existing text into word art, select the text before clicking the word art button. When finished, simply press OK and it will apply the changes you have made.

Although the way that you create stylish text is a bit different in some of the Office programmes, the method and end results are very similar. Through using word art, you can spice up your documents and make them look that much more appealing and interesting.
