whitepaper Creating a Macro to Meet Court Requirements for Document Margins2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Different courts have different requirements, or preferences, for document margins. Frequently, they do not want all the pages treated the same way. For example, they usually want a larger top margin on the first page to allow space to stamp the document without obscuring the printed text. One can accommodate these preferences by setting the margins every time one creates a document. An easier way is to automate this task by creating a macro (a set of keystrokes and instructions recorded and saved for later use), so that the computer sets the margins quickly, correctly, and consistently, for every document. Investing a few minutes now to automate this task will pay off quickly.   
whitepaper Open and Save Files in Formats Supported by Word2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  A file format defines the way that information is stored in a file, so that a specific program can open and save that file. A file's format is indicated by a three-letter or four-letter extension after the file name. For example, when one saves a new document in Microsoft Word, Word by default stores the document in Word format with a .doc file extension. Word can directly open and save documents in some file formats. For documents in other formats, Word uses file format converters for opening and saving. The most commonly used converters are installed with Word by default - unless the user or the administrator chooses to make them unavailable on the computer.

whitepaper Troubleshoot Spelling, Grammar, and Other Proofing Tools2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Microsoft Word provides a "Natural language" grammar checker that flags possible problems by performing a comprehensive analysis of the text. If the grammar checker doesn't flag some problems, it might be because it is designed to focus on those that are most typical or frequent. It might also be because the grammar checker can't determine the correct linguistic structure of certain sentences. In addition, for some languages the grammar checker doesn't check areas of the document that are likely to contain sentence fragments: headers, footers, comments (comment: A note or annotation that an author or reviewer adds to a document. Microsoft Word displays the comment in a balloon in the margin of the document or in the Reviewing Pane.), or text that's enclosed in quotation marks.
