3 Word 2007 Layout Tools Word 2007 offers many choices for laying out text inside a document. You can use section breaks to change the layout or formatting of a page or group of pages in your document. Section Breaks and Chapters If your document is divided into sections, you can vary the headers and footers so that they display different content for each section. For example, if your document is divided into chapters by using section breaks, the chapter title can be displayed in the header of each chapter. Click Drafts on the status bar. On the Home tab, in the Find group, click Go To. Click Section. Click Next to find section breaks in the document. Draft view makes it easy to see the section breaks in the document. Add section breaks 1. Starting at the beginning of the document, place the cursor at the beginning of the page where you want to start varying the header or footer. 2. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Breaks, and then under Section Breaks, click Next Page. 3. Place the cursor at the beginning of the next page where you want to vary the header or footer, such as the first page of a new chapter. Page 1 of 18

In this case, the margins of the left page are a mirror image of those of the right page (that is, the inside margins are the same width, and the outside margins are the same width). Add a book fold: Using the Book fold option in the Page Setup dialog box, you can create a booklet. You can use the same option to create a menu, invitation, event program, or any other type of document that uses a single center fold. Page 3 of 18

Tab Stops Tab stops are often used to create easy-to-format documents but the document layout options in Word 2007 can do the work for you. For example, you can easily create a table of contents or an index without setting a single tab stop. A Left Tab stop sets the start position of text that will then run to the right as you type. A Center Tab stop sets the position of the middle of the text. The text centers on this position as you type. A Right Tab stop sets the right end of the text. As you type, the text moves to the left. A Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Independent of the number of digits, the decimal point will be in the same position. (You can align numbers around a decimal character only; you cannot use the decimal tab to align numbers around a different character, such as a hyphen or an ampersand symbol.) A Bar Tab stop doesn't position text. It inserts a vertical bar at the tab position. If you want your tab stops at precise positions that you can't get by clicking the ruler, or if you want to insert a specific character (leader) before the tab, you can use the Tabs dialog box. To display the Tabs dialog box, double-click any tab stop on the ruler, or do the following: 1. On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher. 2. In the Paragraph dialog box, click Tabs. Page 12 of 18
