http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx Bulleted Lists Create Bullets with Special Bullet Symbols in Word 97/2000 In Microsoft Word 97/2000, you are no longer limited to the bullet symbols listed in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. Instead, you can use almost any symbol for your bullet that is available with the fonts you have installed. To change the bullet character, click in the paragraph you want bulleted, and then click Bullets and Numbering on the Format menu. Select a bullet format, and then click Customize. Under Bullet Character, click the Bullet button. In the Symbol dialog box, select the font that has the symbol you want to use, click the appropriate symbol, and then click OK.

Then select and insert the picture bullet you want. For example: Keyboard Shortcuts Useful Shortcut Keys in Word 2000 Do you find that using the keyboard is sometimes quicker than using your mouse? Shortcut keys can help you bypass menus and carry out commands directly. You can use shortcut keys in many ways with Word, from accessing commands and toolbar buttons to repeating your last action. Shortcut keys are sometimes listed next to the command name on Word menus. For example, on the Edit menu, the Find command lists the shortcut CTRL+F. 3
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx For a comprehensive list of shortcuts, ask the Office Assistant for help. In Word 2000 or any of the other Office 2000 applications, press F1 to display the Assistant, and then type shortcut keys in the text box.

Moving Text and Graphics Move Text and Graphics with the Microsoft Word 2000 Spike What is the simplest way to move multiple items from different parts of your document to another place in the document or to another document? If you're using Word 2000, just spike the items. The Spike allows you to cut multiple items and paste them as a group in a new location in your document or to another document. Every time you use the Spike, Word appends the item to a file until you empty the Spike. To move text and graphics with the Spike 4
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx 1. Select an item you want to move, and then press CTRL+F3. Repeat this step until all the items are on the Spike. 2. Click a place in the current document, or in a new document, where you want to paste the items. 3. Do one of the following: If you want to paste the items once and empty the Spike, press CTRL+SHIFT+F3. If you want to paste the items multiple times, type spike, and then press F3. Navigating Documents Navigate Documents by Using Browse Buttons in Word 97/2000 A quick way to move around Microsoft Word 97/2000 documents when you're focusing on one type of information, such as tables, is to click the browse buttons on the vertical scroll bar to jump from one table to the next. To select a browse option, click Select Browse Object on the vertical scroll bar, point to any button on the Browse Object palette to see its description, and then click a button to set it as the browse option. When you select a button other than Browse by Page, the browse buttons on the vertical scroll bar turn blue to indicate that you've set a special option. To find the previous or next instance of the object you've selected, click the Previous or Next browse buttons. If you forget which option you've selected, point to one of the browse buttons to see a ScreenTip that describes the selected option. 5
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx Saving and Closing Documents Close or Save All Open Word 97/2000 Documents at Once From within Microsoft Word 97/2000, you can close or save all the documents you have open at once. Just hold down the SHIFT key as you click the File menu, and then click Close All or Save All. Save a Web Page as a Word Document in Word 2000 If you create a Web page in Word 2000 and then decide that it should be in regular document format instead, you can save the Web page as a Word document. Open the Web page in Word and click Save As (File menu). In the File name box, type a new name for the document. In the Save as type box, click Word Document, and then click Save. Use the Windows Taskbar to Close Multiple Documents at Once If you are running Windows® 98 (or if you have installed the Internet Explorer 4.0 Windows Desktop Update for Windows 95), you can close multiple windows at once, such as open Word 97/2000 documents, right from your Windows taskbar. Just hold down the CTRL key while you click each taskbar window that you want to close. Next, right-click any of the windowsyou just selected, and then click Close. You might be prompted to save any changes to your documents. Typing Keep Words on the Same Line in Word 97/2000 When you type a proper name such as "John Smith" near the end of a line in Word 97/2000, Word may separate the words, putting "John" at the end of one line, and "Smith" at the beginning of the next line. To keep words together on the same line, insert a nonbreaking space between them. For example, type John, enter a nonbreaking space by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR, and then type Smith. Use Click and Type to Work Where You Want to in Word 2000 6
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx Use Click and Type in Microsoft Word 2000 to quickly insert text in a blank area of a page - without entering tabs or pressing ENTER to place the cursor where you want to start working. You must work in either print layout view or Web layout view to use Click and Type. In either view, move the I-beam pointer around the page and double-click where you want to insert text. As you move the pointer around the page, the Click and Type pointer shape indicates the formatting style that will be applied in different areas. For example, depending on where you double-click, the formatting styles might be Align Left, Center, or Align Right. What's This? Point When You Need Paragraph Formatting Information If you want information on how your paragraph is formatted, you can get it quickly with What's This? (on the Help menu) in Microsoft Word 2000. Word provides paragraph and font information, such as how far the paragraph is indented and its alignment, and the font used in the paragraph or the font used for a specific character. To view the format settings for a paragraph or a specific character 1. On the Help menu, click What's This? 2. When the pointer changes to a question mark, click the paragraph or character you want information about. 3. To exit the What's This? dialog box, press ESC. Finding Synonyms in Word 2000: A Right-Click Away 7
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx When you're looking for the right word to express what you want to say, or if the same word shows up too many times in a paragraph or section of a document, there's a new way to get suggestions for alternative words from the thesaurus in Microsoft Word 2000. Selecting Alternative Words You can find a common synonym for a word you'd like to change by right-clicking the word, pointing to Synonyms on the shortcut menu, and then clicking the synonym in the list that you want to use. Word will insert the new word in your document. For example, if "excellent" is used too frequently in the first page of a document, right-click excellent in the sentence you want to change. Check the list of words offered and select an alternative, such as "outstanding." Outstanding will automatically replace excellent in the selected sentence. Note Synonyms is not available on the shortcut menu when you right-click words in a bulleted or numbered list, on misspelled words, or on hyperlinks. Save Paper When You Print a Word Document We all hate to waste paper. Although Microsoft Word 2000 has a variety of ways to preview your document online, sometimes you need to see a printed copy. One way to save paper is to print your document on both sides of the paper. However, not all printers have the ability to print two-sided pages. Fortunately, Word 2000 has a new feature that can help you print your document using less paper. 8
