Study Notes

Text Formatting and Layout

Text boxes can be used to draw attention to important points in a document, and can contain quotes, banners, or short text excerpts.
Text boxes can be selected, moved, resized, and modified, and have layout options to wrap text around them.
WordArt is a feature that modifies text with special effects like colors, shadows, gradients, and 3-D effects, and can be used to create vibrant and eye-catching text.

Lists

Numbered lists are used for sequential steps, while bulleted lists are used for simple itemization of points.
Multilevel lists can extend numbered or bulleted lists to several levels.
Lists can be created from the Paragraph group on the Home tab.

Document Themes

Document themes combine color, font, and graphics to create a professional, color-coordinated document.
When a theme is selected, a unified set of design elements, including font style, color, and special effects, is applied to the entire document.

Columns and Page Layout

Columns format a document or section into side-by-side vertical blocks of text.
Columns can be created by clicking the Page Layout tab and selecting Columns in the Page Setup group.
The Columns dialog box provides options for setting the number of columns and spacing between columns.

Objects and Graphics

Objects, such as pictures, text boxes, tables, and clip art, can be individually selected and manipulated within a document.
Objects can be resized, added with special effects, and moved to other locations in the document.

Fonts and Text Attributes

A font is a combination of typeface and type style.
Word allows users to change fonts and apply text attributes, such as bold, italic, or underline.
Fonts can be changed by clicking the Home tab and selecting a font from the Font group.

Paragraph Spacing and Line Spacing

Paragraph spacing is the amount of space between paragraphs, and can be used to differentiate between paragraphs.
Paragraph spacing can be set by clicking the Home tab, clicking Line and Paragraph Spacing, and then clicking the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.
Line spacing is the amount of space between lines, and can be set to single, double, or 1.5, or a specific size.
