Add odd and even page headers to Word 2007 documents

Microsoft Word

Your brochure is ready to print and bind except for the headers. You want to format the headers so that when you open the brochure, page numbers on odd-numbered pages appear on the right, and page numbers on even-numbered pages appear on the left. Follow these steps to add odd and even page headers to your Word 2007 documents:

1. Click anywhere on page 1.
2. On the Insert tab, click Header in the Header & Footer group.
3. Click Austere (Odd Page) or any Header formatted for odd pages.
4. Under Header & Footer Tools, click the Design tab and then click to select the Different Odd & Even Pages check box in the Options group.
5. Click the Next Section button in the Navigation group.
6. Click Header in the Header & Footer group.
7. Click Austere (Even Page).

If your document already has a header that is not formatted for odd and even pages, you don't have to delete it and start over. You can simply convert it to an odd/even format by following these steps:

1. Double-click the header area in your document.
2. Under Header & Footer Tools, click the Design tab, and then select the Different Odd & Even Pages check box in the Options group.
3. Click the Next Section button in the Navigation group.
4. Click Header in the Header & Footer group.
5. Click Austere (Even Page) or any Header formatted for even pages.

You can also create odd and even footers for your Word 2007 documents. Simply follow the steps above, substituting the word footer for header.

Microsoft Excel

Excel 2007 lets you apply the same Text Fill, Text Outline, and Text Effects formats available for your WordArt objects to chart text. For example, you can use WordArt formatting to create an eye-catching title for your chart. Follow these steps:

1. Select the chart title.
2. Click the Format tab under Chart Tools.
3. In the WordArt Styles group, click Quick Styles and then select Gradient Fill, Accent 4, Reflection from the list.
4. Click the Text Fill button and select Green.
5. Click the Text Outline button.
6. Point to Weight and click the 2-1/4 line.
7. Click the Text Effects button.
8. Click Full Reflection, 8 Pt. from the list.

In addition to the Text Fill, Text Outline, and Text Effects buttons, you can access more WordArt options by clicking the Word Art Styles button to launch the Format Text Effects dialog box.

Microsoft Access

Access 2007 makes it easy to build a graph control for your form that will display calculated data--and often better than with a text form control. For example, say your employee database includes two tables: one with employee data and one with data about hours worked during 2007. The database also contains a November Hours Worked query that includes the Last Name, First Name, and Employee ID fields from the Employee Data table, and the Week Ending and Hours Worked fields for November from the 2007 Hours Worked table. You create a form based on the query that includes all of the fields. To add a chart to the form that graphs the total hours worked for each employee for the month of November, follow these steps:

1. Open the form in Design view.
2. In the Design tab under Forms Design tools, click the Insert Chart tool in the Controls group.
3. Click and drag in a blank area of the form to create the chart.
4. Click the Queries button under View and then select the November Hours Worked query and then click Next.
5. Double-click the Last Name and Hours Worked fields.
6. Click Next four times.
7. Enter Total Hours Worked In November for the chart title.
8. Click the No, Don't Display Legend button and then click Finish.

As you click through each employee's record, the Graph control will display a bar chart for the employee, showing the total hours they worked in November 2007.
