10 Microsoft Word Secrets You Should Know

FREE Microsoft Word Cheat Sheets: Many of you might now know that for years I was a Certified Microsoft Word Trainer when I worked in the corporate world during the 1980s and 1990s.  I’ve taken my years of knowledge and created two new cheat sheets on Microsoft Word for those genealogists who use Word for creating genealogy reports and publish family history books. These cheat sheets are available as Amazon Kindle print replicas – SCROLL TO THE END for information on how to access Free Kindle items without having a Kindle device.

10 Microsoft Word Secrets You Should Know

Microsoft Word – Why Does It Seem So Tough?: Let’s be honest: how many times have you opened up Microsoft Word and thought, “Uh-oh, here we go again”? Whether it’s funky line spacing, a rogue image dancing around the page, or margins that never line up the way you want, Word can drive any of us to frustration.

But I’m here to tell you there’s hope—even if you think Word is the stuff of nightmares. After almost two decades wrangling huge Word projects in fast-paced corporate law settings, I’ve gathered my share of tips, tricks, and yes, even some closely guarded “secrets.” So let’s dive into why Word is so challenging for most of us and how you can make peace with it.

My first go-round with Word was in the word processing center of a large law firm, where deadlines were tight, documents were massive, and accuracy was everything. One slip-up could mean real financial impact for a client—or even a lost court case! When my employer switched from WordPerfect (a program I loved) to Word, we received five days of immersive training from one of the best Microsoft Office trainers in the country. By the end of that week, Word and I had reached a truce of sorts. And I learned you really can teach an old dog new tricks.
