I think that the page format tools are the most misunderstood and under-used options in Word that are also simple to learn. In this phase of our tutorial, I'll show you how to turn that blah text page into a solid presentation on paper and uncover how to make these changes with the quickest of ease. Granted, many of you don't seem to have any problems with making a letter, and if you chose to go the route of getting help from Word's built in templates and wizards, you probably make fairly nice ones. But trying to go around these templates and make something unique is not so easy, and, once it is formatted, may be even harder to modify. Using the formatting buttons is a sure way to maximize the speed of setting up a visually appealing document.
Headings alter the style by reformatting the text's size, line spacing, and character style.
Typically, a full line of text is formatted using a Heading, but by selecting specific words or characters, you may quickly use this to format just about anything. Headings may also be created if you use a specific set of formats repeatedly. Say, you like to underline and bold paragraph headers and want to affect the size by 6 pts. By using this, you can change any of the formats using the appropriate choice. On the Formatting toolbar, you will see a pull-down menu listing fonts and font sizes.
