always displayed as icons when first created, use Object preferences on the
Tools menu.
Some objects, e.g. sounds from Record, are always displayed as icons and
cannot be formatted. Tapping the icon (or selecting it and pressing Enter)
opens a copy of Record so that you can play the sound.
Note! Inserting objects into a file causes a considerable increase in file size.
To check the spelling of a Word file, select the command on the Tools menu
(to check the spelling of a single word or phrase, highlight it first). Spell will
display any words that are not found in the Spell dictionary, or included in the
Personal dictionary (if applicable). You can then:
• correct the unrecognised word. Type in the correct spelling, or choose
from the list of suggested alternatives.
• ignore the word and leave it unchanged in the Word file, or ignore all
instances of the word in the file.
• add the word to Spell’s Personal dictionary.
See the “Spell” chapter for more about spell checking.
To create a new Word file, use Create new file on the File menu in Word or
on the Desktop screen. If you do this in the Word program you can enter a
filename and location and select a template for the new file.
A template is a document design that you can use as a starting point for new
documents. The template can include text, paragraph styles and page layout
information. When you create a new document using a template, Word copies
the information in the template into the new file which you can then change as
you require. For example, you can use the standard Fax template to create a
fax - the template includes the coversheet text and you can add the fax details
and number.
You can select from a number of standard templates, or select the Blank
document template to create a completely empty document. You can only use
a template to open a document so once you have changed the text or
formatting you cannot re-use the template.
When you open a document using a particular template, you then work on a
document based on the template, you do not change the template itself.
However, you can create your own template if those provided are not suitable.
To create a template:
1. Create the Word file with the text, styles, page layout, headers, footers, and
so on that you want to include in the template. Note that other settings
