We've been seeing questions about how to set up and print an envelope--not a slew of envelopes in a mail merge, but just one.

So our Word of the week is envelopes.

Let's take a look:

If your Word document contains footnotes or endnotes, Word will automatically place a small line between the body text and the note text. This line is called the note separator. You can change the footnote or endnote separator to whatever you like or you can remove it by following the steps in this video.

For more information, see Insert or create footnotes and endnotes.

Yes, it's two words--but two questions come up a lot:

●  How do you put a tab stop in a table cell?
●  How do you get those dotted underlines below the tab stops, like you see in a table of contents. (We call them "dot leaders.")

To put a tab stop in a table cell, hold down the CTRL key while you press the TAB key.

Dot leaders are just a bit more involved. We'll show you both:

While I’m obviously a fan of Word 2007, there are only a few things in Word 2007 that literally left me speechless the first time I experienced them. Picture Styles are one of those things. It’s hard to do justice to the simplicity and impact of this feature with words, so here’s my attempt to let Picture Styles speak for themselves: Insert a picture in Word 2007. You will see the Picture Tools Contextual Tab and you will be one click away from the following goodness: Simple Frame, White Beveled...

Hi, my name is Roxanne Kenison, and I'm a member of the team that publishes Help content about Word. You can get to this content by pressing the F1 key in Word, and also by going to the Help and How To page for Word 2007 on the Office Online site. My team publishes new and updated content every month, based on what's hot, what's new, or what appears to be causing confusion with Word 2007. Because Word 2007 has a lot about it that's new (new UI, new file format), much of our efforts have gone into...

In Word 2007, I was the program manager responsible for driving both the changes in the styles user experience and the investment made in lists. There a number of decisions that were made by those of us involved in those efforts that folks are still talking about (including in recent comments on this and other blogs). This post gives you some of my personal insights as to why we went in the directions we did. The goal is to provide a bit more information about both how Word works and why it works...

In today's post I am going to talk about opening or creating older file formats (.doc, .dot, .xml [Word 2003 XML Format]) in Word 2007. Opening or creating any of these older file formats in Word will result in Word being in Compatibility Mode . Going back to the first post on compatibility in Word 2007 , I am referring to the left side of the diagram. Compatibility Mode ensures that documents created from older versions of Word will look the same in Word 2007. This mode also ensures that the editing...

In my last post about Compatibility in Word 2007 I talked about Compatibility Mode and how you get into Compatibility Mode in Word 2007. In today's post I am going to talk about getting out of Compatibility Mode. Going back to the first post on Compatibility in Word 2007, I am referring to the top and right side of the diagram. While in Compatibility Mode in Word 2007 there will be a number of features affected, either by being disabled or by offering the Word 2003 version of the feature. This mode...

We get a lot of comments from people who have added a header or a footer and can't get back to the body of their document.

You have a couple of options.

• You can double-click in the body of the document.
• You can also use the Close button.

This works the same way in Word 2010 and Word 2007.

Here's what it looks like:



You can find more header and footer details in for Word 2010 in  Add or remove headers, footers, and page numbers. For Word 2007, see Insert headers and footers.
