AutoSummarize a document in Microsoft Office Word 2007
Software required: Microsoft Office Word 2007
An abstract or summary at the beginning of a document can help a reader quickly
understand the scope of a body of information.
How it works
The AutoSummary Tools in Microsoft Office Word 2007 can highlight and assemble key points of a
document. For example, a student could use Office Word 2007 to create an automatic summary of a
number of long science articles or to quickly create an abstract for a finished history report. Thestudent runs AutoSummarize and then edits the summary.
AutoSummarize analyzes a document and then assigns a score to each sentence. You decide the
amount of detail you want, and AutoSummarize uses the scoring system to extract the key points
and assemble them for you. Choose one of the four types of summaries, and Office Word 2007
displays the extracted text. After AutoSumarize finishes, you can edit the results to fit your needs.
To use AutoSummarize, you must first add the command to the Quick Access toolbar.

toolbar arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar.
