For this series of articles I’ve decided to pass on some tips for some common Office applications following some Spreadsheet development work I recently undertook for Quesada Laundry Services ( http://quesadalaundryservices.com ). I will be looking specifically at Microsoft Word in this article, and Excel next time (there’ll be a bit of homework for Excel which you can use in the 3rd article on doing a mail-merge which makes use of both Word and Excel). If you use OpenOffice the tips should also work in Writer and Sheets though you might have to dig around for the equivalent options.
