Formatting Paragraphs

To make your text appear the way you want, you can format its paragraphs. Word provides a wide range of paragraph formatting, from indents and line spacing to bullets, numbering, and borders. You can apply paragraph formatting manually, but it is better to apply it by using styles, which are collections of formatting.
