Introduction Word has several different types of breaks you can add to your document to change the layout and pagination. Each type of break serves a different purpose and will affect the document in different ways. Page breaks move text to a new page before reaching the end of a page, while section breaks create a barrier between parts of the document for formatting purposes. Column breaks split text in columns at a specific point. In this lesson, you'll learn how to insert and delete breaks. Columns are used in many types of documents, but they are most commonly used in newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and newsletters. In this lesson, you will learn how to insert columns into a document and create column breaks.

Introduction When you're online, you use hyperlinks to navigate from one webpage to another. Sometimes a hyperlink will link to a different section of the same page. If you want to include a web address or email address in your Word document, you can format it as a hyperlink for someone else to click. You can add a variety of shapes to your document, including arrows, callouts, squares, stars, and flowchart shapes. Want to set your name and address apart from the rest of your resume? Use a line. Need to create a diagram showing a timeline or process? Use flowchart shapes.

Hyperlinks Hyperlinks have two basic parts: the address of the webpage, email address, or other location they are linking to; and the display text (or image). For example, the address could be http://www.youtube.com, and the display text could be YouTube. In some cases, the display text might be the same as the address. When you're creating a hyperlink in Word, you'll be able to choose both the address and the display text or image.

Insert Hyperlinks Select the text or image you want to make a hyperlink. Right-click the selected text or image, then click Hyperlink. You can also right-click in a blank area of the document and click Hyperlink. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will open. You can also get to this dialog box from the Insert tab by clicking Hyperlink. If you selected text, the words will appear in the Text to display: field at the top. You can change this text if you want. Type the address you want to link to in the Address: field. Click OK. The text or image you selected will now be a hyperlink.

Making an Email a Hyperlink Right-click the selected text or image, then click Hyperlink. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will open. On the left side of the dialog box, click Email Address. Type the email address you want to connect to in the Email Address box, then click OK.

Remove a Hyperlink Right-click the hyperlink. Click Remove Hyperlink. *NOTE* After you create a hyperlink, you should test it. If you have linked to a website, your web browser should automatically open and display the site. If it doesn't work, check the hyperlink address for misspellings.

Shapes Word's large shape collection allows you to organize and design the image you want. While you may not need shapes in every document you create, they can add visual appeal. To use shapes effectively, you'll need to know how to insert a shape and format it by changing its fill color, outline color, and shape style, as well as add 3D effects.

Insert a Shape Select the Insert tab. Click the Shapes command. elect a shape from the drop- down menu. Click and drag the mouse until the shape is the desired size. Release the mouse button.

Resize a Shape Click the shape to select it. Click and drag one of the sizing handles on the corners and sides of the shape until it is the desired size. To rotate the shape, drag the green handle. Some shapes also have one or more yellow handles that can be used to modify the shape. For example, with star shapes you can adjust the length of the points. *NOTE* If you drag the sizing handles on any of the four corners, you will be able to change the height and widthat the same time. The sizing handles on the top or bottom of the shape will only allow you to resize vertically, while the handles on the left and right sides will resize the shape horizontally

Change the Order of Shapes If one shape overlaps another, you may need to change the ordering so the correct shape appears in front. You can bring a shape to the front or send it to the back. If you have multiple images, you can use Bring Forward or Send Backward to fine tune the ordering. You can also move a shape in front of or behind text. Right-click the shape you want to move.
