Using Microsoft Word 97 - Working with Text

Editing text works the same as in most word-processing applications. You can type the text and apply the formatting later.

Paragraph formatting

To apply paragraph formatting, highlight the text and then select Normal or a Heading style (H1, H2, H3, etc.) from the drop down menu on the Formatting Toolbar.

Selecting a Font

Highlight the text, and then choose a font style from the drop down menu on the Formatting Toolbar.

Selecting a Font Size

Highlight the text, then increase or decrease the font size by using the relevant buttons on the Formatting Toolbar.

Inserting a new paragraph

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

Alignment

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 Formatting Toolbar.

Character Formatting

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.
