    2 Word 2007 Tutorials

    Here are 2 Word 2007 Tutorials at Brown University. These Word Tutorials explain some of the advanced topics in Word, namely Mail Merge and Special Page Numbering.


    Word 2007 Tutorial on Mail Merge, Merge Fields and Rules
    Mail Merge is a process by which a series of documents can be created from a single template and a data source. The data for each document is procured from the data source and inserted into placeholders for the specified data. This tutorial discuss setting up of the data source, framing the document, establishing a connection to the data source and finally previewing your document. Also explained are advanced Mail Merge topics such as Conditional Text Rules and Merge Fields.

    The General Process:
     - Setting Up the Excel Source
     - Setting Up the Letter
     - Starting the Mail Merge
     - Connecting to the Excel File
     - Inserting a Merge Field
     - Previewing the Results
     - Finishing Up

    More Advanced Tricks:
     - Using Preformatted Blocks
     - Conditional Text (Rules)
     - Viewing Merge Fields
     - Inserting Merge Fields in Rules / Manually Editing Merge Code

    Example: Planning a Nested Conditional:
     - First Conditional – Have you met them?
     - Second Conditional – If you met them, when did you last see them?


    Word 2007 Tutorial – Special Page Numbering
    This tutorial explains the entry of page numbers on special pages, such as the first few pages of a dissertation or a project report, perhaps. Since these page numbers would differ from others in that these pages would be numbered using Roman numerals or other special numbering.

    • Shift+Right Arrow: to select one character at a time to the right of the toothpick cursor.
    • Shift+Home: to select a block of text from the toothpick cursor to the beginning of the line.

    Shift+Click to Select Text Block of Any Size

    1. Positioning the mouse toothpick cursor where you want the block to start (the anchor point).
    2. Navigate through your document using the vertical scroll bar.
    3. Press and hold the Shift key and then click the mouse where you want the block to end.
    4. The text from the toothpick cursor to wherever you Shift+clicked the mouse is selected as a block.

    To exit F8 Extended Selection mode, press the Esc key.

    Free Training for Using Word 2007

    Microsoft has made huge changes to the user interface for all of the applications in Office 2007, including Word 2007. It has replaced all menus and toolbars with a new “Ribbon” interface, along with Tabs. The Ribbon and Tabs are positioned across the screen and graphically depict groups of features and functionality.

    Here are Four Free Training Resources for Learning How to Use Word 2007. The first one is an online course that will help you learn how to use the Ribbon, find familiar features, and understand and use the new XML file format. The second one is a reference for the locations of Word 2003 commands in Word 2007. The third learning resource is a 3 page Word 2007 tutorial article that reviews Word’s new features and user interface. The fourth document is a spreadsheet that maps all of Word 2003 menu and toobar items to the Word 2007 ribbon or interface.


    1) Free Word 2007 Online Course: Up to Speed with Word 2007

    Course length: 30–40 minutes

    After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Work with the Ribbon — the new feature that makes Word easier than ever before.
    • Find everyday, common commands you need to do your job.
    • Use the new file format for Word in the way that’s best for you.
    This course includes:
    • Three self-paced lessons and two practice sessions for hands-on experience. Practices require Word 2007.
    • A short test at the end of each lesson; tests are not scored.
    • A Quick Reference Card you can take away from the course.
