Building Blocks Quick Parts Building Blocks are part of Quick Parts, which you will find on the Insert ribbon. Quick parts can be used to store snippets of text or even text/images that are used regularly. An example could be a signature line. I actually have a signature that I did with black pen on white paper, scanned, and cleaned up. In Word, I removed the background to make it transparent. I then saved it out as a PNG file so it can be used in lots of applications, including acrobat reader. The following example was created by taking a photo of my signature on white paper and using my phone. I then emailed it to myself to get it quickly on to the computer, I had to clean it up a bit using Pixlr as my camera picked up shadows etc. I removed the background and saved it as PNG In Word, I inserted it and added my titles and other details, just as I would if I had signed it. Image inserted with appropriate text Use Select All to select the signature

  Word Forms Creating forms in Word  - "Let me count the ways". There are a gazillion ways to create Forms using Word. If you are creating the form and then printing it so that it can be filled out later (offline), any of these methods will work. If you are creating the form to be filled out in Word, then you may need to think about which method you use. In Word, the purpose of forms is about gathering the information so it can then be entered somewhere, but it is not as an automated process. For these exercises, I will be created a sign up form for membership to the Mysty River Regional Library Service. I will need to capture the following information: First name & Last Name Residential Address (address lines X2, Suburb, Postcode) Postal address (if different) Date of Birth Home Phone Number Mobile Number Email address Preferred method of contact (Home phone, mobile or email) Parent/Guardian details if under 18 I am sure there is more, but this will do for our exercise.
