Features

Formats

Formats are one of the most important features in Microsoft Word. This is because they let you chose what size, colour, font, or weather your text is bold, in italics, or underlined. (See figure 4.1)

Format painter copies the format of text, not the actual text. (See figure 4.2 - 4.4)
