Word Processor Part 6 "APPLYING STYLE"

Applying Styles

A style is a set of formatting characteristics (such as font, font size, font color, and paragraph alignment and spacing) that you can use to quickly format a document. In addition to saving you time, styles can help you keep formatting consistent throughout a document. Word 2013 includes several predefined styles that can be used to format headings, body text, lists, etc. If you do not like the appearance of a built-in style, you can modify it or create a custom style to suit your needs.

1.Select the text to which you want to apply a style.  

2.On the Home tab, in the Styles group, select the desired style from the Styles gallery  

3.Select any of the styles listed by clicking it. The entire document will change to the specified font or color automatically

NOTE: To display the entire Styles gallery, click the More button  in the lower-right corner of the gallery to expand it.

To modify an existing style:
