Lesson 12 -Maintaining Documents & Macros2Slide3
Master DocumentsA Master Document is the main document created in Word, such as your research paper. Creating
master documents enables you to work
efficiently
with large
reports.
Long documents are broken down into subdocuments making it more manageable and easy to edit.A research paper or long report contains information such as a title, thesis, introduction, techniques, results, and works cited to name a few.Scanning through the whole document can be cumbersome.Working with a master document you can organize the heading sections into smaller sections called Subdocuments.
3Slide4
SubdocumentsSubdocuments are sections within the Master Document that have been separated into subsections.
When a S
ubdocument is
created, it becomes a separate
file
from the Master although it still remains linked to the Master Document. This allows you to open a small 2- or 3-page Subdocument rather than a 20-page document.Subdocuments are created based on their heading styles; the Subdocument is saved with the heading as the filename.The Master Document automatically gets updated when the Subdocument is changed because the Subdocument is linked to the M
aster
D
ocument.
4Slide5
Outline ViewWhen you open the Outline view from the View tab, the Outlining tab contains buttons for working with long documents and arranging the document into smaller sections
.
The Outlining tab contains the Collapse and Expand
subdocument buttons
that correlate with the
Master Document.5Slide6
Expand and CollapseTo view the Master Document with its contents, click the Expand Subdocuments button on
the Outlining
tab.
Once
the Expand Subdocuments button is clicked, you can switch views and
the document remains expanded. The Collapse Subdocuments button closes the subdocuments.6Slide7
Promote and demoteWhen you rearrange levels in a Master Document, you move the Subdocument heading to another level
by using the commands in the Outlining tab by either
Promoting (move up) or Demoting (move down) the
level.
For instance
, to move a topic in the paper under another heading, you demote that heading. You may decide that the Heading 1 style applied to one of the headings should be a Heading 2. In the Outlining tab, you have options to change the levels of the headings by using the Promote or Demote buttons. It is easy to demote a Level 1 to a Level 2 or vice versa. 7Slide8
MacrosA Macro is a recorded sequence of commands to automate a task and save time in completing a repetitive task. It is a series of commands and actions that can be recorded and run whenever you need to perform the task.
When
a
Macro is created
, you can run it manually or assign it to run whenever a
series of keystrokes are pressed or a button on the QAT is selected.8Located on the View RibbonSlide9
MacrosOnce you determine which method to assign the Macro, the next step is recording your steps.While Word is recording a Macro, you see the mouse pointer change to a recording pointer
on your
screen.
At
this point, every keystroke and mouse click is
recorded.Once a Macro is recorded, you can press the keyboard shortcut or select the button to run it in a document.9Slide10
Lesson 13 - Protecting & sharing documents10Slide11
Protecting and SharingIn Word 2013, Backstage provides commands to allow you to; protect, inspect, and share documents; and manage versions of your
documents.
Y
ou may need
to set a
password for sensitive documents.There are two different types of options to protecting a document:Save as Tools and Restrict Editing11Slide12
Set a Password – restrict editingThere a two ways to access the Restrict Editing pane:On the Review ribbonFrom the Backstage view
12Slide13
Set a Password – restrict editingYou can protect a document with a password to open as Read Only to secure confidential material
.
Another
way to protect
your document
is to Restrict Editing. This limits the types of changes that can be made to the document. For instance, you might want to limit formatting changes to only commentsor make changes that are tracked. 13Slide14
Mark as finalThe Mark as Final prevents recipients from making changes to the document:
T
he
document becomes
Read
Only and that is displayed on the title bar. When a document is marked as final, the status property is set to Marked as Final and typing, editing commands, and proofing marks are turned off. Notice the Marked as Final icon on the status bar.14Slide15
Applying protectionEncryption protects a document so that it cannot be opened without a password.Protecting your document from an unsafe location is necessary to avoid viruses, worms, or
other kinds
of malware that might harm your
computer.
15Slide16
Managing Document versionsRetrieving a document by versions or recovering an unsaved file has been made easier by Microsoft.Word can help you retrieve your document by using the
M
anage
V
ersions
. Document versions can be managed in Backstage using the Info command and selecting which version to save. Word provides an option to Recover Documents by saving every ten minutes by default in AutoRecover.Under Manage Versions, you can also browse for unsaved files. (also found in Backstage – Open)16Slide17
Sharing documentsMany of the documents created in a business environment will need to be shared with others.Before you share a document, it is important to ensure the document has a professional appearance.
Microsoft Word 2013 has three tools to help you with
this:
Inspect Inspector
Check
AccessibilityCheck CompatibilityIn addition, Microsoft Word 2013 makes it easy for you to share your documents with colleagues, clients, and others using several formats, including e-mail attachments, PDF documents, & blog posts.17Slide18
Document inspector (Inspect document)Word contains a feature that removes unwanted information from your document. This unwanted information can be in the document properties.
The
Document Inspector is used to
find and remove
hidden data and personal information in Word 2013 documents as well as earlier versions.
It is a good idea to practice inspecting the document before sharing an electronic copy such as an e-mail attachment.18Slide19
Check accessibility(accessibility checker)The Accessibility Checker determines whether there are potential errors in your document and alerts
you that the content might be
difficult
for an individual with a disability to
read.
Accessibility is defined as being accessible to those with disabilities. Before sharing your document, it is important to inspect your document in case someone with a disability opens the document.19Slide20
Check compatibilityBefore sharing documents, it is good practice to check whether the document is error free and the formatting appears professional.
It
is also important to make sure other people will be able to
open and
read the document.
Word’s built-in Check Compatibility tool ensures that a document’s features are compatible with other versions of Word.The Compatibility Checker searches a document for features that are not supported by earlier versions of Word and lists a summary of these features.20
