- Sans serif fonts (sans from the French word meaning "without") do not have these lines (e.g., Arial)
- Serif fonts are often used for body text in newspapers and magazines
- Sans serif fonts are more effective for smaller text like headlines, logos, and web pages
- Monospaced fonts (e.g., Courier New) use the same horizontal space for every character, often used in tables and financial documents
- Proportional fonts allocate space according to the character width, used for research papers, status reports, and letters

- Center alignment centers the text equally from both margins
- Justified alignment ensures even spacing between the left and right margins
Paragraph Spacing

- Common line spacing options are single, double, or 1.5
- Specify exact spacing, minimum size or multiple line spacing intervals
