The Microsoft Office Button
The big button on the upper left-hand corner of the screen replaces the old File menu from previous versions of Word. You'll find familiar features for opening files, saving files, printing files and so on, but there's a lot more here as well, as you'll discover later in this guide.

Inserting Cross References
If you’re working on a long document such as an academic paper, you may want to refer readers to another part of your document. This is particularly true when it comes to charts and figures.

You can insert the cross references manually. However, this will quickly get unruly as your document grows. You’d need to go back and correct the cross references when your document is complete.

Or, you can use Word’s Cross-reference feature. It will update the cross references automatically. You can also click on a Cross-reference in a document to be taken to a reference’s target. Simply follow these steps to use Word 2007’s Cross-reference feature:

• Position the cursor where you would like to insert the cross reference
• Open the Insert tab
• In the Links section, click Cross-reference
• Select the type of item you would like to reference

Tagging Your Word 2007 Documents
Microsoft Vista lets you add tags to your documents and files. You can later use these tags to organize and search for your documents. For example, you may want to add a tag that signifies that a document is still in progress. You can add the tags in windows Explorer. But, if you want to make the processing of tagging documents easier, add tags directly in Microsoft Word 2007. To tag your documents, follow these steps:

• Click the Office button
• Select Save
• Click in the box labeled Tags
• Enter a tag
• Click Save

You can add multiple tags to a document. If you add more than one, separate them with a semicolon. To edit your tags, you will need to use Windows Explorer. Select your document and look at the properties at the bottom of the window. Click in the Tags section to delete or edit your tags. Click Save in the bottom right corner to save the changes.

Inserting Standard Watermarks
Watermarks can help you manage your documents. For example, you can mark a document as a copy or as an original. Or, you can mark documents confidential. You can also assign a priority level, such as Urgent, to a document. To add a watermark to your Word 2007 document, follow these steps:

• Open the Page Layout Ribbon
• Click the Watermark button
• Select the watermark you would like to add to your document

Note:
The watermarks are arranged by type. Use the scroll bar to view all of the available watermarks.

Picture Watermarks and Custom Watermarks
Word 2007 has a number of standard watermarks. You can use them to help manage your documents. But you might want to use a watermark as a design element for your document. Or, you may want to tweak one of the standard watermarks. Fortunately, Word 2007 makes it easy to customize watermarks. Simply follow these steps:

• Open the Page Layout Ribbon
• Click the Watermark button
• Click Custom Watermark
• Select either Picture Watermark or Text Watermark
• If you're inserting a picture watermark, select your image and then specify the options for it.
• For text watermarks, you have more options. You can select the font, size, transparency, layout, and color
• Once you've made your selections, click Apply and OK.

Disabling Editing Languages
S ometimes correct words and phrases are labeled as incorrect. Fortunately, the problem doesn't lie with Word 2007's spelling and grammar abilities. The editing language has simply been changed somehow. You can change your options so that this won't happen again. Just follow these steps:

• Click the Office button
• Select Word Options
• Click Language Settings on the Popular tab
• Make sure your preferred language is selected under Primary editing language
• Select any unwanted languages under Enabled editing languages
• Click Remove
• Click OK and OK

Word will only check spelling and grammar for the language you've enabled. If you need to check spelling and grammar for a different language in the future, you will need to enable editing for that language.
