As you see in a moment, every Office app has dozens and dozens of different preference settings you can alter to suit your fancy or needs.

Most preference settings let you enable, disable, or specify values for the way features work in the program. The idea is that you choose the setting that makes the feature work the way you want it to work.

For example, Outlook allows you to set up and use multiple email accounts in the Accounts section of Outlook’s Preferences dialog. Word and Excel allow you to choose the unit of measurement they use for their on-screen rulers and page measurements by default — inches, centimeters, points, or picas. The default is inches, but if you’re more comfortable with one of the others, you can choose it in the app’s Preferences, and all rulers and measurements in that app will be displayed in those units forever (or, at least, until you change the preference setting again).

We discuss some preferences in later chapters, but only ones that are pertinent to the discussion at hand. So, you might want to spend some time experimenting with the various preference settings and customizing your Office apps to work the way you prefer.
