To apply paragraph formatting, highlight the text and then select Normal or a heading style (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) from the drop down menu on the Formatting Toolbar.

Inserting a line-break

Press the Return (Enter) key. The cursor moves to the beginning of the next line.

Inserting a new paragraph

Press the Return (Enter) key twice. The cursor moves to the beginning of a new paragraph.

Aligning Text

Highlight the heading or text and select the alignment button from the Formatting Toolbar to specify whether to align the selected paragraph to the left, right, or centre of the page.

Inserting a Horizontal Line

Click the location where you wish the line to appear. Click on the Horizontal Line button on the Composition Toolbar.

Double click on the inserted line and choose Horizontal Line Properties from the menu to specify the height, width and alignment of the line.

You can apply (or remove) character formats to one or more characters, to text within a paragraph, or to text spanning parts of multiple paragraphs. Highlight the text and select the appropriate character format button on the Formatting Toolbar.
