Features of Ms-Word
 CHECKING SPELLING: You can correct your spelling
errors all in one go, to ensure you haven’t left any stone
unturned. This can be done by running a full Word spell
check from the Review tab, Proofing group, Spelling and
Grammar button (or press the F7 keyboard shortcut).
 UTILISING THE BENEFITS OF MAIL MERGE: This
feature allows us to send out bulk emails, but
consequently with unique elements. For example, we could
produce a series of labels or envelopes for a large mailing,
an email or letter that includes names and addresses and
other details or a ‘directory’.
 3) FIND & REPLACE – Save precious time with this
effective Word feature. Word Replace can search for all
occurrences of a particular word, phrase or set of characters
and replace them with an alternative. You will be given the
option to replace all occurrences or to move through them
individually, accepting or rejecting each change.
 INSERTING WATERMARKS – If you’re sending an
important document or draft sample, you want to be able
to protect your content without having to edit much of it.
Insert a watermark specific to your objectives via the page
layout button. You can also customise your own watermark,
and also insert your own picture. This is great to insert your
brand logo, for reports your business may produce or any
other document.
 5) INSERTING YOUR HEADER & FOOTER – It’s
important to use the space in your header and footer to
save space in other areas of your document. This also
makes your file have a professional look that can
include the page numbers across the whole document
for example. However, what people don’t seem to take
advantage of, is the fact that they can insert images,
more specifically a company logo or an image in
context with the document's overall theme.
 USING HYPERLINKS STRATEGICALLY – One of the
best ways to give your Word document that extra
cutting edge is to insert hyperlinks on images and text
to make your document interactive (by right clicking
on the text/image and clicking hyperlink, you can then
select where you wish to direct the user to) where
possible. A great way to further utilise this tool, is to
direct users to another article or web page that has
your digital footprint all over.
 Macro: In Word, you can automate frequently used
tasks by creating and running macros. A macro is a
series of commands and instructions that you group
together as a single command to accomplish a task
automatically.
