Introduction to Microsoft Word 2007 Page Layout Tab1OverviewThe
Page Layout Tab lets you control the look and feel of your document
in Microsoft Word 2007This is more at the page level as opposed to
the element level You can apply a global design to your file by
using one of the available Built-In themes and color schemes Using
the Page Layout Tab, you can also change the document orientation,

you transform the entire design using a combination of colors, font
styles and formatting effectsThemes in Microsoft Word 2007 won't

Built-In Theme ColorsWhen you select this command, you will get a
drop down list of several choices, well pick the Office color The
last change I am going to do is apply one of the Theme FontsThis
will leave the color scheme in place and just adjust the fonts. I
will switch from Concourse to Trek option Notice these changes do
not affect the body text as we do not have a style applied to
it
