In Word and in every application Microsoft Office it is possible to quickly obtain help (help) about all elements of the working window. For help, you can use Help (F1). When you press a key F1 the window shown in Figure 7.8 will appear on the screen, in which you can enter your question or select a topic from the list (Table of Contents) to get a list of questions on this topic.
When searching for help, it is necessary to take into account the location of the search (Figure 7.9). For example, if the computer is connected to a local network, then the default search is performed on the Internet. But if the local network does not have access to the Internet, then the search will take a long time and will not give a result. In this situation, you need to interrupt the search, specify the search location Offline Help and start searching again. As a result of the search, a list of links to help articles will appear (Figure 7.9).
When you open the Help window, the main document window is reduced in size and the rest of the screen is occupied by the Help window. When you close Help, the document window returns to its original size. In the help text within the called topic, hyperlinks- underlined and highlighted in color individual words or phrases in the text. When placed on a hyperlink, the cursor changes to " forefinger". You can jump to the text of a hyperlink with a single click of the left mouse button. To access any other topic, click on the button Show on the toolbar at the top of the help window. Then we get access to Content help. To return everything to its original state, just click again on the same button, but now it is already called Hide.
When searching for a specific help topic, you can use Question Master, which will help localize the search, and a right-click context menu.
Setting page options in MS Word.
7.4.1 Formatting (setting) the page
Formatting - changing the appearance, form. Editing - changing content.
Determined by the size of the sheet of paper, the size of the margins, portrait or landscape orientation, header and footer and is set using the command File - Page settings.
As a result, a window with tabs opens: Margins, Paper Size, Paper Source
tab Paper size allows the user to select the paper size. Most often, documents are prepared and printed on paper of size (format) A4 (width 21 cm, height 29.7 cm) and A5 (width 14.8 cm, height 21 cm), but you can select another size from the drop-down list or set your own size .
Right fixed size paper will give you a good idea of how the text and graphics will be positioned in the document.
On the tab fields margins are set, as well as page orientation Book(vertical sheet arrangement) or landscape(horizontal layout).
The margin is the indent from the edge of the document to the text. Margins are left, right, top and bottom. As a rule, the left margin is made larger than the rest so that when filing documents into a folder, there is space for binding.
Drop-down list Multiple pages serves to design spreads (left and right pages) and contains the following items:
mirror fields;
two pages per sheet;
Mode Ordinary created for creating documents, which are printed on one side of the paper, with the left margin always on the left.
Mode Mirror fields Designed for documents that are printed on two sides of a sheet (fold). In this mode, on odd pages, the margin sizes will correspond to the set values, and on even pages, the sizes of the left and right margins will be mirrored.
Mode 2 pages per sheet. In this mode, two pages are reduced and placed on one sheet of paper.
List Apply determines to which part of the document the set parameters will be applied (To the current section, To the selected sections, Until the end of the document, To the selected text, To the entire document).
tab Paper source contains additional features. Opening the list start section, you can choose the options for the beginning of the section: To current page, From new column, From next page,From an even page, From an odd page.
To place regular information, such as page numbers, information about the titles of sections and paragraphs of the document, Upper And Lower headers and footers (respectively, the top one is located at the top of the page, and the bottom one is at the bottom). To add headers and footers to a document, run the command View - Header and Footer, which will open the toolbar headers and footers and the document view will change as shown in figure 7.14. The text of the document becomes gray and inaccessible for editing, the cursor is placed in a rectangular dotted frame labeled as a header. Now you can edit the header, i.e. indicate in it the information that should be repeated on each page.
Changing a parameter Distinguish headers and footers in the window Page settings tab Paper source will allow you to set different headers and footers on even and odd pages. If you check the box on the position First page, then the header will not be displayed on the first page.
Vertical alignment- from the list, you can select different options for filling the sheet (Top, Center, Width, Bottom). Button Line numbering on this tab is used in some legal documents and when typing program texts.
On all dialog tabs Page settings there is a button on the bottom left Default. When you click this button, Word remembers all the settings you have made. In the future, the editor will use them for all newly created documents. Therefore, you should not press this button accidentally.
Paragraph formatting in MS Word: paragraph indents, line spacing, alignment.

