In all versions Microsoft Word There are a set of default settings that affect fonts, styles, indents and much more. They can be changed so that when creating a new document you do not have to manually set the necessary parameters each time.
There are several ways to do this.
The first is to change the settings of the Normal template, on the basis of which all documents are created. If you have not changed them beforehand, then when you create a new Microsoft Word document, it will be the one that will be opened.
How to change settings? To do this, open the parameters of each section. For example, in order to set other default font settings, click on the small icon in the corresponding section.

Select the appropriate size, style and font and click "Default". Next you need to choose the second option "All documents based on the templateNormal». After application, you can close the program without even saving the changes. When you create a new, blank Microsoft Word document, the settings you specify will be used.
It's worth noting that the new settings are automatically applied to the Normal style. If you want to return to it in the future, we recommend creating a new style. This is the second way to set new default settings.

Click on the icon to expand all styles and click on "Create a style." After that, right-click on it and select "Change". In the window that opens, specify the required parameters.

There is no need to confuse template and style. The template specifies a large number of settings that will always open if you specify which ones are needed by default. Style affects only some visual elements. It can be used to occasionally change the font, style and other minor details in a single key.
After changing the Normal template, the settings you applied will be considered the default. If you have changed a lot and want to go back, this task can be simplified.
Go to the following path in your explorer: “C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates” and delete the Normal template. The next time you create a new Microsoft Word document, it will be created again with the original settings. This will not affect anything other than the default document settings.

You can also create additional copies of the Normal template in the Templates folder so you don't have to change the settings every time.
In a similar way, you can change almost all the parameters of a Word document in the settings windows of which there will be a “Default” button.
For the Microsoft Word 2003 version, the algorithm of actions is the same. Opening detailed settings any parameter: from font to style, indicate changes and click "Default". Choose "Apply to templateNormal» and click OK.

Popular lately Word editor quite easy to learn. They start working with it with minimal computer skills. In principle, this is true, but often users are faced with a situation typical of Word: one wrong movement of the mouse or cursor arrows, especially when editing, and Word “goes astray” from the font size and paragraph format set in the text. The same thing happens when copying a piece of text from other text files or applications.

Correcting the error is not difficult, but most Word users, as a rule, do not follow the main rule: finally read the damn instructions! - don't know how to do it. What's going on with Word and how to configure it?

When you open a new document, Word starts by reading the Normal.dot file. In different Windows versions and Word this file is located in different folders: Word-97 in Windows-98 stores it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office; Word-98 - in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates (templates); Word-XP - in C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates; Word-2000 on Windows-2000/NT - in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates, etc. In any case, the Norton.dot file can be found, for example, using the Search program in the Start menu. This file stores all the initial settings, in particular the “normal” style format, which, in fact, is what Word “goes astray”. The format of this style is different in different versions of Word: in Word-98, the Times font is set to 10 points, left aligned; in Word-2000 and XR - the same, but the font size is 12 points. In addition, in Normal.dot, by default, hyphenation is prohibited, a list of menus and many other settings (options) are stored.

To set the Word editor to “your favorite size” once and for all, launch it. Close the new document that opens immediately. Select "open file" and enter .dot in the "file type" field. Go to the folder where Normal.dot is located. Make sure that there is no ~Normal.dot file (this temporary file may remain from the first document). Remove it, for example, using Explorer. Open Normal.dot.

Now is the time to set all future documents to the options you prefer to work with. First - the Normal style. Open the menu "Format" - "Style" (see figure). In this window, click the “customize” button, and in the new window, click the “format” button. Select the font type and size, set the paragraph alignment to width and set the paragraph indent in the first line to 1 cm (it approximately corresponds to what was accepted in the old GOSTs: five characters of 12-point font). See if you're happy with other "casual" style setups. If desired, you can customize other styles (for example, headings) and use them in the future. It is useful to go to the "Tools" - "Language" menu, set the hyphenation and remove the default hyphens from capital letters.

In the "AutoCorrect" item of the same menu, you can advise performing the following operations:

  • cancel the replacement of the letter following the period with a capital one (otherwise, say, the phrases “thousand rubles” will appear in economic documents). This is easier than undoing by pressing Ctrl + Z or running the mouse in the edit menu;
  • remove automatic paragraph numbering by unchecking the “Apply to lists” checkbox (remember, have you ever had to edit a paragraph number?);
  • add replacement of two hyphens when typing on a dash. Not everyone knows that a dash should be placed using the Ctrl + “gray minus” keys (on numeric keypad top right) or through the menu "Insert" - "Symbol", and therefore do not use it;
  • carefully examine other replacements and decide whether they are necessary.

