By Kevin Boone i Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images PDF files and Microsoft Word files are used to display documents in a readable format. The file extensions are proprietary to Adobe and Microsoft, respectively. A PDF is an Adobe Acrobat Reader file. PDF stands for "portable document format." Microsoft Word documents are stored with the DOC extension. DOC stands for "document file." PDF files can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader and FoxIt PDF Reader. DOC files can be viewed using the open-source suite, Microsoft Word, and the Microsoft Office Suite. Microsoft Word is used to create and edit written documents. Both PDF and Word files can encapsulate various types of data including text, images, audio, and graphics. PDF files display the document exactly as it will look on the printer. OpenOffice, Foxit Reader, and Adobe Reader are free downloads from the appropriate websites. See "Resources" below for a list. By Foye Robinson i the letter a image by feisty from Whether you are working with an existing Word document or completed one, you can format parts of the document or the entire file. Using bullets and numbering is a quick way to emphasize lists and paragraphs within your document. A wide page margin can be reduced to fit your content better. You can use tabs to align objects that won't align properly with a space bar. Formatting a document makes a plain one stand out. Create bullets for a list of items or paragraph by highlighting it on your page. Select the "Home" tab in the Ribbon and then click the "Numbering" or "Bullets" button. The bullets will be applied to the selected list. Select the "Home" tab in the Ribbon and select the "Multilevel List" button to create bullets if your list has more than one level. The "Multilevel List" gallery will expand, allowing you to choose the type of list you want to create. To place items under the same level, press the "Enter" key after each item. To place under a different level, press "Enter" and then "Tab." Items under the new level will be indented. Select the text where the tabs will be set or place the insertion point in the area you want the tabs applied. Select "View" and "Ruler" from the Ribbon to make the ruler visible. Then click on the button on the left of the ruler to choose the tab alignment you want (left, center, right, decimal or bar). Each time you click the button, the tab alignment will change. Choose "Left tab" for the alignment. Then click a number (point) on the ruler to set a left tab there. To set additional tabs, click a different number on the ruler. To change the tab alignment, change the "Left tab" button to a different one. Place your cursor after any text you want to format and press the "Tab" key. Your text will be formatted under the set tab. Select "Page Layout" in the Ribbon. Then click on the "Page Setup" button to open the "Page Setup" dialog box. Select the "Margins" tab and choose the margins you want to apply. Go to the "Orientation" section and select "portrait" or "landscape" for your page. Click the "Layout" tab and go to the "Page" section. To vertically center the contents of your page, change the "Vertical alignment" to "Center." Then click "OK" to return to your document. Choose how much text you want to display on a specific page by inserting a page break. To insert the break, select "Insert" and "Page Break" from the Ribbon. To delete a page break, select "View" and "Draft" from the Ribbon. Then click on the page break line and press the "Delete" key. Opening a Word document as read-only helps prevent unintentional changes you make to the document from being saved. Read-Only mode does not allow you to make any changes to the document, preventing you from inadvertently saving changes. We will show you how to open any Word document as read-only. The "Recent" list displays on the backstage screen when you first open Word. Click the "Open Other Documents" link at the bottom of the "Recent" list. NOTE: If you already have a new or existing document open and want to open another document as read-only, click the "File" tab and then click "Open" on the backstage screen. A quick way to access the "Open" backstage screen is to press "Ctrl + O". On the "Open" screen, click "Computer" to access files on your computer, or click "OneDrive" to open a file from your OneDrive account as read-only. Below the "Recent Folders" list, on the right side of the "Open" screen, click the "Browse" button. Navigate to the folder containing the file you want to open as read-only. Instead of clicking the main part of the "Open" button, click the down arrow on the right side of the "Open" button. Select "Read-Only" from the drop-down menu. Your document is opened as read-only, as shown in the image at the beginning of this article. Read-Only mode is similar to the Read Mode in Word. Microsoft Word is the go-to word processor for everything from novels to academic papers. The tool offers many unique features, including the ability to compare two Word documents in order to view their similarities and differences. The Compare tool is easy to find and use in Word. Instructions in this article apply to Word 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and Word for Microsoft 365. The Compare tool is extremely