If you are a new or seasoned pro of Office 2007, these tips will help you use Word more effectively.

Inserting Watermarks in Word 2007 Documents

You can use watermarks to help you manage your documents. For example, you can mark documents as an original or a copy. You can also mark documents as confidential.

Adding a watermark to a document is simple, follow these steps:

1. Open the page layout ribbon
2. Click on the watermark button
3. Select the watermark that you want to add to your document.

There are a lot of watermarks to choose from. You can use your scroll bar to view all of the available watermarks.

Removing the Extra Space Between Paragraphs

While Word 2007 has a lot of new features and improvements, there are still a few annoyances.

Word 2007 by default will add a space between paragraphs. You cannot simply remove it by hitting the backspace key, and trying to find the option to turn it off can be a little tricky.

If you don’t want word to automatically add the extra space, you can turn it off, but you will need to disable this feature every time you create a new document, unless you edit the normal.dot template.

To turn off the space, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Home ribbon and find the Paragraph section
2. On the bottom right hand corner of the section, click the button that will show the Paragraph dialog box.
3. Select “Don’t add a space between paragraphs of the same style”
4. Click OK

You can remove spaces that are already in your document by highlighting all of the paragraphs and repeating the above steps.
