Description
Microsoft Office Word 2007 for Windows is a major redesign of the popular Office Suite
from previous versions. This information packet is for users familiar of Word 2003 or
who are interested in or just getting started with Word 2007.You will learn how to work
with the new Office Ribbon interface, understand Word 2007 file compatibility issues
and be introduced to some of the notable new features of the Word 2007.
Compatability Cautions
Along with the new features of Microsoft Word 2007 come several challenges when
opening documents created in previous versions of the application. For example, if you
open Word 2007documents in Word 97-2003, you may find that the tables, charts,
diagrams, etc. lose their formatting. On the flip side, when you open Word97-2003
documents in Word 2007, the document opens in Compatibility Mode and the
2007features are grayed out and not available. It is strongly recommended that you
perform the following functions to maintain the integrity of your documents when
upgrading to Word 2007.
Whats new in Microsoft Office Word 2007

When you begin to explore Word 2007 you will notice a new look to the menu bar.
There are three features that you should remember as you work within Word 2007: the
Microsoft Office Button, the Quick Access Toolbar, and the Ribbon. These three
features contain many of the functions that were in the menu of previous Word versions.
The functions of these three features will be more fully explored below.


THE USER INTERFACE IN OFFICE 2007
When you first start some of the programs in Microsoft Office 2007, you will notice a change.
No one likes change and if your initial reaction is exasperation, it is a very common one. Dont
despair there are some useful on-line demos and guides to help you get started. It doesnt take
long to get used to the new interface and before long you may find you quite like it.
These notes provide links to some useful sites and describe the various elements of the new
interface.
Why the change?
The menus and toolbars in some programs have been replaced with the Ribbon, which is part of
the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface. It has been introduced because applications like Word
have continued to grow from the original simple application (offering in the region of 100
commands) until Word 2003 offered in the region of 1500 commands accessed via 31 toolbars.
The new design of interface is intended to make the fast-growing number of commands easier to
find and more accessible.
1.MICROSOFT OFFICE BUTTON
The Office Button replaces the old File menu.
Clicking the Microsoft Office button will display a list of commands which relate to the
management of Word and Word documents (as opposed to managing the content). Examples of
commands found under the Microsoft Office button include: New, Open, Print, Save, Send,
Publish, Prepare.
TIPS:
The Office button displays a list of the recent documents you worked with. Click on a
document name to open it.
The Word Options button allows you to customize Word.

The Microsoft Office button performs many of the functions that were located in
the File menu of older versions of Word. This button allows you to create a new
document, open an existing document, save or save as, print, send (through email or
fax), publish or lose.


The Ribbon

The Ribbon is the panel at the top portion of the document. It has seven tabs: Home,
Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, and View that contain many new
and existing features of Word. Each tab is divided into groups. The groups are logical
collections of features designed to perform functions that you will utilize in developing or
editing your Word document. Commonly used features are displayed on the Ribbon, to
view additional features within each group, click on the arrow at the bottom right of each
group.
TABS
The ribbon is divided into 7 tabs in Word: Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings,
Review and View. Each tab focuses on a major activity area. For example, the first tab is the
Home tab and is dedicated to writing and formatting. Each tab is further divided into groups.
Contextual Tabs
Contextual tabs only appear when you select particular document elements, thereby making
further appropriate commands available only when they are required. This ensures that the
ribbon doesnt get too cluttered up and commands stay hidden until they are needed.
Contextual tabs always appear on the far right of the ribbon.
STATUS BAR
Shortcut buttons for changing views are still on the status bar but located more to the right.
The Print Layout View button is now displayed first as it is the one people work in
most frequently.
The Normal View from older versions of Word is now called Draft View
The Reading Layout View from older versions of Word is now called Full Screen
Reading

Creating a Document
Once the document that has opened, type a short paragraph of why you are taking this
mini session. For example, are you new to Microsoft Word 2007 or are you improving
your software skills? Remember to purposely misspell some words. Later in the session
youll use this paragraph to learn how to spell check and use basic Word 2007functions.

