How to Customize This Manual

The “icon key” at left was produced using the Heading 8 Style for
the words “icon key,” and the List Bullet 5 Style for the text below
—which uses a Wingdings symbol for the bullet character. To
change the bullet symbol, double-click the bullet. Select a new
symbol or create a custom bullet.

About the “Picture” Icons

The “picture” icons are Wingdings typeface symbols formatted in
white with a shaded background. To insert a new symbol,

OK to accept your choice.

Section Breaks are Key

In this manual, section breaks are the secret to success. Open the
File menu and click Page Setup... to activate the Page Setup
menu. Choose the Margins tab. As you can see, this section
(page) has margins of 1.25 inches top and bottom, 2.33 left, and
.83 right—with headers and footers of .67 inches. Special section
margins make it possible for this manual to use framed Styles—
such as the Icon 1 Style—which will move with the text.

• Breaks in a Word document appear as “labeled,” dotted

double-lines.

• To insert a section break,

choose Break from the Insert menu.
Select one option, and click OK to accept your choice.

About Pictures and Captions

Assuming you see your paragraph marks, you’ll notice a
paragraph mark attached to the bottom right corner of the
picture. Click on the picture, and notice too, the name of the Style
—not surprisingly, the Picture Style. Pictures “attached” to
paragraph Styles make it possible for pictures to “act” like
paragraphs.

This is Heading 5.
Like all Styles in
this margin, it can
flow with the text.

FIGURE 21.1 uses this caption text. In Word, the Caption Style can be automatically numbered
and labeled. Select References then Caption from the Insert menu to access and control the caption

To cut and paste framed text, click on the bounding border of the
frame to reveal the frame handles. Press Ctrl-X to cut the frame
from the page. Click your cursor before the first letter of the
paragraph that you would like the frame to appear next to. Press
Ctrl-V to paste the frame next to the paragraph.

How to Generate a Table of Contents

To create a Table of Contents, position your cursor before the
word, “introduction.” Holding the Shift key down, drag and select
both columns of text up to and including the paragraph mark
attached to the “Index” entry (last line, second column). From the
Insert menu, choose References then Index and Tables. Click on
the Table of Contents tab. The Table of Contents will be
automatically updated with words contained in Headings 1-3.

Note

The sample TOC text uses the Section Heading Style to

create chapter headings. However, the headings must be
manually typed and formatted with the Section Heading

Style. (“Note” text uses the Block Quotation First Style for the
heading, and the Block Quotation Style for the text.)
