3. Desktop Publishing Features High-end desktop publishing programs, such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress, feature lots of tools to help designers produce stunning pages. But these programs are expensive, and require training to use them. However, chances are good that you already own a copy of Microsoft Word. If you need to create documents with drop caps, columns, text that wraps around images, and similar desktop publishing elements, you can do so in Word. Panayiotis Christodoulou

4. Use Styles for Consistent Formatting One way to ensure that a document looks professional and smart is to use the same formatting throughout. You should format every heading the same way, and make all of your body text look the same. You can use Word's styles to apply formats quickly. Home tab  Change Styles  Style Set Panayiotis Christodoulou

6. Flow Text From One Page to the Next Using a Text Box First, create the text boxes by clicking the Insert tab  Text Box  Draw Text Box, and then dragging your mouse to draw a text box on the page. Repeat this step to create a second text box on a later page Select the first text box and click Drawing Tools  Format  Create Link Panayiotis Christodoulou

7. The cursor will change to resemble a jug with a down-pointing arrow in it. Position the cursor over the second empty text box, and click once to link the two text boxes. Now when you type or paste text into the first text box, and there’s too much to fit in the first box, it will overflow into the second box Panayiotis Christodoulou

8. Wrap Text Around or Through an Image or Shape First add an image Insert tab  Picture  Select file Select Picture  Format tab  Arrange group  Text wrapping  Tight Now with the picture selected click again Text wrapping  Edit wrap points Panayiotis Christodoulou

10. Adjust this line by dragging the wrap points: You can drag the wrap points inward to wrap text over the image, or drag them outward so that the text moves away from the image. Drag on the line itself to create additional wrap points, as desired. When you’re done, click away from the image, and the wrap points will disappear. Panayiotis Christodoulou
