Powerful Word Tips, Tricks, and Ideas

Microsoft Word is the most widely used word processor on the planet. Even so, that doesn't mean that you automatically know (or should know) how to use all of its bells and whistles. Word is a powerful program with powerful tools—provided you know how to use those tools.

The tips, tricks, and ideas on WordRibbon.Tips.Net are designed for users of Word 2007, Word 2010, Word 2013, Word 2016, Word 2019, and the version of Word provided with Office 365. You'll find just about everything you need to become productive with the program right away. (If you need help with older versions of Word, visit the WordTips site.)

In addition, we publish a free weekly newsletter called (appropriately enough) WordTips. You can sign up for the newsletter by using the simple sign-up form at the right side of this page or any page on the WordTips website.

There are two ways you can use the tips on this site:

  1. Browse through the major categories for this site by choosing one of the topics listed under “Main Word Topics,” to the left of any page.
  2. Enter your question or keywords in the search box at the top-right corner of any page.

Don't worry; all the tips on WordRibbon.Tips.Net are free, and more are added all the time. Check back often for the latest and greatest tips.

This website is part of the Tips.Net network, where you can find all sorts of ideas for making your life easier, more productive, and more thrifty.
