  6. Paragraph formatting is an essential part of creating effective, professional-looking documents in Word. Word’s paragraph formatting feature enables you to determine paragraph alignment, indentation, and spacing between paragraphs. Word’s formatting features also enable you to add shading and borders to further enhance paragraph text and to remove paragraph formatting altogether. Formatting Paragraphs WHY ???? HOME

  7. An indent is a blank space inserted between text and the left or right margin. A first-line indent inserts blank space between the left margin and the first line of the paragraph (one-half inch is the default setting for this indent). A hanging indent, common in legal documents,begins the first full line of text in a paragraph at the left margin; all of the remaining lines in the paragraph are then indented from the left margin. A negative indent extends paragraph text into the left margin. You can indent paragraphs from the left margin, the right margin, or both, and you can set the sizes of indents using Word’s paragraph-formatting tools. You can also drag the markers on the ruler to set indents. Table 4-1 (see next slide) shows the various indent markers as they appear on the ruler Setting Indents

  15. Paragraph alignment refers to how text is positioned between a document’s margins. • By default, text is left-aligned at the top of the page. • Horizontal alignment refers to how text is positioned between the left and right margins. There are four types of horizontal alignments: • Left align • Center • Right align • Justify • Table 4-2 (on the next slide) shows the various buttons and shortcut keys you can use for horizontal alignment. Changing Alignment

  16. Table 4-2: Horizontal Alignment Options

  17. You can change the alignment of text in paragraphs before you type the text or you can change the alignment of existing text. If you change the alignment before typing text, the alignment formatting is inserted in the paragraph mark. To return paragraph alignment to the default (left-aligned), click the Align Text Left button in the Paragraph group. Change Paragraph Alignment…continued

  18. Vertical alignment refers to how text is positioned between the top and bottom margins of the page. Text can be aligned vertically at the top margin, at the center of the page, or at the bottom of the page, or it can be justified. Top-of-the-page vertical alignment is the default when launching Word. Centered vertical alignment places the text evenly between the top and bottom margins. Bottom vertical alignment places text next to the bottom margin of the document. Justified vertical alignment aligns text evenly between the top, bottom, left, and right margins. Table 4-3 (on the next slide) shows the vertical alignment options. Changing Alignment

To change the border style, click the drop-down arrow next to the Border button. For additional options, click the Borders and Shading option on the Border menu to display the Borders tab of the Borders and Shading dialog box.

  28. After formatting your document, you may decide that you no longer want any formatting in a paragraph or that you want to begin again. The Clear Formatting command provides an easy way to change a paragraph back to plain text. When you execute this command, all formatting is removed, and the font and font size revert to the original document settings. Ctrl+Q– keyboard shortcut to clear paragraph formatting. Clearing the Formats from a Paragraph HOME

  29. In Word, you can determine how much space separates lines of text, and you also can set the spacing between paragraphs. By default, Word sets line spacing (the space between each line of text) to 1.15. Line spacing is paragraph based and can be customized by specifying a point size. Paragraph spacing, which affects the space above and below paragraphs, is set to 10 points after each paragraph by default. The higher the point size is, the greater the space between paragraphs is. In this exercise, you learn to set both line and paragraph spacing. Setting Line Spacing in Textand Between Paragraphs

  30. Line spacing is the amount of space between the lines of text in a paragraph. In this exercise, you learn to set line spacing using a number of Word paragraph formatting tools. Table 4-4 provides additional information regarding line spacing options and descriptions. Setting Line Spacing
