Word Indexes and Special Tables

Use Word for just a short time, and you quickly discover that the program provides dozens of tools you can use to create special elements for your documents. Some of these elements are designed to make your documents—particularly longer documents—easier for readers to use. Chief among these elements are indexes and special tables.

Word includes a complete indexing system that gives you a marvelous level of control over how your index is constructed. It also includes a variety of special tables that can provide a framework for different parts of your document. The most common among these is a table of contents, although other tables (such as a table of authorities) can be easily added.

I've created two e-books that can help you make sense of not only these document elements, but also the tools that Word puts at your disposal to create the elements:

• Word 2003 Indexes and Special Tables
• Word 2007 Indexes and Special Tables

Both of these e-books contain scores of tips, each explaining a different facet of working with indexes, tables of contents, or other types of special tables. Understanding the information contained in these e-books can help improve your skills and enhance your documents. Just take a look at the TOCs for these e-books and you can get an idea of the information they contain:

The downloads contain these valuable e-books in two formats: Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat (PDF). In these formats you enjoy the following features:

• The ability to view, search, and print the book.
• Screen shots that illustrate what you see in Word as you follow the step-by-step instructions.
• The ability to select and copy sections of text, such as macro code.
• Hyperlinks to internal content (in the book itself) and referenced resources on the Web.

If you decide to access the e-book in PDF format (both the Word and PDF formats contain the same information), you need to either have Acrobat or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Many computer systems already have the reader installed. If you do not, you can get it free, directly from Adobe.