Exercise - Saving a Document

command is used for a first-time save or if you have made revisions to a document and
wish to replace the old version with the new revised document. Use the Save As
command to save a revised document to a new name, thus keeping the original as it
was before revisions, or to save a copy of a document in a different folder or on a
different disk. When the Save command is selected and it is a first-time save, a dialog
box will be displayed. In this dialog box, a name must be given to the document and a
folder must be designated as the location in which to save the document. If it is not a
first-time save, the dialog box will not be displayed 2007. From the Home Button, select

space available to you on college server. When you login into your user account you will
have access to My Documents folder. Quick Tip: Save occasionally by clicking on the
SAVE button. If the computer crashes, you will be able to recover your work until the
last save.
Exercise - Changing Font Type and Font Size
In the document that you just created, you are now going to format the font size and
type. Different fonts and sizes can give character to words in your document. For
example, on a resume, you may use BOLD as an eye-catcher. Also font size affects
word characteristics. Highlight the text you wish to change the Font and Size for; in this
practice highlight your name. Click on the Font Menu, select Ariel Black. Click on Font

Microsoft Office Word 2007 includes many predesigned headers or footers that you can
insert into your document. Or you can create a header or footer from scratch. See
information later in this article for steps to include the following popular items in the
header or footer:
page number
file name
document title, author's name, or other document property
current date
Insert a predefined header or footer
On the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Header or Footer.
Click the header or footer design that you want.
Note If you don't see a gallery of header or footer designs, there might be a problem
with the Building Blocks template on your computer. See I don't see galleries of page
numbers, headers and footers, cover pages, or equations for information about how to
fix this problem. The header or footer is inserted on every page of the document.

NOTES
If necessary, you can format the text in the header or footer by selecting the text and
using the formatting options on the Mini toolbar, which is a part of the Microsoft

and text boxes appear in their actual positions.), you can quickly switch between the
header or footer and the document text. Just double-click the dimmed header or footer,
or the dimmed document text.
Insert a page number
If your document already has content in the header or footer, you can add the page
number to the header or footer. If you want to use one of the preformatted page number
designs, but you want more information in the header or footer than just the page
number, it is easiest to start with a page number and then add other text or graphics to
the header or footer. Note Many of the footer designs in the gallery of footers already
include the page number as part of the content. For more information about inserting
page numbers, see Insert page numbers.

CTRL+TAB. To determine whether the header or footer that you are working with is
laid out in a table, look for the Table Tools contextual tab at the top of the Ribbon
while the cursor is in the header or footer.
Many header and footer designs contain content controls for storing content such as
the document title and the date. When you click to edit the header or footer, the
cursor might automatically select the content control. To move the cursor away from
the content control (so that you can insert the page number in the header or footer
without deleting the content of the content control), press the LEFT ARROW or
RIGHT ARROW key.

Format a table
After you create a table, Microsoft Office Word 2007 offers you many ways to format that table. If you
decide to use Table Styles, you can format your table all at once, and even see a preview of what your
table will look like formatted in a particular style before you actually apply the style.
You can create a custom look for tables by splitting or merging cells, adding or deleting columns or rows,
or adding borders. If you're working with a long table, you can repeat the table headings on each page
on which the table appears. To prevent awkward page breaks that disrupt the flow of your table, you can
also specify just how and where the table should break across pages.
Use table styles to format an entire table
Add or remove borders
Display or hide gridlines
Add a cell, row, or column
Delete a cell, row, or column
Merge or split cells
Repeat a table heading on subsequent pages

Use Table Styles to format an entire table
After you create a table, you can format the entire table by using Table Styles. By resting your pointer
over each of the preformatted table styles, you can preview what the table will look like.
Click in the table that you want to format.
Under Table Tools, click the Design tab.
In the Table Styles group, rest the pointer over each table style until you find a style that
you want to use.
Note To see more styles, click the More arrow .

Click the style to apply it to the table.
In the Table Style Options group, select or clear the check box next to each the table
element to apply or remove the selected style.

Display or hide gridlines
Gridlines show the cell boundaries of a table on the screen wherever the table doesn't have borders
applied. If you hide the gridlines in a table that has borders, you won't see the change because the
gridlines are behind the borders. To view the gridlines, remove the borders. Unlike borders, gridlines
appear only on the screen; they are never printed. If you turn off gridlines, the table is displayed as it will
be printed. Note Gridlines are not visible when you view a document in a Web browser or in Print
Preview.
Set tab stops
Tab stops are often used to create easy-to-format documents but the document layout options in
Microsoft Office Word 2007 can do the work for you. For example, you can easily create a table of
contents or an index without setting a single tab stop. You can also use the predesigned table and
header and footer options in Office Word 2007.In addition, Office Word 2007 provides predesigned
pages, such as cover pages and various page layout options, which make tab stops unnecessary.
1. Set the tab stops
2. Add leaders between tab stops
3. Change the spacing between the default tab stops
Set the tab stops
You might want to use the ruler to set manual tab stops at the left side, middle, and right side of your
document.
Note If you don't see the horizontal ruler that runs along the top of the document, click the View Ruler
button at the top of the vertical scroll bar.
You can quickly set tabs by clicking the tab selector at the left end of the ruler until it displays the type of
tab that you want and then clicking the ruler at the location you want. But which type of tab stop should
you use?