How to adjust page setup in Word 2007?
First of all, when writing your control, course or diploma work for word document you need to set the page parameters. However, usually the initial page settings are the most suitable and, in fact, nothing needs to be changed. By default, Word uses standard sheets A4 format (210x297 mm).
However, sometimes you may want one of the sheets in your term paper was not vertical (as in the book), but horizontal (as in the album). This may be necessary if you need to place a very wide pattern or table. This is allowed by the rules.
You can choose the orientation in the Page Setup dialog box (see figure below), which you can call in Word 2007 by going to the Page Layout tab of the tool ribbon and clicking the icon in the Page Setup area.
In addition, in Word 2007 you can not call the Page Setup window, but directly select the desired orientation directly on the Page Layout tab by clicking the Orientation button.
However this way allows you to set one orientation for the entire document at once. You will most likely only need to change the orientation of a particular sheet or sheets. You can only do this in the Page Setup dialog box:
1. Position the text cursor in the area of the sheet whose orientation is to be changed.
2. Call the Page Setup dialog box and in the center of the Margins tab of this window, select the desired orientation. On the same tab, in the same window, in the Apply drop-down list, select until the end of the document.
3. Click OK in the Page Setup window and make sure that all pages, starting with the current one, have changed their orientation.
4. Go to the next sheet, which should already be in normal orientation, open the Page Setup dialog box and follow the above sequence of actions to set the normal vertical orientation of the sheets starting from this sheet.
Earlier it was said that the size of the margins - the distance from the edge of the page to the text - in the control, course or thesis should be as follows: left - 20 or 30 mm; right - 10 mm, bottom - 20 mm, top - 20 mm.
You can still set the margin sizes in the same Page Setup dialog box that we used in the previous example to set the orientation of the sheets. In this window, go to the Margins tab, in the Bottom, Top, Left and Right input fields, specify the required field values. Before you click OK in the Page Setup window, make sure the Apply drop-down list is set to Entire Document.
LIST OF SECTIONS - LIST OF ARTICLES IN THE CURRENT SECTIONPage parameters should be understood as its key characteristics, defining the placement of text and other objects on it. They may include fields, dimensions, orientation.
fields define the edges and borders of the text area that place it within itself. Dimensions adjust height and width. Orientation means its location in relation to the reader. This article will discuss the features of adjusting settings in versions of Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, 2010. In addition, we will describe the word wrap setting.
Page settings
To set these settings in Word 2003, you need to go to the menu File And choose point of the same name. In version 2007 and later, you need to go to the menu Page layout and click on the arrow below.
Page margins
A dialog box that allows you to change the fields in Microsoft Word 2003, will appear after pressing the item Page settings the aforementioned way. Its approximate appearance is shown in the photo. Thus, this window sets dimensions top, left, bottom and right margins, binding. Change if desired book orientation towards landscape and vice versa. These changes can be applied to the entire document or to its current page.
In version 2007 and above, everything is installed similar way.
Paper size
The size is set if necessary. print document on a sheet with a format other than A4 sheet. Last installed default. It is important that the paper size is supported by the printer. As you can see from the screenshot below, the user of the program is trying to set the format to A5, A6 or B5. For his convenience dimensions are indicated each type of paper.
It is also possible to set printer settings. The paper feed is adjusted and, like the margin settings, the settings are applied to the entire document or to the current position. For convenience of choice, a sample of the printed sheet is shown in the window. 
In Office 2007 and above, the size is configured with a different sequence of steps:
speakers
As a rule, texts are written from one column, but there are situations, say in newspapers or magazines, when they are written in several columns. Sometimes this is relevant when filling websites with content.
The choice of the number of columns in the version from 2003 is as follows:
- Choose from the menu at the top of the window Format;
- Then click on the item speakers;
- A window will appear;
- choose quantity columns, their width and scope.
Can be applied to the entire document, or to the end of the document. 
Working with Office 2007 or 2010, we act differently. Need to go to the menu Page layout. Then the item is selected speakers. Here is configurable number columns and their location. They can be moved to the left or right. 
Hyphenation
In Word 2003, setting up word wrap is done like this;
If the text is already typed and you need automatically make transfers, then a marker is placed in the corresponding field. If you need to transfer abbreviations or other words with capital letters, then the appropriate setting. If necessary, adjust the distance from last character to the right edge make changes to paragraph Transfer zone latitude. If desired, you can use forced method. 
In the 2007 version, the setup is done differently. First you need to go to the mentioned markup menu and select the command Hyphenation. If choose Auto, then they will separate themselves. At manual options will offer hyphenation options in the selected word. The decision is made by the person. To select specific settings, use the command Hyphenation Options. They are the same as the options in Word 2003. 
Page orientation.
Working with the package from 2003, we go to the item already familiar to us with fields from the menu Page settings. There will be two orientation options: bookstore And landscape. The current orientation will be highlighted with a frame. To change it, you need to check the box next to another item. 
It can be applied as to the whole document, and to the end of the document. For the first option, select the appropriate item. When working with a package from 2007, to change the orientation, you need to go to the menu Page layout and select item Orientation. The same options will be offered.
Page settings are designed to give the document the desired look. This is true for creating almost any document - from a contract or order, to art book or scientific work. Knowing how to change the margins and being able to choose the optimal paper size and page orientation for a particular document, you will be able to correctly and beautifully format documents and save yourself from unnecessary routine work.
Setting Page Options
Page settings are set immediately before formatting and placing various objects on it. You can set these parameters at the end of the work on the document, but keep in mind that, for example, when large values fields, appearance document may change significantly. Page settings are most comparable to the foundation of a building, and therefore should be set first, because all alignments in a document are tied to the page orientation and its margins. You can also configure the settings in general or by category.
Document margins

- "By height" - there is a certain similarity with text alignment in width, only in this case Lines are aligned to page height. How fewer lines on the page - the greater the distance between them;
- Bottom Align - Lines are aligned to the bottom of the page. Often used in letters and prologues to fictional novels.
In the "Distinguish headers and footers" area, you can set the distance to the top and footer, and how the headers and footers will differ - on the first page or on even / odd pages. Headers and footers will be discussed in more detail in future articles.

If you work with the same document type all the time and you want to use the same page setup, set the defaults. Go to the Page Setup window and set the options you are looking for, then click the Default button and confirm your choice. These settings will be applied to all subsequent documents until the next change.
