Insert different headers and footers on odd and even pages

You can easily add a professional look to a long document by adding different headers and footers on odd and even pages.

page set up headers and footers
Header and footer options are the page set up feature.

Go to Page Layout tab then select Page Set Up options.  Choose the Layout tab, and tick the Different Odd & Even box and make sure you have selected to Apply to whole document box.  Click OK.

Back in the document, you can click below the usual text and this brings up up the Header and Footer sections.

By clicking below my main text, Word 2010 opens up the footer section for adding details.

Type in the odd page footer.  I’ve typed “Proposal for discussion”.

Scroll down to the foot of page two, where the box will be labelled Even Page Footer. I’ve typed in “Meeting date 8th October 2012” into this box.

It is easy to close the header and footer dialogue by clicking back into the main body of the document.

Nice!

How to add a diagram to a Word 2010 document with SmartArt graphics

One of the “wow” moments on my recent Microsoft Word Course was learning how to add a diagram to Word 2010.  (Alright, I know, I’m easily pleased).

I was worried that I’d have to try and figure out how to create boxes, get them to fit, then get the text to fit…I wasn’t looking forward to it.

Once again, I shouldn’t have fretted.  Word 2010 has a selection of diagrams that I can click on, and get on working (this saves me a huge amount of time, and muttering under by breath).  I can produce something that looks professional, gets my message across and doesn’t take me hours.

From a new document, I go to the Insert tab.

SmartArt is located in the Insert tab.

2010 gives me a whole range of artwork choices.  I need a process model, so I’ve selected that option and Word gives me loads to choose from.

I selected “process” and got all these choices…

I’ve chosen a simple process model (“basic chevron process”) and now I can add text and make any changes I want to.
