An important part of creating effective documents lies in the document design. As part of designing the document and making formatting decisions, you will need to know how to modify the spacing.
A font typeface is defined as a group of characters sharing similar type attributes. Font size refers to the height of printed text on a page and is measured in points (1 point = 1/72 inch). Font style refers to type enhancements such as bold and italic.
Paragraph formatting refers to the layout of the paragraph on the page and involves alignment, spacing and indentation options. Alignment refers to the relative location of text to the margins. Spacing refers to the distance between lines above, below, or within a paragraph.
A style is a set of formatting characteristics that you can apply to text in your document to quickly change its appearance. When you apply a style, you apply a whole group of formats in one simple task. For example, you may want to format the title of a report to make it stand out. Instead of taking three separate steps to format your title as 16 pt, Arial, and center-aligned, you can achieve the same result in one step by applying the Title style.
Styles make it simple to format text and paragraphs consistently. You can add styles as you type, or you can add styles to existing text and paragraphs. A style is composed of various character and paragraph formats and is saved with a style name.
A style can be one of two types, character or paragraph. A paragraph style controls all aspects of a paragraph's appearance, such as text alignment, tab stops, line spacing, and borders, and can include character formatting. If you want a paragraph to have a particular combination of attributes that aren’t in an existing style (for example, a bold, italic, center-aligned heading in the Arial Narrow font), you can create a new paragraph style. A character style affects selected text within a paragraph, such as the font and size of text, and bold and italic formats. Characters within a paragraph can have their own style even if a paragraph style is applied to the paragraph as a whole. If you want to be able to give certain types of words or phrases the same kind of formatting, and the formatting isn’t in an existing style, you can create a new character style.
