First, start the automatic summary writing function. Word 97/2000/XP/2003 supports this function. After opening the paper to be edited with Word, select Auto-Write Abstract from the Tools menu to pop up the dialog box. If you don't have the full version of Word installed, you will be prompted to install this feature on the installation disk of Office. Second, the function setting is introduced. Word itself provides four different types of abstracts to choose from. The following are explained separately: 1. Highlight key points: If this item is selected, Word will analyze and extract the paper, and highlight the central sentences and keywords in the original document in the form of highlighting. Features: concise and to the point, highlighting the key points. 2. Insert the abstract or extracted text at the top of the document: Word automatically extracts the main points of the paper and automatically puts the abstract before the paper, leaving the text unchanged. Features: most papers use this format, of course, you should also choose this option. 3. Create a new document and put the abstract in it: automatically generate a new document using the extracted keywords. Features: The original document has not changed in any form. 4. Hide other contents except the abstract without exiting the original document: only the key sentences and keywords searched by Word are left, and other contents in the document are automatically hidden. Features: it is suitable for reading long documents, and the main points of the article are clear at a glance. Third, the details are set. After the abstract type is completed, the details of the abstract need to be adjusted. The length of the paper abstract can be set in the abstract length option; Click the drop-down arrow to have three choices: by sentence number, word number and proportion. Tip: If every point of the paper is concentrated, then the abstract words are evenly distributed in all paragraphs of the paper, and the percentage can be smaller, such as about 5%. If it is dispersed, the value can be larger, such as 15%. Four. If you choose the first summary, you will feel that the summary is not intuitive after the above settings. You can also directly adjust the small left/right arrow on the floating box of automatic summary writing to gradually reduce/increase the proportion of summary; At the same time, you can click the leftmost icon to switch between highlighting and displaying only the summary. Isn't this intuitive? After setting, click OK to exit. What needs to be remembered is that after you finish the automatic writing of your paper with Word, you need to polish it, so as to achieve perfection.
