Centering Tables Vertically and Horizontally in Word 2010

To center your table horizontally, move your cursor to the upper left corner of table until you receive the four-sided arrow. Click the blue arrow which selects your table and then click your center button on the HOME tab or press CTRL + E. To center your table vertically, go to the PAGE LAYOUT tab, launch the PAGE SETUP dialog box (click the arrow by Page Setup), click the LAYOUT tab, and for vertical alignment, click CENTER.

Different First Page Number or Header

When you write your report and insert your page numbering, you may not want your header or page number to appear on your first page.  If you don't want that header or page number to show on the first page, it is very easy to remove.

1. Make sure your header is active.
2. On the DESIGN tab under HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS in the OPTIONS group, click the DIFFERENT FIRST PAGE box.

Your header and/or page number will disappear from page 1 but appears on all other pages.

International Formatting

Some foreign languages use diacritical marks to show phonetic marks.  So, what are diacritical marks?  Diacritical marks are individual marks that add to the meaning of what is written.  The Symbol dialog box has many of the characters needed to type words with special accents.  Click INSERT-SYMBOLS-MORE SYMBOLS-and look under NORMAL TEXT-then in the subset box, click LATIN-1 SUPPLEMENT.  There are also several short-cuts to the most commonly used symbols.  They are listed below:

é	e acute	Querétaro	ATL+130
í	i acute	García	ALT+161
