When you create a document that you plan to distribute to other people, you can make the document more attractive by adding a cover page, and more easily referenced by adding headers and footers that contain information such as page numbers, logos, and disclaimers.
After your document structure is final, you can create a table of contents to give readers an overview of the document content, and to help them easily locate topics of interest. To provide even more specific assistance in locating topics, you can create an index that directs readers to the specific pages on which they can find information about key subjects. If your document includes citations from external resources, you might also want or need to include a bibliography. Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac makes it easy to create precise reference elements such as these.
In this chapter, you’ll add a cover page, headers, and footers to a document to give it a professional look. Then you’ll create a table of contents, an index, and a bibliography.
