Your Office programs are set up to use the most common editing settings that, in most cases, make your work easy and produce fine results. However, if there are some settings that aren’t exactly right for your working style, or if you need to adjust settings to comply with a design or some other specification, you can easily modify the editing settings. Each Office program has its own type of settings, but some universal settings apply to all or most of the programs.
Click the Office button, click the program’s Options button on the menu, and, in the program’s Options dialog box, click the Advanced category. In Publisher, choose Options from the Tools menu to display the Options dialog box, and click the Edit tab.
In Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher, and in the Outlook Editor, select this check box to select whole words when only a part of a word is selected but the selection extends outside of a word. Clear the check box to select portions of adjacent words.
In Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher, and in the Outlook Editor, select this check box to allow dragging content to a new location. In Excel, select the Enable Fill Handle And Cell Drag-And-Drop check box.
In Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher, and in the Outlook Editor, select this check box to display the Paste Options actions button that lets you modify the way content is pasted into your files.
In Word and PowerPoint, and in the Outlook Editor, select this check box to use the Smart Cut And Paste feature so that the formatting of the pasted content will match the formatting in the destination file. In Word or in the Outlook Editor, click the Settings button to adjust the way the Smart Cut And Paste feature works. Continue adjusting any program-specific settings, and then click OK.
