Welcome to Microsoft Word 2010 In Depth! This book is designed to be your one-stop reference for Microsoft Word 2010, from the basics of Ribbon usage to the intricacies of forms, fields, and customization tools. Whether youre just getting started, are upgrading, or are already a Word whiz, this book can help you move up to the next level in expertise.

Microsoft Word 2010 In Depth is organized into these parts.

This part explains how to create a basic document by typing and editing text, saving in various formats, correcting your mistakes, and printing your work. These basic skills will pave the way to more extensive editing later in the book.

In this part, youll learn how to format documents on several levels: character, paragraph, and document-wide. Youll discover how to automate formatting with styles and themes; how to set up sections that enable different margin, column, and header/footer information in different parts of a document; and how to use and create project templates that streamline the process of formatting documents that you frequently re-create. Youll also learn how to create some nonstandard documents, such as banners, envelopes, and greeting cards.

This part explains how to create and format data in tabular format and how to insert and format a variety of special-purpose graphical elements including clip art, drawings, charts, SmartArt, and mathematical equations. Most of these graphics types have formatting controls in common, so after youve learned how to format one type of object, the other types become much easier.
