Word macros are a lifesaver when you’re short on time. They allow you to perform a series of recorded commands without having to complete each step individually.
For example, you can create a macro that sets your margins, numbers your pages, and prints the document with a single command. Or you can create one that completes more complex tasks.
You simply have to create the macro and record your steps once. Then you can fire up the macro as frequently as you like in other documents. How cool is that!

Gradients. Not only are they appealing, but they’re also fun and easy to make. And you just might be surprised what a difference they’ll make on your web page.
In a previous tutorial, we went over gradients in depth, but didn’t delve into saving the gradients. Saving a fully customized gradient will keep you from having to return to the drawing board. Instead, you can call the saved gradient to use whenever you need, and apply it to your page or an object.
