Creating a Summary

graphics/microsoftoffice28.gif

If you are preparing an executive summary of a lengthy document for business purposes, or have some other reason to condense the high points of a document for your reader, you can use AutoSummarize to help you get started. AutoSummarize looks through your document and tries to summarize the material based on the type of summary you want and the percentage of the original you specify. After Word summarizes the material, you'll need to review it and make necessary changes.