A Left Tab stop sets the start position of text that will then run to the right as you
type.

A Center Tab stop sets the position of the middle of the text. The text centers on this

position as you type.

A Right Tab stop sets the right end of the text. As you type, the text moves to the
left.

A Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Independent of the
number of digits, the decimal point will be in the same position. (You can align
numbers around a decimal character only; you cannot use the decimal tab to align
numbers around a different character, such as a hyphen or an ampersand symbol.)

A Bar Tab stop doesn't position text. It inserts a vertical bar at the tab position.
If you want your tab stops at precise positions that you can't get by clicking the ruler, or if you
want to insert a specific character (leader) before the tab, you can use the Tabs dialog box.
To display the Tabs dialog box, double-click any tab stop on the ruler, or do the following:
1. On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.
2. In the Paragraph dialog box, click Tabs.
Change the spacing between the default tab stops
If you set manual tab stops, the default tab stops are interrupted by the manual tab stops that
you set. Manual tab stops that are set on the ruler override the default tab stop settings.
3. On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.
4. In the Paragraph dialog box, click Tabs.
5. In the Default tab stops box, enter the amount of spacing that you want between the
default tab stops.
When you press the TAB key, your tab will stop across the page at the distance that you
specified.
Overview of charting
Microsoft Office Excel 2007 no longer provides the chart wizard. Instead, you can create a basic
chart by clicking the chart type that you want on the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface

Ribbon. To create a professional-looking chart that displays the details that you want, you can
modify the chart, apply predefined styles and layouts, and add eye-catching formatting. You
can also reuse a favourite chart by saving it as a chart template.
If you have Office Excel 2007 installed, you can also take advantage of the powerful Excel
charting functionality in other 2007 Microsoft Office system programs, such as Microsoft Office
PowerPoint 2007 and Microsoft Office Word 2007.

12. Reusing charts by creating chart templates
Charts and their elements
Charts are used to display series of numeric data in a graphical format to make it easier to
understand large quantities of data and the relationship between different series of data.
A chart has many elements. Some of these elements are displayed by default, others can be
added as needed. You can change the display of the chart elements by moving them to other
locations in the chart, resizing them, or by changing the format. You can also remove chart
elements that you do not want to display.
The chart area of the chart.
The plot area of the chart.
The data points of the data series that are plotted in the chart.
The horizontal (category) and vertical (value) axis along which
the data is plotted in the chart.
The legend of the chart.

A chart and axis title that you can use in the chart.
A data label that you can use to identify the details of a data point in a data series.
When you click anywhere in the chart area, and then hover the mouse pointer over one of these
elements, Excel displays information about that element in a ScreenTip.
Clicking anywhere in a chart also makes the Chart Tools available, adding the Design, Layout,
and Format tabs.

Creating charts in Excel

To create a chart in Excel, you start by entering the data for the chart on a
worksheet (worksheet: The primary document that you use in Excel to store and work with data.
Also called a spreadsheet. A worksheet consists of cells that are organized into columns and
rows; a worksheet is always stored in a workbook.). The data can be arranged in rows or
columns Excel automatically determines the best way to plot the data in the chart. Some
chart types (such as pie and bubble charts) require a specific data arrangement as described in
the following table.

Page margin options
Microsoft Word offers several page margin options. You can use the default (default: A
predefined setting. You can accept the default option settings, or you can change them to suit
your own preferences.) page margins or you can specify your own.
1. Add margins for binding Use a gutter margin to add extra space to the side or
top margin of a document that you plan to bind. A gutter margin helps ensure
that text isn't obscured by the binding.
2. Gutter margins for binding
3. Mirror margins for facing pages
4. Set margins for facing pages Use mirror margins to set up facing pages for
double-sided documents, such as books or magazines. In this case, the margins
of the left page are a mirror image of those of the right page (that is, the inside
margins are the same width, and the outside margins are the same width).
5. NOTE You can set gutter margins for a document that has mirror margins if the
document needs extra space for binding.
6. Add a book fold Using the Book fold option in the Page Setup dialog box,
you can create a booklet. You can use the same option to create a menu,
invitation, event program, or any other type of document that uses a single
center fold.
7. Word inserts a single, center book fold

