Where is Close All and Save All Command in Word 2007?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

In previous versions of  MS Word it was easier to use the Close All and Save All command.  All you had to do was click the Shift key and hold it while you simultaneously clicked on File. The menu would then display those commands for you.

Unfortunately, these commands are not as readily available to you in version 2007.  Fear not though, you can still use these commands.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Click the small drop-down arrow to the right of your Quick Access (QAT) toolbar and select More Commands.
  2. Click on Customize in the left column.
  3. Click on Choose Commands From drop-down arrow and select Commands Not in the Ribbon.
  4. Select Close All.
  5. Click on the Add button.
  6. Select Save All.
  7. Click on the Add button.
  8. Click OK.

You will now have access to those commands on your QAT.

CREATING AND SAVING NEW STYLES IN OPENOFFICE WRITER

Monday, April 13th, 2009

As in MS Word, you can create your own styles, both character styles and paragraph styles. There is another type of style that you can create in Oo Writer, which is the frame style, that controls objects like graphics, frames, etc., but we will cover that in another article at a later date.

Just like in MS Word, paragraph styles affect indentation, spacing, font, and font size and apply to the entire paragraph. Character styles affect the size and color of individual characters.

Creating a new style in Oo Writer is just formatting within the Styles and Formatting window.

Follow the steps below:

  1. Select your text.
  2. Choose Format | Styles and Formatting to display the Styles and Formatting window.
  3. Click the appropriate icon at the top for the type of style you wish to create. Right-click in the blank part of the window and choose New.
  4. In the Style window, name your style and specify your other formatting options.
  5. Click OK to close the window and save your style.

You can modify your style much like you do in MS Word – simply select the style and choose Modify.

Yet again, these two programs are not all that different from one another except OpenOffice is FREE.