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx Use Zoom to Print Multiple Pages on Each Sheet With the Zoom feature in Word 2000, you can select two or more pages of a document to print on a single sheet of paper. The formatting and page layout of the document does not change. Word reduces the size of each printed page to fit the number of pages that you select to print on each sheet of paper. For example, you just changed margins and added different odd- and even-page headers and footers to a 121-page document. You want to see how this new layout changes the overall look of your document but you do not want to waste 121 pieces of paper. With Zoom, you can print multiple pages of your document on a single sheet of paper, allowing you to review the document's overall layout. Of course, when you reduce the scale of the page on the printout, the text and graphics become smaller and more difficult to view. Using Zoom is easy. It only affects your current print job and does not modify any document settings. When you are ready to print your document, click Print on the 9
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx File menu. Under Zoom, select the option you want in the Pages per sheet box. For example, to print four pages of your document on each sheet, click 4 pages. The result is that you can view a reduced version of your printed document by using a lot less paper. Save Preview Pictures of Your Documents in Word 97/2000 A handy way to refresh your memory about the contents of a file is to save the Microsoft Word 97/2000 document with a preview picture of the first page. Before you save the document, you simply set the document Properties to save a preview picture. Then you can view the first page in the preview pane on the Open dialog box without opening the document. To save a preview picture 1. On the File menu, click Properties. 2. On the Summary tab, select the Save preview picture check box. After you save and close the document, you can view the preview picture whenever you are in the Open dialog box. 10
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx To view the preview picture 1. On the File menu, click Open. 2. In the Look in box, select the file folder with the document you just saved. 3. In the folders list, select the file you just saved. 4. Do one of the following: In Word 97, click Preview. In Word 2000, click the arrow next to the Views menu, and then click Preview. To remove the Save preview picture property 1. On the File menu, click Properties. 2. On the Summary tab, clear the Save preview picture check box. Note When Save preview picture is not selected, you are able to view the entire document in the preview pane. You might not want to select the option if you have a small monitor that makes the picture difficult to see in the preview pane. Use Nonbreaking Spaces and Nonbreaking Hyphens in Word2000 There are times when you are working in a document and need to control how text wraps at the end of a line. For example, you may want a customer's first and last name to appear on the same line. Or, you may want a hyphenated word or a telephone number to appear on one line. You can fine-tune the appearance of text in a document by inserting nonbreaking spaces and nonbreaking hyphens. Inserting Nonbreaking Spaces and Nonbreaking Hyphens If you need to prevent a line break between two words, you can insert a nonbreaking space between the words. If you have a hyphenated word or number that cannot be separated by a line break, insert a nonbreaking hyphen. To insert a nonbreaking space or nonbreaking hyphen 1. Click where you want to insert the nonbreaking space or nonbreaking hyphen. 2. Do one of the following: If you want to insert a nonbreaking space, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR. If you want to insert a nonbreaking hyphen, press CTRL+SHIFT+HYPHEN. If the entire phrase or hyphenated item doesn't fit on the current line, Word 2000 moves it to the beginning of the next line. 11
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx Note If you save a document in the Web Page format by using the Save As dialog box in Word 2000, nonbreaking spaces are converted to HTML. Nonbreaking hyphens, however, are not supported in HTML. Viewing Nonbreaking Spaces and Nonbreaking Hyphens If you want to view the nonbreaking spaces or nonbreaking hyphens in a document, turn on formatting marks in Word 2000 by clicking Show/Hide on the Standard toolbar. Word 2000 uses a degree symbol (Â°) to represent a nonbreaking space and a double-length hyphen to represent a nonbreaking hyphen. If you want to view the nonbreaking spaces in an HTML document by using your Web browser, click Source on the View menu. Nonbreaking spaces appear as   in the document. Searching for Nonbreaking Spaces and Nonbreaking Hyphens You can search for nonbreaking spaces and nonbreaking hyphens in a Word 2000 document by using the Find and Replace dialog box. To search for nonbreaking spaces and nonbreaking hyphens 1. On the Edit menu, click Find. 2. Do one of the following: In the Find what box, type ^s to search for nonbreaking spaces or ^~ to search for nonbreaking hyphens, and then click Find Next. Click More and then Special. Click Nonbreaking Space or Nonbreaking Hyphen, and then click Find Next. Prevent loss of work and recover lost documents Specify a location for automatically recovered files 1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the File Locations tab. 2. In the File types box, click AutoRecover files. 3. Click Modify. 4. If you want to store automatically recovered files in a different folder, locate and open the folder. Note If you use Microsoft Word on a computer running Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98, automatically recovered files are by default stored in the Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Word folder. If you use Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or later, or you use a computer on which there is more than one active user profile, automatically recovered files are stored in the Windows\Profiles\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word folder. 12
http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000.aspx Recover a document that was saved automatically To recover work after a power failure or similar problem, you must have the Save AutoRecover info every check box selected on the Save tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu) before the problem occurs. 1. Restart Microsoft Word. All documents that were open at the time of the power failure or similar problem appear for you. Only changes you made after the last AutoRecover save are lost. 2.

Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each recovery file. Any recovery files that you don't save are deleted when you quit Word. I turned on the AutoRecover feature before I lost my document, but I can't save or open the recovery file. 1. Start Microsoft Word. 2. Click Open. 3.
