Entering text
and applying styles |
StyleEase defines styles in Word that automate the formatting of your document; each style is defined in accordance with the guidelines of the style you're using, and each specifies the spacing, margins, font, and other paragraph attributes.
In most cases, you simply type your text and StyleEase applies the correct formatting. If you need to change the style of a paragraph - for example, to create a new heading in your document - you apply a style. Note that you can apply a style and thus reformat a paragraph whenever you want.
In Word 2011 on MacOS, or on Word 2003 or earlier on Windows, apply a style by selecting a style name from StyleEase's Format Text submenu. In Word 2007, apply a style by selecting a style name from one of the drop-down lists in the Format section of the StyleEase ribbon tab.
For more information about using our styles, see the Formatting Text page. |
Adding Pages
and Lists |
When you create a new StyleEase document, you can specify that you want to include certain special sections, such as an abstract page, an appendix, or a table of contents, as described on the Creating a New Document page. You can also add these sections (special pages or lists) while working on your documents.
To add a page such as an abstract or appendix, click the Insert New Page submenu in the StyleEase menu or click the Special Pages drop-down in the StyleEase ribbon tab. Then select the type of page you want to insert. The following figure shows selecting a new page to insert in Word 2007.
Note that you can also delete special pages and lists from your document at any time by using the Delete Section command in the StyleEase menu or ribbon tab. |
Adding Figures
and Tables |
If you need to insert a figure (a graphic image) or a table into your document, StyleEase provides commands to simplify and automate the process.
To insert a figure, click the StyleEase Insert Element submenu and then select the Figure with caption command; in Word 2007, click the Figure item in the StyleEase ribbon tab. You are guided through browsing to the image on your computer, and then specifying a caption for the figure. If your document includes a List of Figures page, that list is automatically updated for the new figure.
To insert a table, click the StyleEase Insert Element submenu and then select the Table with caption command; in Word 2007, click the Table item in the StyleEase ribbon tab. You are guided through specifying the layout of the table, and then specifying its caption. If your document includes a List of Tables page, that list is automatically updated for the new table. |
