Create Email Signatures
Word 2000 allows you to create multiple signatures for your emails created in Word. To create or add new signatures, go to Tools > Options and click on the General tab. Click the Email Options button. Type the signature in the text box below, type its name and click Add to add it to the set of signatures you can use. You can also set the default signatures for New and Forwarded/Replied messages.

Watermark Your Documents
Creating you own watermark for professional looking documents is pretty simple in Word 2000. First go to View > Header and Footer and click on the Show/Hide Text toolbar button located on the Header and Footer toolbar (insert icon image). This should temporarily hide the text. Now you can insert a graphics object using Clip Art, Word Art or even AutoShape. Place the graphics where you want it to be seen, and adjust the colour of the watermark by right clicking on the object and choosing properties.

Convert Tables to Plain Old Text
Sometimes copying to and fro with a browser results in unwanted tables being created. This can be easily removed by converting the tables into plain text. Choose the rows you want to convert into individual paragraphs and click on Table to Text option under Convert in the Table menu. The separation character can also be specified instead of normal column lines using the "Separate text with" option.

Center Text Vertically
Text in Word can be centered horizontally as well as vertically. For the vertical centering, open File > Page Setup and click on the Layout tab. Select the Center option in the Alignment pull-down menu. Format you document as usual and view its positioning using the Print Preview button.

Access Deleted Items
You can clear text and bring it back using the spike feature in Microsoft Word. Press Ctrl-F3 after selecting the text or object that you want to clear. This will delete the text and append it to the spike. To retrieve the spikeÆs contents and to clear it, press Ctrl-Shift-F3. However, if you need to keep the contents in spike after recalling them, then select Insert > AutoText > AutoText. In the box labelled ôEnter AutoText Entries Hereö, scroll through and select the spike option. Clicking the Insert button will then paste the contents of the spike which can be seen in the Preview window without clearing the spike.
