Business Computing Tips

By K&K Fainges kfainges@...


The VIEW menu option in Word is often completely forgotten, but can
be quite handy.

Take a large document where you need to look for one bit but you
can't remember a word or phrase that you can do a search on. You can
go up to VIEW and change the view to outline. That shrinks the
document to just the headings.

Then you can do a quick skim and often find things much faster.

Or check the web view, or print view, to see what bits disappear when
you go to publish.

Toolbars are controlled from here too. If you need a toolbar and you
can't see it, go to VIEW => TOOLBARS and make sure it is checked by
clicking on it so a tick appears by the name. If you are not sure
which toolbar does what, then tick them all and just get rid of the
ones you don't want by clicking the small x in the top right hand
corner of the toolbar. We covered more on toolbars in K-tips before
in macros and the basics.

More on VIEW next time.
