Alterations in 2010

Although Microsoft ‘office’ 2010 looks much like Office 2007, there are a handful of changes:

• T he Office Button is just about the File Ribbon at work 2010. The File Ribbon contains such standard features as Open, Close, Print, Save, etc. Additionally, this menu enables you to definitely rapidly manage Word settings (Permissions, Discussing, Versions, Qualities, and Options).
• Inside the View Ribbon, within the Show Group, there’s a brand new choice to view Headings of the document inside a sidebar.
• Inside the Navigation Pane, you are able to click a heading to visit that location and move products by dragging and shedding. Observe that only products having a “Heading” style can look within the Navigation Pane (see Dealing with Styles ) .

Tips

• If you are using EndNote to handle your citations and make your bibliography, only use one EndNote library for the entire dissertation (see guides.lib.umich.edu/x3).
• Use styles to manage the formatting of the dissertation and make up a template to make use of for all your chapters. The majority of this document involves using styles.
  • Set the margins such as the two-inch margin for chapters titles ( Setting Margins ) .
  • Define styles for Headings 1-3, Normal, Captions, and Quotes they are most typical you might need others (Dealing with Styles ).
