Double – This line spacing is 2 times greater than the single spacing. At least – This is the default setting, which adjusts the line spacing to hold the largest font on the line and special items, such as graphics. Exactly – This line spacing makes all lines equally spaced, and special font sizes or graphics are not accommodated. Multiple – This line spacing allows you to modify the line spacing by a particular percentage. This line spacing is used in combination with the Exactly option to accommodate special font sizes and graphics found in the document. 4.

A style is a grouping of formatting attributes known by a style name. You can make styles for text that include character-formatting attributes such as bold, italic, or a particular font size. These types of styles are called as character styles. You can also make styles for paragraphs that contain paragraph attributes, such as alignment information, indents, and line spacing. These types of styles are called paragraph styles. You can view the style names in the Styles and Formatting task pane by opening the Styles and Formatting task pane. Simply select FormatStyles and Formatting. The Styles and Formatting task pane is the place for making, editing, and managing the styles and formatting in your documents.

Word provides built-in styles, such as headings that you can use in your documents. You can use styles in formatting text or paragraphs in your document.

Revising the look of text or the layout of paragraphs by changing a style lets you to quickly modify the look of text in your document. Using styles also offers you with the way to create categories of text (such as headers or figure captions) look all the same throughout the document without assigning character or paragraph attributes to each of them one by one. You can create character styles in your document. Making character styles is very easy. Just simply select the text you want to give emphasis to with special character formatting and assign it all the character

Making a table of contents is very easy and straightforward as long as you use text styles. A good example is a document with different parts divided into chapters. You can assign built-in styles (or the ones you created) to your different parts so that you can create a table of contents that shows two levels: parts and chapters. This procedure works because Word can refer to a particular heading level by the style that you have assigned to it. You can now create a table of contents using the Word Table of Contents feature. The steps in creating a table of contents using the Word heading styles or unique styles you created are: 1. Select ViewToolbarsOutlining. Figure 10.17 ViewToolbarsOutlining
