Word includes many different formatting features to help you control the way your text looks and feels.

AutoFormat can help you format as you work and can help you automate lists, headings, and more.

Themes give you a coordinated effect for your printed and electronic documents by establishing preset selections for colors, headings, links, and more.

Changing the font, size , and font style is a simple matter of point-and-click on the Formatting toolbar.

You adjust paragraph, line spacing, and indents by using the features in the Paragraph dialog box.

You can add tabs either by using the horizontal ruler or the Tabs dialog box.

Tables enable you to show readers information quickly in a compare-and-contrast fashion. Word helps you add a professional touch to your table design with AutoFormat.

Word allows you to create up to 11 columns in your document; you control the spacing, width, and flow of text in those columns .

You can save your formatting choices as styles and use them again in other documents.

The styles are saved in templates, and you can apply those templates to new or existing documents, which saves you time and formatting effort later.
