TIME-SAVER TIP: ALLOW WORD TO SUMMARIZE

For some unknown reason, 30 page documents prefer showing up on Friday afternoons at 4:58 p.m. and have to be read before an 8 a.m. meeting on Monday. Fortunately, if it is a Word document, the AutoSummarize feature can help you save time without appearing totally uninformed. AutoSummarize analyzes the document statistically and linguistically, then allows the reader to view key points highlighted in an online document or create a separate summary or abstract. Writers, too, can use AutoSummarize to create executive summaries of specified length (some proofing and editing will be required).
