Microsoft Word Tips:
1. Shrinking a document to fit
If you've created a document and one or two lines spill over unto a new page, you can use the "Shrink to Fit" feature to fit everything on the page. Choose File, Print Preview and click on the Shrink to fit button.
2. Using AutoCorrect to correct commonly misspelled words
Word's AutoCorrect feature is useful for correcting words that you might routinely mistype. Some of the more common typing errors, such as typing "teh" instead of "the", are already included in the list of words it corrects. To see the built-in list of corrections select Tools, AutoCorrect. You can add other words to the list by typing the mistyped word in the "Replace" box and the correct spelling in the "With" box.
3. Changing Your Default Location