It is useful to set page margins and also insert page numbers where they are needed, such as at the top center of the page. It is better to have such numbering in the document right away than to remember about it when starting each new page.

Those who often open files from a floppy disk or use old files as templates for creating new documents should disable the AutoSave mode. In the first case, defective sectors or lack of free space for a copy of the file on a floppy disk may cause Word to malfunction or even cause the file to be lost. (By the way, never remove a floppy disk from the drive before closing Word: This will result in a blue screen indicating that the program has crashed). In the second, changes will be periodically saved, but the original version of the template file will be lost. If you are afraid of losing information due to power failures, then it is better to purchase an uninterruptible power supply device.

However, it is worth recalling that Word installation defaults were introduced for American users and their document styles. They have nothing to do with the standards adopted in office work in Russia. In addition, many experienced users do not like having a document style and typing method imposed on them.

Finally, do the final steps: close the Normal.dot file, open a new document and check your Word settings. So you have learned how to customize Word and, I hope, you will use this in the future.

It should be noted that the new Word settings will only take effect when creating new documents. Old documents will retain the same settings, and when they are loaded, the "Normal" style will remain in the old form. If you want to apply the new settings to old documents that you will have to work with a lot, select all the text (Ctrl + A), copy it (Ctrl + C), then open a new document, select "paste special" and select the "unformatted text" option . Then all the text will be inserted in the “normal” style, and the heading styles will also be replaced. However, this style will also be applied to the tables, which will most likely result in unwanted changes and they will have to be reformatted. The same special paste should be done when copying fragments from other documents.

And some more useful tips.

Saving a file. Try this experiment: open a new document and save it immediately. Open a new document again, type a phrase and erase it. Save the document under a different name. The contents of these documents are the same (there is no text in them), but compare their sizes: the second document will be almost twice as large. They did not expect? The fact is that Word is an interpreter; it remembers not only the contents of the document, but also all the commands you used, including the “type text” and “delete” commands. This fact can be important in two cases: when you copy a document to a floppy disk and when you send a file by e-mail. In the first case, extra kilobytes of a file with a size of just over 1.4 MB will prevent it from being saved, in the second, in addition, there will be a danger that your recipient, if desired, can read the erased phrases and find out what you wanted to hide from him. So, first advice: Before finally saving the finished document, specify “select all” (Ctrl + A) and copy all the text into a new document. This operation will significantly reduce the file size and remove all corrections.

Copy. Often you need to insert graphs from Excel or pictures from PowerPoint into Word. Typically, the “copy” and “paste” commands are used for this. But try double-clicking on this graph in Word: it will open full table Excel with all sheets and data. The same thing happens with presentations. The fact is that Microsoft Office uses OLE (object alignment) technology. This allows changes to be made automatically in Word when data changes in, say, Excel. Is this really necessary? In most cases, it is enough to enter the schedule into a file, but its size will increase unjustifiably. That's why second tip: Paste using the Paste Special command and specify the Windows Metafile option.

Abbreviations system. If you often have to type texts on the same topic, you can advise developing a system of abbreviations, for example: kp - computer; db - database, etc. It is important that the abbreviation itself is not a word. If you set such abbreviations in the AutoCorrect menu, you can significantly speed up text entry. Word will automatically replace such letter combinations with the specified words if they are followed by a space or punctuation mark. In this case, entering capital letters, for example DB, will give a replacement for capital letters - DATABASE. These combinations are not replaced within words. True, you will have to press the Backspace key (left arrow) to enter the grammatical endings of words, but you can get used to this, if you enter such “automation”. AutoCorrect will work for all new documents and will not require setting up the Normal.dot file.

Indexes. If your texts often contain symbols like m2 or indices, for convenience it is worth creating a separate “Index” toolbar. To do this, select the “Settings” item in the “Tools” menu, then, using the “Create” item, you can define a new panel. Next, open the "Commands" tab and in the "All Commands" category, find the icons for the subscript and superscript Subscript and Superscript. Use your mouse to drag the appropriate icons into the new panel. You can, however, do without the panel and simply drag and drop the icons into the existing toolbar.

Generally speaking, the more tables, figures and other objects there are in a document, the less “manageable” Word becomes and editing will create psychological, rather than technical, problems. You'll still have to wonder where the drawing went, why the paragraph format changed, and other similar questions, since the above tips only partially solve the problem of editing in Word. A lot of useful information, in particular on the use of Visual Basic for Word, can be found in A. A. Orlov’s book “Secrets and Secrets of the Computer,” published by the publishing house “Radio and Communications” in 2001.

