Word 365
Using automatic hyphenation
Hyphens play two essential roles in writing – they break single words into parts on
syllable boundaries (optional hyphens), and they join separate words into a single
word (mandatory hyphens). In the Automatic hyphenation mode, Microsoft Word
automatically detects syllable boundaries and inserts optional hyphens for words at
the end of the line. If you edit the text in a way that the hyphenated word is no
longer at the end of the line, Word removes the optional hyphen.
Adding shapes into an Organizational Chart
If you need to illustrate the people or department structure of your company or organization, you
don't require specialized software or expensive templates. The Organization Chart template
from the SmartArt graphic gallery provides powerful tools for making organization diagrams.

How to create an organizational chart with two or more connection lines
Microsoft Word (like Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint) proposes tools to
create and update organizational charts,
but only for the hierarchical organizations. A hierarchical organization is
a tree-like organizational structure where every entity in the organization, except the root, is
subordinate to a single other node, i.e., has only one parent.
How to add, subtract, multiply and divide cells in a Word table
Most of the people know that Word is for writing texts sometimes containing tables, and Excel is
all about tables and calculations for them. But what if you need to create a Word table with
formula. Do you need to create a table in Excel and insert it into Word? No, you don't. You can

multiplication, or division.
How to create a flowchart in Word
A flowchart or flow chart usually shows steps of the task, process, or workflow.
Word for Microsoft 365 provides many predefined SmartArt templates that you can use to make a flowchart,

process with a tangled flow or you need a custom layout, you can build a complex flowchart
in Word using rectangular, diamond, round, and other box types.
How to use different page orientations inside one document
Page orientation defines the direction for printing or displaying the document in Word.
Sometimes the page orientation for a particular page has to be different from the rest
of the material. E.g., usually, the whole article, paper, or report is printed in the
Portrait mode, but for a page with the big table, it is more convenient to use
the Landscape mode.
Using the Organizational Chart Tool
The organizational chart, or organigram, is a diagram of the structure and
relationships of the company or other organization. If you have Visio, you can build
a huge organization histogram up to 1000 shapes with a very complex structure. SmartArt
diagrams are much simple and recommended for smaller organizations, but you can add many
visual effects and use Office theming for your organization diagrams. Using Microsoft
Word built-in tools, you can easily create and share functional, divisional, or matrix
org charts. A killer feature of SmartArt graphics templates is that you simply type and
paste the text and the template positions and re-arranges the blocks automatically.
How to do anything with paragraph format with keyboard
No matter what you are writing, a fictional book, a story for kids, a user manual, or
a technical report, jumping between the text and ribbon buttons for formatting distracts
from the work. Shortcut Keys or Hotkeys for changing the paragraph alignment,
style, etc. without mouse movements come to rescue.
How to start a new part of a document on an odd page
When you create a book or other specific type of a Microsoft Word document, you may

requirement of some publishers, even if it creates an empty page between two sections
of the document:
How to put each Heading 1 on the new page
If you need to put each Heading 1 at the beginning of a new page, you
can customize the existing Heading 1 style or create a new
Heading style to put page breaks before the heading. Microsoft Word
automatically inserts page breaks for such style.
