Creating a Macro to Meet Court Requirements for Document Margins | 2007-12-01 | 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. | |||

Open and Save Files in Formats Supported by Word | 2007-12-01 | 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. | |||

About Preventing Loss of Work | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft Tips |
| Microsoft Word includes a number of ways to back up and recover the documents. The user can further protect the work by using the AutoRecover feature to periodically save a temporary copy of the file one is working on. To recover work after a power failure or similar problem, one must have turned on the AutoRecover feature before the problem occurred. One can set the AutoRecover save interval to occur more frequently than every 10 minutes (its default setting). For example, if the user sets it to save every 5 minutes, one will recover more information than if the user set it to save every 10 minutes. | |||
