Insert a screenshot
You can quickly and easily add a screenshot to your Office file to enhance the readability or capture
information without leaving the program that you are working in. This feature is new to Word 2010.
You can use it to take a picture of all or part of the windows open on your computer.
Screenshots can be used to demonstrate a program, a particular problem a user might be having or
generally when display output needs to be shown to others or archived. Screenshots are also
helpful for copying from web pages and other sources whose formatting might not successfully
transfer into the file by any other method. Screenshots are static images. When you take a
screenshot of something (for example, a web page), and the information changes at the source, the
screenshot is not updated.
When you click the Screenshot button, you can insert the whole program window or use the Screen
Clipping tool to select part of a window. Only windows that have not been minimised to the taskbar
can be captured. This means that you can take a screenshot of any application you have open on
the taskbar. It doesnt have to be a Microsoft program, as this feature can take a screenshot from
anything that is running.
When you choose Screen Clipping, your entire window will temporarily become opaque or frosted
over. After you select the part of the window that you want, your selection will show through this
opaqueness.
Open program windows are displayed as thumbnails in the Available Windows gallery and when you
pause your pointer over a thumbnail, a tooltip pops up with the program name and document title.
For example, if you are in Word, you might see Microsoft Excel - Book 1 as a minimised window that
you could add to your Office file.
Only one screenshot at a time can be added. To add multiple screenshots, repeat steps 2 and 3
below.
1. Click the document that you want to add the screenshot to.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Screenshot.
To add part of the window, click Screen Clipping, and when the pointer becomes a
cross, press and hold the left mouse button to select the area of your screen that
you want to capture.
If you have multiple windows open, click the window you want to clip from before
clicking Screen Clipping. When you click Screen Clipping, the program you are
working in is minimised and only the window behind it is available for clipping.
After you add the screenshot, you can use the tools on the Picture Tools tab to edit and enhance the
screenshot.
The Page Number gallery includes page X of Y pages formats, in which Y is the total number
of pages in your document.

Security
Allow changes to parts of a protected document
When you want to allow changes to only certain parts of a document, you can mark the document
as read-only and then select the parts of the document where you want to allow changes.
You can make these unrestricted parts available for anyone who opens the document, or you can
grant permission to specific individuals so that only they can change the unrestricted parts of the
document.
Add protection to a document and mark the parts that can be changed
1. On the Review tab, in the Protect group, click Restrict Editing.
2. In the Editing restrictions area, select the Allow only this type
of editing in the document check box.
3. In the list of editing restrictions, click No changes (Read only).
4. Select the part of the document where you want to allow
changes.
For example, select a block of paragraphs, a heading,
a sentence, or a word.
To select more than one part of the document at the same
time, select the part that you want, then press CTRL and select more parts while you hold
down the CTRL key.
5. Under Exceptions, do one of the following:
To allow anyone who opens the document to edit the part that you selected, select
the Everyone check box in the Groups list.
To allow only particular individuals to edit the part that you selected, click More
users, and then type the user names.
Include your name if you want to be able to edit that part of the document. Separate each
name with a semicolon.
18
If you intend to protect the document with user authentication rather than password
protection, be sure to type e-mail addresses, not Microsoft Windows or Windows Vista/7
user accounts, for user names.
Click OK, and then select the check boxes next to the names of the individuals who
you are allowing to edit the part that you selected.
If you select more than one individual, those individuals are added as an item to the Groups
box, so that you can quickly select them again.
6. Continue to select parts of the document and assign users permission to edit them.
7. Under Start enforcement, click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection.
8. Do one of the following:
To assign a password to the document so that users who know the password can
remove the protection, type a password in the Enter new password (optional) box,
and then confirm the password.
You must use this option if you intend to post the document so that multiple
people can work on it at the same time.
Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak
passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House123.
Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters
is better.
It is critical that you remember your password. If you forget your password, Microsoft cannot
retrieve it. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information
that they help protect.
To encrypt the document so that only authenticated owners of the document can
remove the protection, click User authentication.
19
Encrypting the document prevents authoring by more than one person at the
same time.
2. In the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane, click Stop Protection.
3. If you are prompted to provide a password, type the password.
Make changes in a restricted document
When you open a protected document, Microsoft Word 2010 restricts what you can change based
on whether the document owner granted you permission to make changes to a specific part of the
document.
The Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane displays buttons for moving to the regions of the
document that you have permission to change.
If you do not have permission to edit any parts of the document, Word restricts editing and displays
the message, "Word has finished searching the document" when you click the buttons in the Restrict
Formatting and Editing task pane.
20
To return to the task pane and find a region where you have permission to edit, do the following:
1. On the Review tab, in the Protect group, click Restrict Editing.
2. Click Find Next Region I Can Edit or Show All Regions I Can Edit.
Using Tables
There may be times when you wish to display text within a table. Microsoft Word 2010 makes this a
very straight forward and simple process to achieve professional looking tables.
Insert a table
In Microsoft Word, you can insert a table in three ways: choosing from a selection of preformatted
tables complete with sample data, by selecting the number of rows and columns that you want,
or by using the Insert Table dialog box. You can insert a table into a document, or you can insert one
table into another table to create a more complex table.
Use the Table menu to specify the number of rows and columns that you want.
21
3. Replace the data in the template with the data that you want.
Use the Table menu
1. Click where you want to insert a table.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, and then, under Insert Table, drag to
select the number of rows and columns that you want.
22
Draw a table
You can draw a complex table for example, one that contains cells of different heights or a varying
number of columns per row.
1. Click where you want to create the table.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, and then click Draw Table.
The pointer changes to a pencil.
3. To define the outer table boundaries, draw a rectangle. Then draw the column lines and
row lines inside the rectangle.
4. To erase a line or block of lines, under Table Tools, on the Design tab, in the Draw Borders
group, click Eraser.
5. Click the line that you want to erase. To erase the entire table, see Delete a table
(on page 25).
6. When you finish drawing the table, click in a cell and start typing or insert a graphic.
23

2. Select the row that you want to delete by clicking to the left of the row.
Delete a table
You can delete the whole table, or you can delete only the contents of the table and keep the
structure of rows and columns.
