Fonts & Line Spacing
- Fonts
Use
You can change the look and feel of your document by changing the font size and the font type. You can highlight a particular section or heading by changing the font color and font style.
How to
To change the font properties for a particular section of text, select the particular text with your mouse. Then click on FORMAT and select FONT. A dialog box opens which will give you the option to change the Font Size, Font Style (Bold, Italic and Underlined), Font (Times New Roman, Verdana etc.) and Font Color.
- Single and double spacing
Use
You can change the spacing between the lines or the spacing before or after each paragraph to make the particular text easily readable.
How to
All documents are generally single-spaced. If you want to change the spacing on the documents, click on FORMAT and select PARAGRAPH. The dialog box which appears has a section on Spacing where you select the line spacing as “Single”, “1.5 lines” or “Double” from the drop-down menu.
- Format Painter
Use
If you do not know what formatting has been used on a particular part of the text, which you wish to replicate in some other part of the document, you can use theFormat Painter on the Standard toolbar to apply some basic graphic formatting, such as borders, fills, and text formatting.
How to
First, select the part of the text with the desired formatting. Then click on the Paintbrush icon in the Standard toolbar at the top of the application (this saves the formatting of the source text). Next, with the cursor, select the text for which you want to change formatting (this will apply the saved format to the destination text).
