A 30% of the available battery would be fine. Also, at the time of reformat, you will need to provide the correct Security Code a.k.a Lock Code.So keep the right code ready.

Microsoft Word or the MS Word is an advanced word processor designed and developed by the Microsoft Corporation. The program is a component of the Microsoft Office, it is also available as standalone and included with the Microsoft Works Suite. The latest version of Microsoft Word are Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows and Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac. You can reformat your word document to fit in to few pages as possible. By this you can save the number of papers used, mostly when you have to take copies in plenty.

Delete all unnecessary line breaks>>

To start with, delete all unnecessary line breaks. Line breaks are places where you hit enter or also the blank space between two paragraphs. Now instead of starting a paragraph by a new line after leaving one or two blank lines, you can cut the need to leave blank lines and start in the very next line after adding a tab. That way you can distinguish that its a new paragraph.

Adjust the margins>>

You can considerably save the amount of paper used by moving each of the four margins about half an inch. Now to do this, you can look at the top of your word document where the ruler is. And to the right/ left side there should be a dark shaded area with a small pentagon marker coming at the border. You can move the pentagon’s position about half an inch into the darker area. Now repeat the same for the remaining three sides.

Adjust the font size>>

Adjusting the font size can also save much paper. If you are on a higher fornt size, always bring it to a lower size. I would suggest 11 point would be very fine.  You can save so much of space, its easy to read without difficulty as well. But never go below 11.

Before you start reformatting your device, it should be known that you will lose every data stored in your phone. Everything including your contacts. Sim contacts will be left intact, but everything else stored in the phone will be lost. So backup whatever you think are important. Syncing the device with your PC is a good choice. To prevent unauthorized reformats, you need to provide the Lock Code/ Security Code to initiate the process. Keep ready your Security Code. If you have never changed the code anyway, the preset code would be 12345. Next is the battery. To prevent any possible data corruption while reformatting, you need to have sufficient battery. A 30% would be fine.

Be sure not to leave the key press or you may need to start over again.

I’m gonna discuss a few reformat options possible with your Nokia N97. Very easy techniques and of course you can squirrel some money in fixing things on your own.

Before You Reformat

I have two reformat options for your N 97, they are very easy and could be completed in no time. To start with, you need to understand that any reformat lead to the loss of data saved. So better connect your device with the PC and start syncing. When you are installed with a good PC Anti-virus, scanning and fixing the threats of your backed-up data is not a problem. Now make sure that your phone is sufficiently charged to perform a reformat. I would say you need at least 30% of available battery. You need to provide the Security Code a.k.a Lock Code when asked to confirm or initiate the reformat, so keep that ready.

Hard Format

Hard format makes use of key presses to initiate a reformat on boot. Now your Nokia N97 lacks the old keypad, so the traditional hard format key combination is not valid. But you can go for a different key combination. Switch off your device. Press hold the Caps shift, Space bar and Delete button, then turn on your device. Be sure not to leave the key press or you may need to start over again. Your Nokia N97 will initiate a reformat now. Wait patiently, and when it is done, you can see your device booting the way it did the first time. You have reformatted the device and it will work perfect as it always did

Soft Format

You can also make use of Soft format to reformat your Nokia N97, a substitute for hard format. This is even a simpler process as no need to press hold the keys like in case of Hard Format. To Soft format, simply close all running applications, come to the stand by screen and type in *#7370#. You will get a message displaying “Restore original settings? Phone will restart”. Provide the Lock Code and initiate the reformat. Just like Hard Format, it takes a bit time, wait till its done and after that you can find your device starting the way it did the first time.