If you have recently installed (or reinstalled) Microsoft Office, then you have probably encountered the fact that Word stubbornly does not want to remember your font and paragraph settings and changes them at any opportunity. Now we will try to show him “who’s boss” and remember our settings. In my case it is Word 2007.

So, launch Word. Click the “Office” button (the round one in the upper left corner), select the “Open” menu item:

On the left side of the window that appears, find the “Templates” item and select it. A list of folders and documents opened on the right. We find there a file called “Normal” and open it.

Now we need to set our parameters for all new documents. Let's start with the text parameters. On the “Home” tab, find the section with font settings and select the ones we need. For example, Times New Roman, size 15.


Next you need to configure the paragraph parameters. To do this, click on the small arrow in the lower right corner of the “Paragraph” section.


In the window that appears, you can configure:

1. Alignment. Horizontal alignment of text in a paragraph (in our case, choose width alignment)

2. Indents. The amount of indentation of text from the edge of the page margins (leave zeros)

3. First line indentation. I think everything is clear here. (1.25 cm)

4. Intervals before and after. This is the distance before and after the paragraph. (we also put zeros)

5. Line spacing (set to single)


All that remains is to configure the page margins. Open the “Page Layout” tab. In the Page Options section, select the margin sizes you need from the drop-down list. By clicking on the “Custom Margins” button, you can set your own margin sizes.


So, we have set the basic settings for you. All that remains is to save our template. To do this, click on the small floppy disk next to the “Office” button. If you don’t know what a floppy disk is, then press the key combination Ctrl + S and close Word. That's all. Now new documents will be created with our settings.

The main task for most users was and remains typing. An office computer in fact must be configured for such a task, and in fact simultaneously with the appearance operating systems in the sense in which we now understand it, word processors were released. They have come a long evolutionary path, and to this day the de facto standard in the industry has become a Microsoft product called Word. This program provides the user with extensive opportunities for editing and editing text, its design and verification.

By default, Word has optimal parameters, such as margins, font size and line spacing. It is not necessary to change one of these values ​​very often, but still such a task sometimes arises. Due to the fact that some organizations require special document formatting, the user needs to know how to make fields in Word, as well as other text parameters.

Settings

If you have not yet started typing text and want to set the fields as required in advance, then in Word, find the “Page Layout” item at the top of the “Ribbon”. This section contains all settings related to sheet parameters. You can select a package of preset options; to do this, on the left in the “second” line of the ribbon, find the “Fields” button and hover your mouse over it. There is a triangle icon at the bottom. This means that there is a drop-down list under the button. So, in this list, under the “Fields” button, there is a set of designs, each of which can be selected and applied with a simple click of a button. Then for all the text that you print, the fields that you specified will be made. As a rule, Word has in its standard set most of the settings needed in everyday work, so try to use this method first.

However, sometimes this is still not enough. It happens that a document has special design requirements, and it may happen that the preset sets do not meet these requirements. Then you will have to set the fields manually. In Word, as in other word processors on the market, there is such an opportunity, and the user can freely use it. To do this, you need to find the “Custom fields” line at the bottom in the same page formatting section, moreover, in the same drop-down menu. Clicking the mouse will open a dialog manual settings. In it, by clicking on the sliders next to the desired items, you can make the fields larger or smaller, or remove them altogether; There, if necessary, you can change the page orientation from portrait to landscape. A sample will be displayed at the bottom of the window to guide you how the text on the page will look after changing the parameters. Even below this sample there is an “Apply” item, in which you can indicate whether the entire document will be changed according to these rules.

If you have already started typing text and then decided to change the fields in Word, as you understand, there is no need to erase everything. You can set the page parameters in exactly the same way, apply them to the entire document, and continue working. But when you need to change or remove fields for a specific fragment, simply select it with the mouse or using hot keys on the keyboard (place the cursor at the beginning of the selected fragment, hold down Shift and use the arrows to select the text), and then in the fields change dialog at the very bottom window, apply the settings only to the selected text.

Special cases

Some types of text require non-standard formatting. For example, if you are preparing text for a magazine or brochure. A magazine or book is characterized by mirror image of margins, when the left margin of the first sheet is the same size as the right margin of the next one. To do this, in the collection of fields in the “Page Layout” section there is an item with the appropriate name. Once you select it and apply it to the entire document, you can turn it back on
