Hiding pictures
Including a large number of in-line pictures in your documents slows down Word's performance. You can
improve performance by replacing actual pictures with picture placeholders.
Using the Organizational Chart Tool
In most cases, it is recommended to use Visio to create diagrams, but in some simple cases, such as company
organizational charts, you can successfully use the built-in Word tools.
Adding captions with AutoCaption
Use the AutoCaption feature if you want to add captions to all items of a particular type
automatically.
How to replace text with a graphic or an object
Although the Find And Replace dialog box doesn't directly support replacing text with graphics or
objects, you can easily perform this action using the Clipboard and the ^c wildcard.
How to create a flowchart in Word
If you need to draw a diagram, such as a flowchart, in the most of cases you need neither Visio, nor
PowerPoint, use Word to draw with AutoShapes.
Snap an object to the Grid or to a Shape
By default, Word makes objects snap (jump) to an underlying grid laid across the document. If you drag an
object, such as a shape, you'll notice that it moves in little jerks rather than smoothly. This is because
of the grid - but because the grid is normally invisible, it's not obvious.
Add charts to the document
Word borrows Excel's charting capabilities, which gives you plenty of power to create attractive and
convincing charts.
Compress the pictures in a document
If you use large pictures in a document, its file size increases rapidly. You can reduce this problem by
telling Word to compress the pictures.
