Word 2007 Tabs Tips and Tricks

Did you know...

it is easy to set tabs in Word 2007?

First, you need a little information. This is the tab selector button with the left tab showing.

It is found between the horizontal ruler at the top of your page and the vertical ruler on the left side. You need to be sure your ruler is showing. If it is not click on the View tab...

Click on Ruler

See? There is the selector tab to the left of the horizontal ruler

When you click on the tab selector button it changes. It toggles through the various types of tabs available to you. There are several, we will only talk about the most common:

Left- it is the default tab showing most of the time (unless you change it). When you set a left tab the text will move to the right as you type

Center-the text will center over the tab

Right-the text will move to the left when you use the right tab

Decimal-the text will align over the decimal point, generally used for dollar amounts

To set a tab, simply get the type of tab you want showing on the tab selector and then click on the ruler where you want the tab

If you were typing a list like this:

You would set a left tab for the first column, a center tab for the second column, a decimal tab for the third column and a right tab for the fourth column. The tabs on your ruler will look something like this.

To remove a tab, simply click and drag the tab off the ruler onto the page. It will go away.

As with all things in Microsoft, there is another method. You can open the Tabs setting window and set your tabs there if you know where you want them on the ruler.To open the Tabs setting window click on the selector arrow on the Paragraphs group (found on the Home Tab)

The Paragraph formatting window will pop up, you then need to click on the Tabs button at the bottom.

The Tab setting window opens, here you can simply type in the position on the ruler and click Set.

You can also set dot leader tabs by selecting the dots under the Leader section.

The important thing to remember is that each time you enter a tab you must click on set before closing this window or the tabs will not be set for you.

You can also use the window to easily clear all tabs.

As always, if you have questions, feel free to send me an email

Word 2007 - Page Numbering Problem

Did you know...


You can manipulate the page numbering for a document?


Here is the problem. The document has three introductory pages before the actual text starts:

1. Cover Page
2. List of Attendees
3. Table of Contents
4. Actual document starts on the 4th physical page.This exercise is to just start numbering on the 4th page, but make the number a ONE (1) not a 4.

This is a simple process, but requires a little knowledge of where things are in Word 2007. Here are the steps to follow to accomplish this task.

You must insert a section break after each page.

• At the end of the text on the Cover page--Go to Page Layout
• Click on Breaks

• Click on Section Break NEXT PAGE (Do this for each page that may have different numbering. In my sample, I did it for the first 3 pages)

• Click on Insert
• Click on Footer

• Click on Edit footer

• Click on Next Section. You will see "Same as Previous" on the right side of your footer. Same as Previous is evil. Take it off by doing the following step.

• Click on Link to Previous so it doesn't look highlighted any more. See the before and after pictures.

• Repeat the last two steps for Page 2 and Page 3 (That is: Next Section and take off Link to Previous)
• After doing that for the first 3 pages, you should be on Page 4 and you want it to be number 1
• Click on Page Number
• Click on Format Numbers

• Tell it to START AT 1.
• Click OK

• Click on Page Number
• Click on Current Position
• Then Click on Plain Number

If you did it right, you will only have a page number on page 4 and the number should be a 1.

Once the number code is in the document, it will give you continuous numbering on subsequent pages without any further effort on your part. You can also center it, change the font, make it bold, etc.