After you set up a document as a booklet, you work with it just as you would any document,
inserting text, graphics, and other visual elements.
Notes
Most printers require a minimum width for margin settings, because they can't print all the way
to the edge of the page. If you try to set margins that are too narrow, Microsoft Word displays
the message One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page.
To prevent text from being cut off, click Fix to automatically increase the margin width. If you
ignore the message and try to print the document as it is, Word displays another message
asking whether you want to continue. The minimum margin settings depend on your printer,
printer driver, and paper size. To learn about the minimum margin settings, check your printer
manual.
Change or set page margins
2. Click the margin type that you want. For the most common margin width, click
Normal.
3. When you click the margin type that you want, your entire document
automatically changes to the margin type that you have selected.

settings.
To change the margins for part of a document, select the text, and then set the margins
that you want by entering the new margins in the Page Setup dialog box. In the Apply
to box, click Selected text. Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks (section
break: A mark you insert to show the end of a section. A section break stores the
section formatting elements, such as the margins, page orientation, headers and

footers, and sequence of page numbers.) before and after the text that has the new
margin settings. If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a
section or select multiple sections and then change the margins.

The Table feature can be used to organize information into rows and columns without
having to set tabs. Tables can also be used to create forms and side-by-side
paragraphs. A table consists of vertical columns and horizontal rows. The intersections
of those rows and columns create cells. A cell is each individual square in which you

can enter text. The Tab key will advance the cursor to the next cell. Shift + Tab will
move the cursor backward within a table. When you reach the end of the last row,
pressing Tab will add a new row to the table. 54) Place the insertion point at the desired

The Blank Page command allows you to manually insert a blank page at the desired
location. When you fill a page with text or graphics, Microsoft Office Word inserts an
automatic page break and starts a new page. However, you can manually add pages or
delete pages by adding page breaks or deleting page breaks.
Inserting a Blank Page
You can insert a page break anywhere in your document, or you can specify where
Microsoft Word positions automatic page breaks. If you insert manual page breaks in
documents that are more than several pages in length, you might have to frequently re-
break pages as you edit the document. To avoid the difficulty of manually re breaking
pages, you can set options to control where Word positions automatic page breaks.

Use mail merge to create and print letters and other documents
You use mail merge when you want to create a set of documents, such as a form letter
that is sent to many customers. Each letter has the same kind of information, yet the
content is unique. For example, in letters to your customers, each letter can be
personalized to address each customer by name. The unique information in each letter
comes from entries in a data source.
The mail merge process entails the following overall steps:
Set up the main document. The main document contains the text and graphics
that are the same for each version of the merged document for example, the
return address or salutation in a form letter.
Connect the document to a data source. A data source is a file that contains the
information to be merged into a document. For example, the names and
addresses of the recipients of a letter.
Refine the list of recipients or items. Microsoft Office Word generates a copy of
the main document for each item, or record, in your data file. If your data file is a
mailing list, these items are probably recipients of your mailing. If you want to
generate copies for only certain items in your data file, you can choose which
items (records) to include.
Add placeholders, called mail merge fields, to the document. When you perform
the mail merge, the mail merge fields are filled with information from your data
file.

Preview and complete the merge. You can preview each copy of the document
before you print the whole set.
You use commands on the Mailings tab to perform a mail merge.
Important If you plan to use custom contact fields with the Contacts list in Microsoft
Office Outlook, you must begin the mail merge process in Outlook.
Tip You can also perform a mail merge by using the Mail Merge task pane, which leads
you step by step through the process. To use the task pane, in the Start Mail Merge
group on the Mailings tab, click Start Mail Merge, and then click Step by Step Mail
Merge Wizard.

Set up the main document
Start Word.
A blank document opens by default. Leave it open. If you close it, the commands
in the next step are not available.
On the Mailings tab, in the Start Mail Merge group, click Start Mail Merge.

