your document consistent. A style is a collection of formatting commands under a
given name so it can be easily accessed.

Styles found in Word 2016

When inserting images, charts, shapes, SmartArt, or tables into a document, it can
be of great benefit to insert Alternative Text along with the object so that there is
context for the image if it is unclear to the reader. Ensuring this is consistent
throughout a document will improve the formatting and readability.

3.9 ADDING FORMULA IN TABLE


Concepts
When a table in a document contains a list of numbers that need a total, you can
insert a sum formula field that will automatically calculate and display the sum
result. The sum formula field will also update the sum result if there are changes
made to any of the numbers in the list, helping to keep the document accurate and
error free.

Note: You can't just add up numbers on different lines - you can only add up
numbers that are presented in either a column or a row inside a table.

Concepts
A form in Word is used to collect information from people. This is done using various
types of control boxes, that require the user to enter, tick, or select content. A form
may look similar to a table. The form can be printed and completed on paper or it
can be completed from within Word. In Word the form should be protected so that
only relevant areas of the form can be accessed by the user. When you are creating
or working with forms, you need to display the Developer tab on the Ribbon.

Steps
Open CUSTPR1.docx.
Create a form by adding content controls to a template or document.
If necessary, display the formatting marks.

LESSON 6 -
CREATING MASTER DOCUMENTS

In this section, you will learn how to:

• Use a master document

• Insert subdocuments

• Collapse/expand subdocuments

• Unlink subdocuments

• Split and merge subdocuments

• Lock subdocuments

• Open subdocuments
ICDL Advanced Word Processing Lesson 6 - Creating Master Documents

6.1 USING A MASTER DOCUMENT


Concepts
The Master Document feature in Word makes it easier to work with very large
documents by dividing the document into more manageable parts called
subdocuments. Each subdocument is a separate word document stored in a folder
that can be opened and edited separately in Word. The master document contains
a link to each subdocument.

Certain tasks, such as generating a Table of Contents, Index, page numbering or


printing the whole document, may require that all the subdocuments are combined
and displayed in the Master Document. This is done by clicking on the relevant links
in the Master Document to open each subdocument.

In Outline view a Master Document can be created from a new or an existing


document. One or more existing files can be inserted as subdocuments or new
subdocuments can be created by using the Create Subdocument button in the
Master Document.

The Outlining tab provides buttons used to create, insert, and manage the master
document and its subdocuments.

Steps
From the Student Folder, open MASTER.docx.

Use a master document.

If necessary, display the formatting marks.

1. Select the View tab on the Ribbon. Click View


The View tab is displayed.

2. Click the Outline button in the Document View

Outlining tab is displayed on the Ribbon.

Lesson 6 - Creating Master Documents ICDL Advanced Word Processing

6.2 INSERTING SUBDOCUMENTS


Concepts
Files inserted into a master document are called subdocuments. Subdocuments
are linked to their source files. Therefore, changes made to a source file are
automatically updated to the master document.

When you insert a subdocument into a master document, the subdocument text
appears in Outline view. You can then use buttons available on the Outlining tab
to collapse and expand the subdocument.

Word inserts a Next Page section break before each subdocument you insert and a
Continuous section break after it.

If the master document and the subdocuments contain duplicate style names with
different formatting, the subdocument text adopts the master document formatting
when inserted into the master document. For example, if the Heading 2 style is
left-aligned in the subdocument but centred in the master document, all
subdocument text formatted with the Heading 2 style will be centered in the master
document.

Steps
Insert subdocuments into a master document.

If necessary, switch to Outline view and display the Outlining tab.

1. Position the insertion point in the document Press [Ctrl+End]


where you want to insert a subdocument.
The insertion point is placed in the desired
location.

2. Select the Show Document button.

as the title, author, publisher and year of publication. You can add many types of
citations to your Word documents such as journal articles, websites, electronic
sources, films, patents etc.

An index usually appears at the end of the document. Word can create an index
with up to three levels, which means that each index entry can have one level of
subtopics and each subtopic in the second level can have one additional level of
subtopics. In addition, you can create cross-references to other index entries. A
cross-reference refers the reader to a different topic.

10.7 INSERTING A CAPTION


Concepts
If you have created a document that contains images as well as text, you may want
to add captions to those images in order to describe or explain them. A caption is
text linked specifically to an image which, is separate from the main text of the
document. They are often used to provide extra information and to help the reader
correctly identify or interpret the image.
You can also caption tables, equations, and other items using the same method.

Steps
Open CAPTION.docx.

Insert a caption.

1. Select the item to which you want to add a Click the first image on the first

[Delete]. Select the Figure 2 box and press [F9] at the caption. Notice the updated
caption.

10.8 INSERTING A TABLE OF FIGURES


Concepts
A table of figures can list, tables, images, graphs and equations in a document. To
create a table of figures each table, image, graph or equation requires a caption.
Each caption will have a figure number and item description. When creating a table
of figures there are various formatting options to choose from. In a table of figures
each figure can show a page reference or a link.

10.9 INSERTING A CROSS-REFERENCE

such as a specific page, a heading, a subheading, a bookmark, a figure, or a table.
The reference works as a hyperlink, so that a reader viewing the document
electronically can directly go to the referred item. The hyperlink in the reference will
automatically update if the item is moved within the document or the page
numbering changes.

Steps
Insert a cross-reference.

Scroll down to page 2 of the CAPTION.docx document.

Update Field. To delete a cross reference, double click the cross-reference and
press the delete key.

10.10 INSERTING FOOTNOTES


Concepts
Footnotes are small notes that appear at the end of a page. Each note has a
number or letter that references a piece of text somewhere in the page above it.
After each footnote number there can be a line of text giving further information or
comment about a topic being mentioned in the page above it, or giving a reference
to where further information can be found.
Endnotes are similar to footnotes in that they both consist of two linked parts – the
note reference mark and the corresponding note text – but endnotes appear at the
end of a document rather than at the end of each page.
Sometimes it is better to use endnotes rather than footnotes if it appears that the
document will have too many footnotes at the end of each page therefore taking up
too much space and making it difficult to read.

Concepts
Mail merge is a feature in Word that makes it easy to send the same letter to many
different people with different addresses. This is achieved by creating the letter and
then merging it with a data source that contains a list of individual names and
addresses and possibly other specific data that is needed. The end result is an
individual letter for each name and address on the data source ready to distribute.
