Let Word Do The Work With Wizards

Aside form templates, you can ask Word to help you

create your document. Word has these little helpers called

Wizards.

The concept behind a wizard is simple. Wizard asks yousome questions, and then, based on your answers, it does

all the work leaving you with a filled-in document.

Some wizards look like this, but some might have other

options so you have to choose before creating yourdocument. You will see these option in your Office

Assistant. When you make a choice the Wizard dialog box

appears.
