Comic vs. Arial

"Summary: This study investigated the effect that a font has on the reader's perception of an email. Based on a previous study by Shaikh, Chaparro, and Fox (2006), a sample email message was presented in three fonts (Calibri, Comic Sans, and Gigi). The three chosen fonts represented a high, medium, and low level of congruency for email messages.

Cardinal numbers

Word can format numbers in several ways when they are represented by field codes. The DollarText field code is one choice.

Press Ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of field-code delimiters, which resemble boldface curly brackets {}. (The brackets can not be entered directly from the keyboard).

Between the field-code delimiters, enter = followed by the number. Then append the DollarText field switch. The result should look like this:

{ =34,582.13 \*DollarText \*Firstcap }

There are spaces in the field. Here is how it should be entered:

{space=34,582.13space\*DollarTextspace\*Firstcapspace}

Right-click on the field and choose Update Field. You should now see the number spelled out in words:

Thirty-four thousand five hundred eighty-two dollars and 13/100.

Word provides some other numeric field codes. Here are a few of the more useful ones:

{ =42 \*CardText } - forty-two
(Spell our page numbers with a fields like this { PAGE \*CardText \*Caps } )

{ =42 \*OrdText } - forty-second

{ =42 \*Ordinal } - 42nd

{ =42 \*ROMAN } - XLII

Pick a word

• If you double click on a word, it will be selected.
  Triple click and you will select the paragraph.
  
  
• If you hold down the CTRL key and click, you will select a sentence.
  (Word is looking for a period, so it will also stop after the period in "Mr. Smith")
  
  
  
• Move the mouse pointer to the left side of the document. It will change to a NE (upper left) pointing arrow.
  
  
  • Click once and a line is selected; a line, not just a sentence.
    
    
  • Click twice to select the paragraph.
    
    
  • Click three times and the entire document will be selected.
    
  
  
• Place the insertion point where you want the selection to begin, press F8, and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight the selection. Press Esc to end the extended selection.
  
  
• Click to the left of the first word you want selected. Hold down the Shift key and click to the right of the end of the selection.
