How to Use Microsoft Word to Summaries Articles

You can use Microsoft Word to summaries thousand of words for you. This is a very handy tool especially if you are doing research assignments.

The feature is called AutoSummary Tool.

I have added it to my shortcuts so it is easy to access. To do this, click on the Office Button and select Word Options. Click on the Customize tab, select All Commands from the Drop Down Box of Choose commands from and find AutoSummary Tools in the list and then click on Add.

Once your buttons are setup, you can than begin to summaries your text. Simply copy and paste your text from your source such as a webpage into Microsoft Word and then click on the AutoSummary button you just created.

From here, you have a few summary options to choose from such as the type of summary you want :

• Highlight Key Points
• Insert an executive summary or abstract at the top of the document
• Create a new document and put the summary there
• Hide everything but the summary without leaving the original document

You can then select the percentage of the originally text that you want to summaries. Click on Ok and then review your results.

And that is essentially how you summaries text in Microsoft Word.