Click Letters.
You can also use mail merge to create:

A catalog or directory The same kind of information, such as name and
description, is shown for each item, but the name and description in each item is
unique. Click Directory to create this type of document.
A set of envelopes The return address is the same on all the envelopes, but the
destination address is unique on each one. For more information, see Create and
print envelopes for a mass mailing.
A set of mailing labels Each label shows a person's name and address, but the
name and address on each label is unique. For more information, see Create
and print labels for a mass mailing.
A set of e-mail messages The basic content is the same in all the messages,
but each message goes to the individual recipient and each message contains
information that is specific to that recipient, such as the recipient's name or some
other piece of information. For more information, see Use mail merge to send
personalized e-mail messages to your e-mail address list.
Connect the document to a data source
To merge information into your main document, you must connect the document to a
data source, or a data file. If you don't already have a data file, you can create one
during the mail merge process. Important If you use an existing list, make sure that it
contains the information that you want to use, including all the columns and the rows.
You can make some changes during the merge, but you can't open your data source
separately during the merge. The merge process is easier if your data source is ready
before you connect to it.
Choose a data file
On the Mailings tab, in the Start Mail Merge group, click Select Recipients.
Use Outlook Contacts If you want to use your Contacts list in Outlook, click
Select from Outlook Contacts.
Important For more information about using the Contacts list, see Tips for
working with Microsoft Office Outlook Contacts list.
Use an existing data source file If you have a Microsoft Office Excel worksheet,
a Microsoft Office Access database, or another type of data file, click Use
Existing List, and then locate the file in the Select Data Source dialog box.

For Excel, you can select data from any worksheet or named range within a workbook.
For Access, you can select data from any table or query (query: A means of finding all
the records stored in a data source that fit a set of criteria you name. Queries can
contain operators, quotation marks, wildcard characters, and parentheses to help focus
your search.) that is defined in the database.
Important For tips on formatting the data in your Excel worksheet for mail merge, see
Tips for formatting data in Office Excel.
For another type of data file, select the file in the Select Data Source dialog box. If the
file is not listed, select the appropriate file type or select All Files in the Files of type box.
In a mail merge, you can use the following types of data files:
Files from single-tier, file-based database programs for which you have installed
an OLE DB (OLE DB: A component database architecture that implements
efficient network and internet access to many types of data sources, including
relational data, mail files, flat files, and spreadsheets.) provider or ODBC (Open
Database Connectivity (ODBC): A standard method of sharing data between
databases and programs. ODBC drivers use the standard Structured Query
Language (SQL) to gain access to external data.) driver (a number of which are
included with Microsoft Office).
An HTML file that has a single table. The first row of the table must contain
column names, and the other rows must contain data.
Electronic address books:
Microsoft Outlook Address Book
Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0 Contact List
Any similar address lists that were created with a MAPI (MAPI: The Microsoft
interface specification that allows different messaging and workgroup
applications (including e-mail, voice mail, and fax) to work through a single
client.)-compatible messaging system, such as Microsoft Outlook.
A Microsoft Word document. The document should contain a single table. The
first row of the table must contain headings, and the other rows must contain the
records that you want to merge. You can also use a header source (header
source: A document that contains the header row (or header record) to be used

with the data source specified for a mail-merge main document.) as a data
source.
Any text file that has data fields (data field: A category of information that
corresponds to one column of information in a data source. The name of each
data field is listed in the first row (header row) of the data source. "PostalCode"
and "LastName" are examples of data field names.) separated (or delimited) by
tab characters or commas and data records (data record: A complete set of
related information that corresponds to one row of information in the data source.
All information about one client in a client mailing list is an example of a data
record.) separated by paragraph marks.
Create a new data file in Word If you don't have a data file yet, click Type New
List, and then use the form that opens to create your list. The list is saved as a
database (.mdb) file that you can reuse. For more information, see Type a new
list.
Note If you installed 2007 Microsoft Office system (instead of installing Microsoft
Word by itself), you can also use Microsoft Query to construct a query (query: A means
of finding all the records stored in a data source that fit a set of criteria you name.
Queries can contain operators, quotation marks, wildcard characters, and parentheses
to help focus your search.) and retrieve the data you want from an external data
source (external data source: A data source that contains the data a user wants to gain
access to: for example, a Microsoft Excel list or a Microsoft Access database.).
Type the content and add the placeholders, or fields
In the main document, type any content that you want to appear on every copy of
the document.
To add a picture, such as a logo, click Picture in the Illustrations group on the
Home tab.
Click where you want to insert the field.

field that is required for the mail merge.
Greeting line
Click Greeting line.
Select the greeting line format, which includes the salutation, name format, and
following punctuation.
Select the text that you want to appear in cases where Microsoft Word can't
interpret the recipient's name, for example, when the data source contains no
first or last name for a recipient, but only a company name.
Click OK.
If the Match Fields dialog box appears, Word may have been unable to find some
of the information that it needs for the greeting line. Click the arrow next to (not
matched), and then select the field from your data source that corresponds to the
field that is required for the mail merge.

