- Knowledge that software features exist.
- Your ability to recognize when to use these features.
- Your ability to employ these features when needed.

- You may use your book on the practical portion of the next test.
- You may use notes on the practical portion of the next test.

- Hide/Show button
- Frequently we will encounter problems with document formatting
- The best way to find these is through the Hide/Show button on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group.

- Here we can see where the user has pressed the return key,
- Where they have pressed space
- Where they have pressed tab.
- And where they have inserted a page break.
- This is one of the tools which you should be familiar with.
- Inserting text into a document is a nice feature
- This has been useful when we are collaborating and different people work on different chapters.
- Insert Tab then the Text group and the Object Drop down

- Headers and footers are important for many reasons.
- Consistency across the document.
- Important later for page numbers, table of contents and others.
