MICROSOFT WORD SHORTCUTS

Main Document Mailing List Merged Document

Mail Merged involved the following documents:

Behind Text

This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document but with all text floating in front of it.

Tight

This is almost the same as the square setting, but here the text "hugs" to the general shape of the image.

Square

This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere within the paragraph with the text going around the image in a square pattern like a frame.

Through

This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter, taking the contour and shape of the image.

In Front of Text

This setting allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image was dropped right on it.

Press "Windows Logo" + R then type "winword" then enter.
