This tutorial gives a detailed insight in the more advanced features of Word, that can make the writing and editing of larger documents more efficient. The document treats the use of bookmarks, field codes, numbered equations, macros, reference management, etc.

This document was originally written for my students and my researchers, and every time I learnt a new trick myself, I added it to the document. This version is a complete upgrade for the most recent version of Microsoft Word 365 (version 2026), running on a Windows 11 operating system with a university campus license.

I am very much open to any suggestions/criticisms/comments on this tutorial. If you have any tips or tricks yourself, or you have a beautiful style template or very useful macros that you have programmed, do not hesitate to share your input by e-mailing to Wim.VanPaepegem@UGent.be. I will include those in future updates of the document.
