Making everything fit on one page.

There have probably been times when you come to the end of you document, and you find that you have a few words or sentences that have overflowed to the next page. In that case, you can make MS Word shrink the font just enough so that there won't be any extra words or sentences left and everything will fit on the last page. You can do this by simply:

  • Opening Print Preview in the File menu.
  • Then click the Shrink to Fit button in the toolbar.
  • This is the button that has three sheets of paper on it, one is blue, one gray, and one white.
  • Word will automatically resize the font so that there are no more stray sentences or words when you click this button.
  • Make sure you look at the document before you print, because the font might be rather small.

 


 

Quickly jumping to a specific page in a Word document.

While working in a long document, you may want to quickly jump to a certain page. To do this, simply click and hold your mouse on the slider of the scrollbar. Word will supply a little message letting you know what page you are on now. Next, drag the scrollbar up or down and Word will jump to that page immediately.

 

 


 

Send a quick pic(ture)


When you see a graphic on the Web site that you must send to a friend right away, press CTRL+ M, than drag and drop the graphic. This immediately opens a New Message Composition window. Now grab the image and drop it into the message body. That’s it - address and send the message as you would normally.
