4.3.1 Typing Text

To enter text, just start typing in the text area! As you type the text will appear where the blinking cursor is located and will move from left to right. Unlike with a typewriter, you need not press ENTER key at the end of each line, the characters automatically shifted to next line. Word continues to let your text wrap (move to the next continuous line) around until you are ready to start a new paragraph. To break a continuous line and move to a new paragraph, Press ENTER key at the end of a paragraph.

4.3.2 Inserting Text

To insert the text in an existing document, follow the steps given below: 1. Move the cursor by using the arrow buttons on the keyboard or positioning the mouse and clicking the left button where you want to insert the text.

4.4 FORMATTING PARAGRAPHS

In Word 2007, a paragraph is any amount of text, graphics, object or other items that are followed by a paragraph mark. A paragraph mark is inserted each time while pressing the ENTER key. In order to change the formatting of a paragraph, select the paragraph and then apply the formats you want apply. Paragraph formats affect the entire paragraph and new paragraphs keep the formatting of the preceding paragraph. Paragraph marks store the format of each paragraph. If the paragraph mark is deleted, the text in that paragraph becomes part of the next paragraph. You can format a paragraph by placing the cursor within the paragraph and selecting HomeParagraph subtask menu and click on the down arrow on the lower right side of the subtask menu. This will display the following menu for you to choose the paragraph formatting.

4.4.1 Line Markers

To insert a new line mark in the same paragraph, press SHIFT+ENTER keys. This action pushes the text down to the next line, but does not create a new paragraph. To modify the appearance of paragraphs, use the Ruler, the Formatting toolbar and the Paragraph dialog box or one of Words paragraph formatting shortcut key combinations. The various ways in which the paragraph formatting can be done is described in the following subsections:

4.4.2 Centering, Right Alignment and Left Alignment

By default, the text in Word is left aligned. But these alignments can be changed as described earlier.

4.4.3 Indenting Text

Indenting a paragraph enables it to set off from other text. To indent paragraphs automatically, drag the top half of the triangular indent marker of the horizontal ruler to the right of the desired position.

68 :: Data Entry Operations

To increase or decrease indents by one Tab stop, use the Increase Indent or Decrease Indent button on the Formatting toolbar. To create a hanging indent (that indents all lines but the first line of a paragraph), drag the top half of the triangular indent marker in the horizontal ruler to the left of the desired position.

4.4.4 Tab Stops

By default, the tab Stops are set at 0.5-inch intervals from the left margin. To increase or decrease the tab length Choose Home Paragraphs sub task menu and click on the down arrow located near lower right corner to display the paragraphs formatting submenu. Now click on the Tabs button located on the lower left corner to display the tabs submenu. The Tab dialog box appears.

To set tab stops: 1. 2. Select the paragraph in which you want to set or change tab stops. To set or change the tab alignment, click the Tab Alignment button at the far left of the horizontal ruler until the tab alignment is the way you want to be.

To Select the respective Tabs click on: Left-aligned tab stops

Centred tab stops Right-aligned tab stops Decimal tab stops

To move a tab stop, point to the tab marker and drag it to a new position. To clear a tab stop, drag the tab marker off the ruler. Also, you can set precise measurements for tab stops by using the Tabs command on the Format menu (see the Tabs dialog box Figure). The spacing between the default Tab Stops can also be changed but this will affect only the active document. To do this, type or select the distance you want between the tab stops in the Default Tab Stops box and then click the OK button in the Tabs dialog box.

4.4.5 Line Spacing

Line Spacing determines the height of each line of text in the paragraph. The default (single line spacing) depends on the size of the font characters. Individual line spacing is easy to change. Choose Home Paragraphs sub task menu and click on the down arrow located near lower right corner to display the paragraphs formatting submenu.. The Paragraph dialog box appears. The Indents and Spacing tab of the Paragraph dialog box provides a drop-down under Line spacing: for simple but effective control of the space between lines under most

70 :: Data Entry Operations

circumstances. The preview area demonstrates the relative effect of single, one-and-a-half and double line spacing. Single spacing causes 12-point line spacing, 1 line spacing is 18 points and double spaced lines will be 24 points apart.

Fig. 4.8

All these line spacing settings can be made by choosing the appropriate options from the Line spacing menu in the Paragraph dialog box. When you use these choices, Word will compensate for graphics, superscript and large or small type sizes.

4.4.6 Paragraph Spacing

Word enables each paragraph to give unique before and after spacing if you wish. The spacing settings can be in points (pt), inches (in), centimetres (cm) or lines (li). Headings often have different spacing requirements for body text. For instance, you may require different before and after spacing designs for figures and figure captions as well. Also you can have unique spacing

Formatting Documents:: 71

specifications as part of a style, making it easy to keep the look of your documents consistent. Choose Home Paragraphs sub task menu and click on the down arrow located near lower right corner to display the paragraphs formatting submenu. The Paragraph dialog box appears. Use drop down submenu in Before: and After: under Spacing of the Paragraph dialog box to set the paragraph spacing. The advantages of using the Paragraph command are: 1. 2. 3. Spacing before and after paragraphs does not change the point size of your text. You can use different spacing combinations for different purposes. You can make precise adjustments to the spacing between the various text elements. For example, you can use paragraph spacing to clarify the relationship between headings and body text. If the paragraph is moved or deleted, its spacing goes with it. The paragraph doesnt leave behind extra blank lines. If you include spacing in the paragraph styles you use to format text, Word adds the space along with the other formatting. You need not add blank lines manually.

4. 5.

4.4.7 Borders and Shading
