Hello everyone, and
welcome to Office Pro TV.
My name is Von Smith, and
in this course overview,
we're going to be reviewing what we
are doing in our Word 2016 Expert Series.
So we're gonna be talking about,
well, what are we gonna be talking
about in this series, and
what episodes are we going to be covering?
Who is our target audience, what should
you know before you get started?
And any other extra information and
tidbits that I have for you.
So topics to be covered,
some of my favorites in all of Word.
Well, actually a lot of
them are my favorites,
I think I said that about every
single one of these things.
But long document creation, you have maybe
more than 100 pages, maybe 50 pages.
So, there are things you can do with
creating a long document, if you really,
really help,
that Word is really good at it.
So, we're gonna be talking about
bookmarks and cross-references.
The things you see in your page that says,
see page so on and so forth.
[LAUGH] Well, you could go ahead and
add that right from within Word with
a cross-reference, and
create hyperlinks, super powerful.
We also are going to be generating
a table of contents, and
then an index that goes in the front and
back of your book.
Table of Contents, really handy and really
easy, just gotta use those styles and
use those heading levels.
And the index is just as easy,
with just a little bit more work
with marking up your entries and
generating that index.
The nice thing is, all of these things,
when you start modifying, you can update
them really easily, by just updating
the fields from this generated content.
We'll also be adding footnotes and
endnotes,
those things that I used to struggle
with when I was writing term papers.
And those different things in school where
you had to get the numbers just right.
Word it makes it so much easier, and
then on that same note, generating
a bibliography and citing your works.
Man, when this came into Word,
it was of those,
I really wished they had this when I was
in high school and writing these papers.
It would take those nights
that I spent all night crying,
because I couldn't get the typewriter or
whatever to work, or
maybe even if it's writing on pen and
paper.
Goodness gracious, that was a lot of fun.
We're also gonna be talking
about master documents, and
how you can create one big document
with little subdocuments, and
how they're all connected, so
it's a really powerful episode as well.
Collaborating, something I
love to do with people, so
if you work with multiple people on
revisions and editing of your documents.
How to implement tracked changes is
going to be really helpful for you.
How to combine all of those
tracked changes together, and
to be able to accept or
reject some of those changes that people
have made will also be part of that.
We're gonna be talking about adding
comments into your documents, and
how you can use those and
how to accept or reject, or
talk within those comments back and
forth with your collaborators.
We'll also be discussing how you
can collaborate in real time online
through Office 365,
if you have have that capability, and
you have an Office 365 subscription.
And they've really come a long way in
how you can collaborate in the cloud
to where it's a really, really helpful and
efficient way to talk to your different
people in where you are working with.
Security and document properties, another
area that's really great to know about.
Of all that hidden information
into your documents,
in the document properties, that metadata,
and how we can use that efficiently.
And then document security,
how do I make this a true read only file?
How do I allow people to
only fill in forms and
other different types
of document security,
with adding digital signatures and adding
passwords, to protect that document?
And then we'll also throw
in some additional topics,
that's where I put in the forms.
Something that Word can do,
it's actually pretty simple
once you know where you can actually find
the form fields in that developer tab.
And a few of the other additional topics
that we'll be adding throughout time.
Who is this product, what is this
show meant for, who is this for?
We have all Office users, now,
I have Office in capital letter because it
doesn't mean that you're physically
in an office environment.
You could be an office of one,
you could be a school or university, so
it's office with a capital, as in the
products, you are using Microsoft Office.
And Word, of course, is its flagship
product that many people use.
And I've thrown this,
intermediate to advanced Word users.
So you will need to have a pretty
substantial amount of information or
knowledge about Word.
Now I've changed this from foundational,
when we did our advanced overview,
I went to substantial.
So, you need to be comfortable
within Word, pretty comfortable,
to when you know all about styles.
You know about sections and
page layouts, and
you know where everything
is on the ribbon.
So, some of those things I
might start glossing over,
like selecting ranges of text.
It should be, yeah, I know how to do that,
I know what a style is,
I know how to modify it.
I know what you're talking about when I
go into the modify styles dialog box,
so that's why I threw
this up to a substantial.
And of course, the Windows operating
system, you do need to know how to
work within Windows, and get to your File
Explorer, and different things like that.
And, of course, always having familiarity
with other Office products is always
helpful, because the options
are always in the same place,
no matter you're using Word or Excel.
So you're familiar with that and
you know where your ribbons are and
you're familiar with that interface.
Each product does something different, but
some of those features will overlap
from one product to another.
And then my extras, there's always going
to be other options on how to do things.
I can already tell you I remember
in the footnotes episode that I
was showing you a little button up on the
ribbon of how you can jump back and forth.
Well, you could also right click on it,
and I actually just didn't show it to
you that way,
I just decided to go through the ribbon.
So there's always that right clicking or
there's the same button on another
tab that maybe I haven't covered.
So there's always gonna to be multiple
ways to accomplish the same thing.
Updates happen, we talk about this
a lot throughout our episodes.
These products, if you're on an Office
365 subscription, they do update.
And if you're on the cycle that updates
every month or every four months, you
might see things differently now in your
Office environment than the time of this
recording, of where my Office environment
might have been on a different update.
So just know that that will happen, and
a lot of times, your updates are for
the better, and it adds new features,
which can be really fun.
Searching for answers, using the oracle,
the oracle as in the internet, and
you go out there and
search for your answers.
There are so many different things that
you can learn about Word that we can't
cover all in these episodes.
I try give you as much as possible, and
things that I feel are really helpful and
important.
But you're gonna run into things that are
kind of weird sometimes, and you need to
know how to fix it, so consulting the
oracle is going to be really important.
And everybody uses Word differently, so
if we're covering a topic where it's like,
I'm never gonna need to
generate a bibliography,
because I don't need to cite my work.
That's fine, but you never know when
your child, or maybe you niece or
nephew, or maybe just a friend,
is going to be writing a term paper.
And they need to cite their work,
and you're like, hey, I know how you
can actually generate a bibliography,
and you can pass along that knowledge.
So just knowing that it can do it
can be really helpful for you, or
somebody else down the line.
And of course, having fun,
I like to have fun in these episodes.
I actually try to keep it light and
keep it cheery so
when we're learning about this,
it is fun to learn.
And I hope you will enjoy it, and
that way, once you learn it, it'll make
it to you can have more fun using Word,
cuz you'll know how to work with it.
So I look forward to seeing you soon,
and stay around.