useful for comparing two documents of virtually any type, from newsletters to blog posts and beyond. Some of the most common uses of the tool include: Finding document revisions: Authors and bloggers alike use the Compare tool to find revisions made by their editors if change tracking isn't available. Finding discrepancies in source code: Programmers use the Compare tool to find discrepancies in the source code when creating computer programs. Comparing contracts and legal documents: Attorneys use the Compare tool to find changes made to contracts and other legal documents before finalizing. Comparing resumes: Resumes and other living, breathing documents are edited often. The Compare tool helps you compare these documents to find the newest version. To get started, open the two documents you want to compare. If you haven't done so already, it's best to add an indicator to your documents to indicate the first version and the subsequent version. A simple number will suffice and keep you on track. In one of your documents, locate and select Review in the Word toolbar. Select Compare > Compare Documents to open the Compare Documents window open on your screen. Under Original Document on the left side of the Compare Documents window, use the field to locate the original document you want to compare with the revised document. To change how you see comparisons in your documents, select the arrow in the bottom left corner of the window to find various comparison settings and the ability to see changes in different ways. Select the ones you want and deselect the ones you don't. Under Revised Document on the right side of the Compare Documents window, use the field to locate the revised document you want to compare with the original document. When you're happy with your settings, select OK. If you want to compare the documents in the opposite way, open the Compare tool again and select the double arrows to switch the documents around without needing to find them again. This way, you'll compare the revised with the original. You can choose what you want to label the changes as when comparing the two documents. Simply enter your label in the Label changes with field. A new document opens showing the comparisons between the two documents as traditional tracked changes. To see the changes in detail, select the red lines on the left side of the document to reveal details about each change on the right side of the document. If you continue working in the newly created document, remember to select the Save As icon in the top toolbar. Your document won't be saved automatically. Thanks for letting us know! Tell us why! If you have an existing Microsoft Word document that would augment a document you're working on, you have a few options. But if you want an entire document added to the pages of a second Word doc, your best bet is knowing how to insert a document into Word. Instructions in this article apply to Word 2019, Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2010, and Word for Microsoft 365. Word will insert the document into the current document without changing the formatting applied to either document. Images, tables, shapes, and other objects in the existing document will carry over into the new Word file as well. Any changes made to the contents of the inserted document will not affect the original Word document. Start Word and open the document into which you want to insert another Word document. Alternatively, select New > Blank Document to open a new, blank Word document to insert an existing document into. Place the cursor on the spot in the document where you want to insert an existing Word file. Select the Insert tab. Select the drop-down arrow next to Object in the Text group. Choose Text from File in the drop-down list that appears. The Insert from File dialog box will open. If you select Object from the Object drop-down menu, you can embed an existing Word document as a clickable file from the Create from File tab of the Object dialog box that appears. Alternatively, you can create a new, blank document that becomes a clickable object when saved using the Create New tab in that dialog box. This is a useful way to reference a document without importing the text into your existing document. Navigate to the Word file you want to insert into the current Word document and select it. Select Insert. Word will insert the document into the current document. Save the changes to the combined file, if desired. You can repeat the steps to insert additional Word docs into the Word file you are currently working on. If the file you want to insert has headers and footers you want to carry over into the new file, add a section break before selecting the insertion point in the new document. Place the cursor on the spot in the document where you want to insert an existing Word file. Select the Layout tab. Select the Breaks drop-down arrow in the Page Setup group. Either select Next Page to add a section break and insert the Word document starting on the next page, or select Continuous to add a section break and insert the Word document starting on the same page. Insert the Word document using the same steps listed above. The header and footer will only be applied to the pages of the newly inserted document. Thanks for letting us know!