Note If you insert a field from the Database Fields list and then later switch to a
data source that doesn't have a column with the same name, Word won't be able
to insert that field information into the merged document.
Custom fields from Outlook contacts
The only way to include custom contact fields in your main document is to start
the mail merge from within Outlook. First, set up a view of your contacts with the
fields that you want to use in the merge. Then, start the mail merge. After you
choose the settings that you want, Word will automatically open, and you can
complete the merge.

Notes
You can't type merge field characters ( ) manually or use the Symbol
command on the Insert menu. You must use mail merge.
If the merge fields appear inside braces, such as { MERGEFIELD City }, then
Microsoft Word is displaying field codes (field code: Placeholder text that shows
where specified information from your data source will appear; the elements in a
field that generate a field's result. The field code includes the field characters,
field type, and instructions.) instead of field results (field results: Text or graphics
inserted in a document when Microsoft Word carries out a field's instructions.
When you print the document or hide field codes, the field results replace the
field codes.). This doesn't affect the merge, but if you want to display the results
instead, right-click the field code, and then click Toggle Field Codes on the
shortcut menu.
Format the merged data
Database and spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Office Access and Microsoft
Office Excel, store the information that you type in cells as raw data. Formatting that you
apply in Access or Excel, such as fonts and colors, isn't stored with the raw data. When
you merge information from a data file into a Word document, you are merging the raw
data without the applied formatting.
Add formatting
Select the mail merge field. Make sure that the selection includes the chevrons (
) that surround the field.
On the Home tab, in the Font group, apply the formatting that you want. Or click
the Font Dialog Box launcher for more options.

Important To minimize the extra space between lines in the addresses on your labels,
you must select the lines, click the Paragraph Dialog Box launcher on the Home tab,
and then type 0 in the before and after spacing boxes. If you are using the Address
Block merge field, select the whole field, including the chevrons ( ), and then adjust
the spacing.

How automatic spelling checking works

When you check spelling automatically while you type, you can be more confident that you won't need to correct
many spelling mistakes when you are ready to deliver your file. Your Microsoft Office program can flag misspelled
words while you work so that you can easily spot them, as in the following example.

You can right-click the misspelled word to see suggested corrections on the shortcut menu.

Depending on the Microsoft Office program that you are using, right-clicking a word can give you other options on the
shortcut menu, such as adding the word to your custom dictionary

Print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing) in
Word

Some printers offer the option of automatically printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (automatic duplex printing).
Other printers provide instructions so that you can manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex
printing). Some printers do not support duplex printing at all.
Find out whether your printer supports automatic duplex
printing
You can use the following methods to determine whether a specific printer supports duplex printing:
Check your printer manual or consult your printer manufacturer.
In Microsoft Office Word, click the Microsoft Office Button , click Print, click Properties, and then
click the tabs in the Document Properties dialog box and review the options. The options in the Document
Properties dialog box vary depending on your printer options and configuration. If you see options on any
of the tabs for printing on both sides of the paper, duplex printing, or two-sided printing, the printer probably
supports automatic duplex printing.
If your printer supports duplex printing, follow the directions in the printer manual to create duplex copies.
NOTES
If you are printing to a combination copy machine and printer, and the copy machine supports two-sided
copying, it probably supports automatic duplex printing.
If you have more than one printer installed, it is possible that one printer supports duplex printing and
another printer does not.
Set up a printer to print to both sides of a sheet of paper
If your printer doesn't support automatic duplex printing, you have two other options. You can use manual duplex
printing, or you can print the odd and even pages separately.
Print by using manual duplex
If your printer does not support automatic duplex printing, you can select the Manual duplex check box in the Print
dialog box. Microsoft Office Word will print all of the pages that appear on one side of the paper and then prompt you
to turn the stack over and feed the pages into the printer again.

Print odd and even pages
You can also use the following procedure to print on both sides:
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Print.
2. In the lower-left corner of the Print dialog box, in the Print list, select Odd pages.
3. Click OK.
4. After the odd pages are printed, flip the stack of pages over, and then in the Print list, select Even pages.
5. Click OK.
NOTE Depending on the printer model, you might have to rotate and reorder the pages to print the other side of the
stack.
