7. Using Styles

8. Using Styles
Styles provide single-click access to specific style and formatting combinations.
Word supports two style types:
Paragraph styles
Character styles
Apply styles by clicking a selection from the styles group on the home menu.

9. WHAT IS A STYLE?
A style is a set of commands saved with your document that govern the display of the entire document in contrast to specific commands that only control specific items in the document
You can change the entire document appearance by changing the style

10. PLANNING A STYLE
Creating a style is nothing more than making a template for the structure of your documents
You will decide on font type and size and you can modify line and margin settings
Plan for the appearance of body text and for the appearance of different header levels

14. Using Endnote For Managing References

15. Why use ?
In producing a large research paper, it is highly advisable to record and store all references systematically.
EndNote can be used in conjunction with MS Word to insert “in-text” citations throughout the paper, and to automatically load and format references at the end of the paper. (Note that Word 2007 has now begun to include citation management)
Many journals and conferences ask for papers formatted in a particular style, and will sometimes send an EndNote style via . EndNote also has a series of templates which can be used to format the whole document ready for submission to a particular publisher.
References can be downloaded from most major databases and catalogs in the world into EndNote directly.

16. What is ?
It is a bibliographic database for managing references to be used in the publishing of manuscripts, reading lists, student papers or dissertations, according to a preferred citation style
You can establish a ‘library’ (or many libraries) on different topics, and copy references from one library to another
You can store as many as 100,000 references in one library, and can select from hundreds of citation styles, or change or add your own citation style at any time
Use EndNote while you are using Word, and automatically add your in- text citations, and your end bibliography

17. EndNote X1: What’s new?
