Objective 4. Use Special Character Formats
Headlines and titles should be set off from the rest of the text in a distinctive manner. This is usually done by emphasizing the text with the use of bold or italics, different fonts, or increased font size. If you are going to use a color printer or post the document on the Web, changing the color is very effective.

Activity 4.9. Using Small Caps
For headlines and titles, small caps is an attractive font effect. Lowercase letters are changed to capital letters but remain the height of lowercase letters. Titles are frequently formatted in this style.

Select the Outdoor Music title again, and then from the Format menu, display the Font dialog box, which provides many more font effect options than the toolbar. Compare your screen with Figure 4.21.

More Knowledge: Removing Blank Pages
If you create empty paragraphs at the end of a document by pressing the Enter key too many times, the result might be an extra blank page. To remove this page, click at the bottom of the document and press the Backspace key until the extra page is removed. It is best to use the Show/Hide ¶ button to show hidden characters so you can view the formatting marks that should be deleted.
