1. How to write a summary by MS Word? A step by Step Tutorial by Mohammad Ali Nasrollahi
Automatically summarize a document
AutoSummarize identifies the key points in a document. AutoSummarize works best on well-
structured documents, such as reports, articles, and scientific papers.
IMPORTANT Before you can use AutoSummarize in Microsoft Office Word 2007, you need
to add AutoSummary Tools to the Quick Access Toolbar.
How AutoSummarize works
AutoSummarize determines key points by analyzing the document and assigning a score to each
sentence. Sentences that contain words used frequently in the document are given a higher score.
You then choose a percentage of the highest-scoring sentences to display in the summary.
You can select whether to highlight key points in a document, insert an executive summary or
abstract at the top of a document, create a new document and put the summary there, or hide
everything but the summary.
If you choose to highlight key points or hide everything but the summary, you can switch
between displaying only the key points in a document (the rest of the document is hidden) and
highlighting them in the document. As you read, you can also change the level of detail at any
time.
IMPORTANT Complying with all applicable copyright laws is your responsibility. You
should review the accuracy of any summary because it is, by its nature, not the entirety of the
work.
