3. Font types, Font sizes .
By changing the way text looks in a document you can draw attention to key words and ideas, make the meanings of words and paragraphs clearer, and show changes you have made.
The fonts and font sizes you can choose may sometimes depend on the printer you are using and the installation of your software. To see the fonts and font sizes available for your printer and in your software, click the Font box and Font Sizes box arrows on the Home tab OR Mini toolbar

4. Typefaces .
A font type is a “typeface”. A typeface is a set of characters designed with a distinctive pattern.
Fonts are stored in a folder on your Hard Drive
Typefaces are called serif fonts or sans serif fonts.
Serif fonts eg Times New Roman, Bell MT, have curly parts at the end of each character.
Sans Serif fonts are plainer fonts eg Calibri or Arial and do not have these fancy little curly parts. “True Type” fonts will print on any printer

5. Styles .

These default styles can be applied to new text, they can be modified, and they can be copied onto other templates.
Styles can be easily applied using the Home Tab Styles group
