Any new characters in the paragraph take on the formatting dictated by the paragraph mark.

 
 

You can use the formatting toolbar to change the format quickly, without having to got to the Font dialog box.

 
 

To quickly change a font size, just select the text and hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys together and press either the greater than or less than keys. Each press will increase or decrease the font size by a percentage.

 
 

If you want to copy the formatting to several locations double click the Paint Format button and select each in turn. Click once again or press Esc when finished

 
 

The smallest font in Word is 1pt and the largest is 1,636 points. For more precision hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys together with the left and right brackets to increase and decrease the font by 1 point.

 
 

Every line in a particular paragraph has the same tab stops in the same location

 
 

When inserting tabs ensure that every line that will contain a tab stop is a single paragraph and that every paragraph with a tab stop contains just one line.

 
 

Every paragraph has its default set to tabs every half inch. As you add tab stops manually the preceding default stops disappear
