Chapter 7. Adding Extra Touches

Assign a Theme

If you assign Word's styles, such as headings and subtitles, you can see the difference that an applied theme can make. The theme is even more pronounced when you assign a background color to a page.

Assign a Theme

You can use Word's themes to quickly add a professional look to your documents. Themes are predesigned sets of formatting that include backgrounds, color schemes, and fonts. Because themes are shared among the Office programs, you can use a theme in your Word document to match the same theme in worksheets that you create with Excel, or slides that you create in PowerPoint.

You can add borders to your document text to add emphasis or make the document aesthetically appealing. For example, you can add a border to a paragraph to bring attention to the text. You can also add a border to the entire document page.

You can use headers and footers to add text that appears at the top or bottom of every page.

Footers appear at the very bottom of the page.

Headers and footers are built with fields that hold places for information that updates, such as page numbers or dates.
