Lesson: Using Styles
Using Styles:
A style is a stored set of formatting options that is given a name. For example. a style
can include a specific font and font size, indents and spacing,
A list of the available styles appears in the Style list on the Formatting toolbar. As a
default, Word lists the following built-in styles in the Style list:
Default Paragraph Font
Heading 1
. Heading 2
. Heading 3
Normal. Normal is the default style automatically applied to all paragraphs until
you apply another style.
Types of Styles
There are two types of general styles:
. Character
. Paragraph
Character styles reflect character-formatting features, such as font, font size, and bolded
and italicized text. Word distinguishes character styles from paragraph styles in the
Style list by displaying an underlined letter a in the gray box to the right of each
character style name.
Paragraph styles control all aspects of a paragraph's appearance, such as alignment,
spacing, tabs and borders, Paragraph styles can also include fonts, font size, and font
attributes, such as bold, When you apply a paragraph style to text, any character style
you previously applied remains intact. Word adds any additional attributes from the
paragraph style to the character style, but does not overwrite existing attributes, Word
distinguishes paragraph styles form character styles by displaying a paragraph mark (1J )
in the gray box to the right of the style name in the Style list.
Built in Styles
When you click on the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting toolbar, Word
displays the basic built-in styles you have available to every document you open using
the Normal template.
You can expand that list of styles to view all the built-in styles that come with Word by
pressing the Shift key before you click on the arrow next to the Style box.

steps:

or footer.
2. Click on the View menu and click on Header and Footer. Word switches to Print
Layout view, displays the section's header, and displays the Header and Footer toolbar.
Notice that Word displays the current section number above the box representing the
header location.
The Same as Previous indicator tells you that this section currently uses the same
header as the previous section, unless you are in the first section of the document.
3. If you want to edit the footer, click on the Switch Between Header and Footer
bulton, Do one of the following:
. If you want to enter a new header or footer that applies to the whole
document, type the text of the header or footer.
. If you want to create a new header or footer just for the current section, click
on the Same as Previous button (to clear it) and type the text of the header or
footer.
To view the header in another section, click on either the Show Previous button or the
Show Next button.
4. Repeat the above steps to apply a different header or footer to each section.
5. When you finish entering the headers and footers, click on Close. Word removes the
Header and Footer toolbar.

documents you save as HTML documents.
