You can clearly see where each page ends and a new page begins.
As you review your document, you may find that you want to change the point
at which a new page begins. You do this by inserting a page break.

MS Word

Lesson 4: Formatting Paragraphs and Working with

Styles
When you type information into Microsoft Word, each time you
press the Enter key it creates a new paragraph.
You can format paragraphs. For example, you can indent the first
line of a paragraph, set the amount of space that separates
paragraphs, and align a paragraph left, right, center, or flush with
both margins.
Styles are a set of formats you can quickly apply to a paragraph.
For example, by applying a style, you can set the font, set the font
size, and align a paragraph all at once. In this lesson, you will
learn about the various formats you can apply to a paragraph and
about styles.
When you are formatting a paragraph, you do not need to select
the entire paragraph. Placing the cursor anywhere in the
paragraph enables you to format it.
After you format a paragraph, pressing the Enter key creates a
new paragraph in the same format.
Open a Blank Document
To begin a new Word project, you start by opening a new
document. To begin this lesson, open a blank document in
Microsoft Word.

EXERCISE 1
Open a Blank Document

2. Click the Microsoft Office button. A menu appears.

3. Click New. The New Document dialog box appears.

Open a new blank Word 2007.

4. Click Blank Document.

5. Click Create. A new blank document opens.

Add Sample Text

This lesson uses sample text provided by Microsoft for training and
demonstration purposes. You can type the text; however, there is a quicker
way. You can use the rand function.
Functions are used to obtain information. You tell the function what you
want and the function returns that information to you.
By default, in Word, when you type the rand function, Word returns three
paragraphs.
When working with functions, you use arguments to be specific about what
you want the function to return.
There are two arguments you can use with the rand function.
The first one tells Word how many paragraphs you want, and the second
one tells Word how many sentences you want in a paragraph. You place
arguments between the parentheses and you separate them with a
comma. For example, if you type =rand() and then press Enter, word
returns three paragraphs.
To tell Word you want two paragraphs with three sentences in each
paragraph, you type =rand(2,3).

EXERCISE 2
Add Sample Text
Type =rand().
Press the Enter key. The following text appears:

On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You
can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When
you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.
You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from
the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab.
Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.
To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks
available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the
Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original
contained in your current template.

Add Space Before or After

Paragraphs
When creating a document, space is often used to clearly
identify where each paragraph begins and ends.
By default, Word may place slightly more space between
paragraphs than it does between lines in a paragraph.
You can increase or decrease the amount of space that appears
before and after paragraphs by entering amounts in the Before
and After fields in the Paragraph section of the Page Layout tab.
Use the up arrows next to the Before and After fields to increase
the amount of space before or after each paragraph; use the
down arrows to decrease the amount of space before or after
each paragraph.
The following illustrates:

EXERCISE 3
Add Space Before or After Paragraphs

1. Place your cursor anywhere in the second paragraph of the sample text you created in
Exercise .
2. Choose the Page Layout tab. The default spacing appears in the Spacing Before field.
3. Click the up arrow next to the Spacing Before field to increase the space before the
paragraph.
4. Click the up arrow next to the Spacing After field to increase the amount of space after
the paragraph.

Note:
You can click the down arrows next to the Spacing
Before and the Spacing After fields to decrease the
amount of space before or after a paragraph.
You can also type the amount of space you want to use
directly into the fields. Space is measured in points.
There are 72 points to an inch.

Change Line Spacing

Line spacing sets the amount of space between lines within a paragraph.
The spacing for each line is set to accommodate the largest font on that
line.
If the lines include smaller fonts, there will appear to be extra space
between lines where the smaller fonts are located.
At 1.5, the line spacing is set to one-and-a-half times the single-space
amount.
At 2.0, the line spacing is set to two times the single-space amount (double
space).

EXERCISE 4

Change Line Spacing

1. Place your cursor anywhere in the first paragraph

of the sample text you created in Exercise 2.
2. Choose the Home tab.
3. Click the Line Spacing button

Paragraph group. A menu of options appears.
4. Click 2.0 to double-space the first paragraph.

Create a First-Line Indent

Some people and organizations delineate the start of a new paragraph
by indenting the first line.
If you want to indent the first line of your paragraphs, you can use the
Paragraph dialog box to set the amount by which you want to indent.
In the Special Field of the Paragraph dialog box, you tell Word you want
to indent the first line by choosing First Line from the menu options.
In the By field, you tell Word the amount, in inches by which you want
to indent.

EXAMPLE:

First-line Indent On the Insert tab, the galleries

include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of
your document.
You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists,
cover pages, and other document building blocks.

side.

EXAMPLE:
