How do I summarize an article that I placed in Word 2007?

[Guest]

I recently purchased and installed Microsoft Word 2007 on my computer but do
not know how to summarize an article if I place in Word. I will be glad if
anyone can help.

Can you explain what you mean by summarize?

Normally, summarization is something done by a human, not by a program.

I am sorry that my message was not clear enough. Well, my old microsoft word would allow me to paste an article into word, and then I could go under tools and use summarize. In turn, that would give me a summary of the article that I originally pasted. Sorry, now back to my actual question, I want to know how to do that on Microsoft Word 2007. I will be happy for more feedback.

OH!!!! Mea culpa!

You mean the AutoSummarize command.

I've seen (and bookmarked) a page that has a map from the old menu structure
to the new menu structure. Sadly, those bookmarks aren't on this machine.
(Yet.)

Hopefully someone will chime in here.

Again, sorry I was so dense.

The AutoSummary Tools button isn't on the Ribbon, but you can add it
to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the down arrow at the end of the
toolbar and choose More Commands. Set the category to All Commands,
click on AutoSummary Tools, and click the Add button.

The AutoSummary Tools button has a down arrow that opens a small menu.
It works mostly the same as in Word 2003.

For an interactive guide to where the old commands went, see
