3-Minute Quick Guide to Creating a Glossary in Word 2007

Good morning, and happy March! I hope wherever you are in the world, the changing of the seasons brings you beauty and refreshment. Here in the U.S. we are looking forward to spring!

Verissimo in Portugal wrote recently to ask how to create a glossary for a long Word project, and I put together this quick guide (3-Minute Quick Guide for Creating a Glossary in Word 2007), thinking it might be helpful for others as well. A well-developed (and consistent) glossary is one of the marks of a well-produced project, and having a glossary you can update easily and automatically (with just a little format editing at the end) can make your good document really stand out.

3-Minute Quick Guide for Mailing Labels in Word 2007

Happy New Year! Heather from Australia wrote last night and asked me a question about mailing labels, and as I began to write out my response, I thought I'd just capture the process and post it as a simple quick-guide for others who may be struggling with the same thing. Mailing labels are one of those Word tasks that if you do it regularly (say monthly or weekly), it's pretty simple and intuitive. But if you just try to do it once a year or so--or perhaps you're trying it for the first time--the process can be frustrating. This simple 3-Minute Quick Guide: Mailing Labels in Word 2007 gives you the simple steps so you can get on with things that are more fun. Download away! It's free. :)
