Introduction
Microsoft Office has been around for quite a few years, and their latest version of Word (2019) is no exception/Microsoft Word 2019. It’s currently the most popular word-processing software on the market, and it’s used by millions of individuals, businesses, and educational institutions every day.

Step 1: How to Create a New Word 2019 Document
- Click on the Office button in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Click New, then click Word Document.
- Click OK in the Create New Document window that appears after you create a new document in Word 2019 (see screenshot below).
- On your keyboard, press “Ctrl”+” F7” at the same time to make sure you are in Normal view mode; this opens up an empty editing area for your new document
Step 2: How to Insert a Table in a Word Document
To insert a table in your document, follow these steps:
- Open a new document and click the Table button on the Insert tab.
- Click the Table Style drop-down list to select an existing style or create a new one by clicking New Table Style at the bottom of this list.
- Click OK when finished choosing your table style. Your cursor will be positioned inside a new row of cells (also known as columns). You can now begin typing text into each cell or click anywhere within any table cell and begin typing directly into that cell. You can also resize your cells by dragging their borders vertically or horizontally with your mouse pointer; holding down CTRL while you drag will let you make changes to just one side at once without affecting its opposite neighbor’s size as well!

Step 3: How to Automatically Number and Renumber Sections in Your Documents
You may think that the best way to number your sections is by manually adding a section break and then inserting section numbers in each one, but there’s a way you can automatically do this with the AutoFormat tool, which is easy to use.
First, go to File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options.
Click on the Customize AutoFormat As You Type tab in the window that appears next. On this tab, you can change how Word formats your documents as they are being typed. Click on “autoformat options” at the top of this tab if it isn’t selected already and then click on Microsoft Word 2019 “AutoFormat As You Type Options.” This brings up another window where you have various options for automatic formatting across different parts of your document: paragraphs and lists, headings and subheadings, references (footnotes/endnotes), tables and charts—and yes—sections!
Select Section Numbering checkbox under “Set up numbering styles” option; here you’ll be asked whether or not you want page numbers beside section breaks; click OK once done configuring all other settings as needed (or leave them alone). Microsoft Word 2019
Step 4: How to Add Metadata and Track File Changes in Word 2019 (Tip #8)
Once you have the basics down, it’s time to learn how to add metadata in Word 2019. This is especially important if you plan on collaborating with other people on projects or need to share them with others through a third-party app.
To add metadata and track file changes in Word 2019:
- Click Insert > Metadata > Author Information.
- Enter your name and email address into their respective fields, then select Save & Close from the dropdown menu at the top right of this window (or press Alt + S).
Step 5: How to Use Smart Lookup
You can use Smart Lookup when you want to find more information about a specific term or person. For example, if you’re writing a report on the Amazon rainforest, you could type in “amazon” and then choose Smart Lookup to see other information about the region.
You’ll see that there is more than one option for using Smart Lookup. You can get definitions, pictures, and charts from Wikipedia (if available), thesaurus entries, and even related articles from Bing News Search/Microsoft Word 2019
Step 6: How to Use Focus Mode in Word 2019
In Word 2019, focus mode is a new feature that is available in the ribbon. It makes it easy to focus on the document you are working on and avoid distractions. The focus mode can be used for both single-tasking and multitasking.

It helps you focus your attention on the task at hand by giving you options to highlight text and easily correct spelling mistakes in one click, while also providing other tools to improve your writing.
- How To Use The Reading View In Word 2019: The reading view is one of my favorite features of Microsoft word 2019 because it allows me to read documents on different devices without losing formatting and layout details such as font size, style, paragraph spacing, and etcetera (if there any). You can enter the reading view by clicking the reading view icon that appears in the status bar at the bottom of any document window or pressing the F12 key. To exit from the reading view go back into regular mode by pressing the Esc key or clicking away from the reading mode icon in the status bar area.

The first thing you need to do is open up Microsoft Word and create a new document. Once done, click on File > Save & Send > Save as PDF….

Then choose where on your computer’s hard drive it should be saved by clicking Browse Folders and clicking Create New Folder if necessary (it won’t be necessary if only saving 1 or 2 documents). Finally, give it an appropriate name (you can also change any other settings under Options) then click Save

- From this dropdown menu, click on Options at the bottom right corner of it—this will open up another batch of settings that allow you to configure how your program functions overall (and this is where we can edit our customizations).
- Once inside these new settings windows that pop up when clicking “Options”, look for General Options > Keyboard shortcuts > Customize Shortcuts… There should be two buttons underneath this heading: Add and Remove Shortcuts – both take different actions depending on what option(s) users select in their desktop version!
Step 10: How to Insert SVG Images into Your Word Documents (Tip #4)
As you can see, there are different ways of inserting SVG images into your Word documents. You can use the insert SVG command or the insert SVG image command to do this, depending on what kind of image you’re using and how it’s stored on your computer.
