Editing documents

When you edit a document, you can set formatting properties, such as fonts, alignment, and indentation. You can create a bulleted or numbered list, insert a link, create a header or a footer, and use spell-checking. You can also print your document.

  • Formatting text in documents
    You can specify font effects, set font size, align text, and more. You can also create bullets or numbered lists to insert in a document.
  • Inserting links
    In a document, you can insert a link to a web page or to an email address.
  • Creating headers and footers
    You can create a header at the beginning of a document, or a footer at the end of a document. You can also edit and hide headers or footers after you create them.
  • Creating a table of contents
    You create a table of contents by first adding headings in your document at the appropriate levels.
  • Inserting fields in documents
    You can insert a date, time, and page number either in the text area or in the header and footer area.
  • Spell-checking documents
    You can choose to check the spelling of the entire document when you finish it or instantly check spelling as you type.
  • Searching in documents
    You can search for words or phrases in a document and specify whether the results match the case, the exact search term, or both. You can also replace a single instance of a search result or all search results with a new word or phrase.
  • Printing documents
    The Print command in a document opens a new browser window from which you can choose layout options.
