Program Title and Description:

Styles in Word 2007

In addition to new interface design opportunities, Word 2007 requires a different pathway to modify styles and numbering. Join Sherry Kappel as she goes beyond the fundamentals to demonstrate the differences between working with styles in 2003 and 2007. She’ll expose this new functionality as well as its subtle implications through:

·         A preview of new document design opportunities

·         Digging deep into multilevel lists and list styles (formerly known as Outline numbering)

·         Discussion into initiatives toward global style standards in legal

Sherry will highlight how new interface capabilities within Microsystems’ DocXtools – which fully leverages XML technology – makes style management easier than in native Word alone.
