Planning an Office Upgrade?
Many of our clients are currently either upgrading to Office 2007 or preparing for an upgrade to Office 2010.

Microsoft just released Office 2010 to the public last month, and we're busy preparing a set of classes to help people transition to that newest version of the Office applications. Look for those classes on our schedule in the coming months.

Meanwhile, if your organization recently decided to upgrade to Office 2007, rather than waiting for 2010, we have several classes to help you get started now. We just added a few extra Office 2007 New Features classes to the public schedule. You can also check out the full list of our Office 2007 offerings.
Tip of the Month  
Creating Cross-References in Word
If you need to refer readers from one area of a Word document to another, often the best way to do so is with a cross-reference. You can create a cross-reference to a specific page, heading, or paragraph number, for example, and Word will automatically update that cross-reference if the page number, heading text, or paragraph number changes.  To create a cross-reference in a Word document, follow these steps.
  1. Position the insertion point where you want to insert the cross-reference.
     
  2. Display the Cross-Reference dialog box:
     
    • In Word 2007, on the Insert tab, in the Links group, click the Cross-Reference button.
       
    • In Word 2003, select Insert, Reference, Cross-Reference.
         
  3. In the Reference type: field, select the type of cross-reference you want to create (e.g., to a Bookmark, a Heading, or a Numbered item).
     
  4. In the Insert reference to: field, select the information you want to insert in the document. For example, if you chose the Heading reference type, you can insert a reference to the selected heading's page number or the actual text of the heading.
     
  5. In the For which [reference type]: field, select the specific item to which you want to refer.
     
  6. To allow readers to move directly to the referenced item while they're viewing the document on-screen, make sure that Insert as hyperlink is selected.
     
  7. Click the Insert button to insert the cross-reference in the document.
