Just
One More Thing About Sections
Having trouble with
the formatting of different sections? Have you changed formatting (maybe
borders, columns, etc.) in one section, expecting the changes to be contained
there, only to find that the change happened everywhere?
When you start trying
to change formatting within a section, you need to pay close attention
to one extra detail.
Be sure to place
your cursor within the section to be formatted and then proceed
with your formatting.
Wait! Don't hit the
OK button just yet.
Before you complete
your formatting, be sure to tell Word where to apply the formatting.
For example, the whole document, this section or this point forward.
Here's a sample of
that choice from the Page Setup window.
If the formatting
you're trying to accomplish can be so easily applied to a single section,
you should find something like this to facilitate the process.
That's it. Now you're
ready to handle paragraphs, pages and sections. It looks like it's time
to get busy with the formatting!
