“The least you can do is look respectable.” That's what my mother always used to tell me when I was a kid. This advice holds up especially well in these image-conscious times. If you don't look good up front (or if your work doesn't look good), you'll often be written off without a second thought.
When it comes to looking good — whether you're pecking out a memo, putting together a report, or polishing up your résumé — Docs gives you a massive tool chest stuffed to the brim with formatting implements. This chapter gives you the skinny on these tools, including lots of hints about how best to use them.
