Word Spacing
Defines the spacing between words. You can increase or decrease the spacing
with positive and negative values, set in ems by default. (In CSS, one em is

spacing between words to 24 pts., set the Word Spacing value to 2 ems.
Letter Spacing
Defines the spacing between the letters of a word. You can increase or
decrease the spacing with positive and negative values, set in ems by default.
Vertical Alignment
Sets the vertical alignment of the style. Choose from baseline, sub, super, top,
text-top, middle, bottom, or text-bottom, or add your own value.
Text Align
Sets text alignment (left, right, center, and justified).

Indents the first line of text on a style by the amount specified.

Display
Determines how a tag is represented. Possible values include none, inline,
block, list-item, run-in, compact, marker, table, inline-table, table-row-group,
table-header-group, table-footer-group ...
