Using frames, you can create a layout with different numbers of columns on different sections of a single page. This can be done one of two ways: You can place one set of columns inside a frame that stretches across the width of the page, or you can use frames as the gutter space between the column text. Each vertical gutter frame should be the same size, contain no text and be set to the Wrap Around, Transparent and Where Placed setting in the Frame/Modify Frame Layout dialog box. The column text is typed in the main body of the document (not inside the gutter frames) and snakes from one column to the next. When the text reaches the end of the last column, it wraps to whichever single or multi-column format is specified in Page Layout.
You can reference information in one document within other documents by using the Include power field and bookmarks. Create a bookmark in the first document and save the file.

To merge a letter only to your friends, choose Merge & Print the Data For the Document and check the option for With Conditions. In the Conditions dialog box, specify Group = F.
Not sure how to create an indent or tab? Select the text you wish to indent and hit the tab key. If AutoFormat is turned on and you don't want tabs to be automatically turned into indents, hit Ctrl+Tab instead of just Tab. This will force a regular tab.
Keeping Fast Save turned on for longer documents (over 100KB) will bloat your files, especially if you're using markup functions or making many revisions. Turning off Fast Save forces Word to rewrite the entire file from beginning to end, instead of saving only the last changes made.
Custom dictionaries are just plain ASCII files that you can create with Word. Type the appropriate words in, one per line, then use Save As and select "Text with Line Breaks." Change the extension from TXT to DIC before you save it. You can then use the Custom Dictionaries selection under Tools/Options/Dictionaries to add your dictionary.
Want a line all the way across the page? AutoFormat as you type will automatically convert "---------" or "_______" into a border that goes all the way across the page. By using borders instead of the manual equivalents, your line will always automatically resize whenever you change margins or share the file with others.
AutoFormat and AutoCorrect can automatically format and insert symbols and ordinals from the typewriter equivalents. For example, 1st becomes 1st, 1/2 becomes ½, and (c) becomes © automatically.

For speedy redraws and screen updates in Word, make these two additions to the [Microsoft Word] section of your WINWORD6.INI file:
*BitMap Memory* sets the amount of memory reserved for cache memory for bitmaps. Increasing this number increases the size of Word's bitmap cache, allowing Word to redraw pictures quickly. The default setting is 1024KB. Use the following syntax:
[Microsoft Word]
BitMapMemory=xxxx
where xxxx is a numeral, not followed by KB. *CacheSize* sets the amount of memory reserved as a cache for Word documents. The default size is 64KB. Increasing this setting (in increments of 64KB only) improves the speed of memory-intensive operations like global find-and-replace commands. If your system has a great deal of RAM, you might consider boosting this setting to 256KB or 512KB. Your insertion should look like this:
[Microsoft Word]
CacheSize=xxxx
To repeat almost any action or command, select the Redo button on the standard toolbar. You can also use the Ctrl+Y keyboard shortcut, or select Edit/Repeat from the menu. You can also use an undocumented shortcut by pressing F4.
You can automatically select an entire word by highlighting a few letters within the word. To select parts of a word, you can highlight one letter at a time.

Printing on both sides of the page is easier than you think. Select Print: Even Pages to print one side of the page.Use the tip on Easy Collation to reverse the page order. Then just flip the pile of printed pages over so they will print on the opposite side and repeat this procedure, using the Print: Odd Pages selection and unchecking the Reverse Print Order box as above. Result: one perfectly collated, two-sided printout.
If you'd like to delete multiple files within Word without a trip to Explorer or File Manager, click on File, then select Find File.

From there on, if you want to use your letterhead, just select New and then choose your letterhead template for the new document.
Information from various online resources is often formatted to a 70-space line, so you either remove all the carriage returns manually or use a global search-and-replace that creates one huge paragraph. Here's an easy way to remove the hard returns:
1) Select Edit/Replace. Find ^p^p (^p is Word's shorthand for a carriage return) and replace it with a character that doesn't appear elsewhere in the document. A good choice is the @ symbol.
2) Find ^p and replace it with nothing. (In other words, leave the Replace field empty.)
3) Find @ and replace those symbols with ^p^p once more.
Once you've done this, your document should be in a more readable form.
