Maybe you love color-coding. I know I do. But the Word shading colors that are available in the Highlight command can be limiting. You can run out of colors quickly, because there aren't very many.

But there's a way to color-code your document with all the colors shown here...

You can further refine the look of the styles in your document switching out the fonts or colors used by selecting new sets from the Change Styles menu. For longer, printed documents, you may prefer to use Cambria rather than Calibri as your body font because fonts like Cambria (called Serif fonts) make printed documents more readable. The default font pair is at the top of the menu (Cambria/Calibri) and the reverse usage (Calibri/Cambria) is located about halfway down. With the choices provided...

It's hard to believe that it's 2012 already! Now it's time for this year's calendar to keep track of dates and plan your days. We have some wonderful new Word calendars to help you do just that.  All of these calendars take advantage of familiar Word 2010 features to let you design your own calendar.

Grouping objects in Word can be tricky if you don't know the rules. The catch is that all of the objects you are grouping must be floating objects. Some objects are inserted as inline objects by default in Word and others as floating objects.

Thankfully, it's a pretty simple matter to convert each object to a floating object, and then group them.

A common customer request is to create a copyright watermark for a photograph you want to share. We'll create the watermark with WordArt, place it on the photo, and then group the watermark and the photo so they are a single object.

A cool new feature we have added in Word 2007 is the ability to reuse content easily in order to help you put together great looking documents. We call this feature building blocks . Building blocks are essentially parts of a document that can be reused. For example, a company logo with a textual slogan can be stored as a reusable cover page. Word 2007 provides a collection of common building blocks presented in visual galleries out of the box. All building block galleries use a rich thumbnail image...

The Word 2010 gallery makes adding a basic table of contents quick: Click the References tab, click Table of Contents, and then click the gallery table of contents you want.

But what if you want more? What if your table of contents needs to provide different information--more levels, or fewer levels? What if you want a table of contents at the beginning of each chapter? What if you want to change the font?

Here are some of the ways you can customize your table of contents.

It’s been awhile, but for what it’s worth, the time has been spent planning a great Word vNext. Stay tuned for vNext posts. Anyway, while we have been working on vNext, we have certainly not forgotten about Word vNow (Word 2007) or Word vPast (Word 2003, XP, or 2000). In fact, during a trip I took last week to visit my family in Chicago and Columbus, OH, I spent a few hours familiarizing my mother, father, and brother with Word 2007 and was re-inspired to help ease the transition to Word 2007. I...
