Inserting and Formatting Tabs

Tabs can provide customized formatting options for our document. After you insert tabs, use the

Tab key on the keyboard to place text at the tab stops. The following are commonly used tabs:

Left Tab Text is aligned left relative to the tabs location

Right Tab Text is aligned right relative to the tabs location

Center Tab Text is aligned center relative to the tabs location

Decimal Tab Decimal is aligned center relative to the tabs location

Figure 2: Text Alignment with Tabs

Inserting a Tab:1. Make sure the tab button at the top left of the window displays the tab selection that you

want to use. If it doesnt, click on the tab button until the desired tab selection appears.

2. On the ruler, place the mouse pointer where you want the tab positioned and click once.3. You can move the tab to a different location on the ruler by dragging and dropping.

Deleting a Tab:

1. Drag and drop the tab below the ruler.

2. When you release the mouse button, it will disappear.

Formatting Text Using Indents

By moving indents via dragging and dropping, you can format specific lines or blocks of text.

Figure 3: Indent Labels

First Line IndentThis indent will indent the first line of text. This can be useful when completing a works

cited/references page, depending on the citation style.

Example:

Klimoski, R., & Palmer, S. (1993). The ADA and the hiring process in organizations.

Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research,45 (2), 10-36.

Hanging IndentThis indent will indent the lines of text after the first line. This can be useful when completing aworks cited/references page, depending on the citation style.

Example:

Klimoski, R., & Palmer, S. (1993). The ADA and the hiring process in organizations. Consulting

Psychology Journal: Practice and Research,45 (2), 10-36.

Left IndentThis indent will indent the lines of all selected text. In other words, it changes the left margin ofthe text you highlight and only applies to the selected text. This can be useful for block quotes.

Example:

When citing long quotations (that exceed three to four typed lines, depending on the

citation style), use the block quote format. A block quote should have narrowermargins than the body of the text. Some citation styles require the text to be single

spaced, while others accept the text to be double spaced. The number of spaces that

the text needs to be indented depends on the citation style as well.

Right IndentThis indent changes the right margin of the text you highlight and only applies to the selected text.

Example:

Student Technology Services offers scheduled training sessions forstudents to attend to expand their technical knowledge and skills.

4. Use the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent buttons on the formatting toolbar to

create lists of multiple levels.

NOTE: You can also type the text first, highlight the section, and press the Bulleted Listor Numbered List buttons to add the bullets or numbers.

PRODUCT.

5. In the Number format box, enter a format for the numbers. For example, to display thenumbers as a decimal percentage, click0.00%.

6. Word inserts the result of the calculation as a field in the cell you selected. If you change the

referenced cells, you can update the calculation by selecting the field and then pressing F9.



9/19


Figure 8: Formula Dialog Box

7. To reference the contents of a table cell, type the cell references in theparentheses in the formula. For instance, to multiply the numbers in cells A1

and B4, the formula would read =PRODUCT(a1,b4) .

Table 5: Cell References in Formulas

NOTE: To perform advanced calculations and/or create charts, use the Excel Table button.

Inserting Fields and Field Codes

Fields are used as placeholders for data that might change in a document and for creating form

letters and labels in mail-merge documents. Some of the most common fields are the PAGE field,

which is inserted when you add page numbers, and the DATE field, which is inserted when youclick Date and Time on the Insert menu and then select the Update automatically check box.

Fields are inserted automatically when you create an index or table of contents by using the Indexand Tables command on the Insert menu. You can also use fields to automatically insert document

information (such as the author or file name), to perform calculations, to create links and

references to other documents or items, and to perform other special tasks.

Field codes appear between curly brackets, or braces ( { } ). To display the results of field codes

such as the results of calculationshide the field codes: click on ToolsOptionsView tab anduncheck the Field codes check box. Fields are somewhat like formulas in Microsoft Excelthe

field code is like the formula, and the field result is like the value that the formula produces.

You cannot insert field braces by typing characters on the keyboard. Fields are inserted when youuse particular commands, such as the Date and Time command on the Insert menu, or when you

press CTRL+F9 and type the appropriate information between the field braces.
