Business Computing Tips

Auto formatting allows you to set up changes to happen automatically like
changing 1/2 to look like a proper fraction. This was covered in a previous
Ktips http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/kfainges/insertp3.html
Clicking on FORMAT => AUTOFORMAT allows you to make all the pages on the
page at once. It also gives you another chance to check options are being used
and turn them on or off.
Styles are found on the formatting toolbar, as well as on the FORMAT menu.
these let you add bold and different font and sizes just by highlighting the
words and hitting the one you want.
Using preset styles makes sure your documents all look the same, 9important
in an office) and they also allow you to set up Table of Contents and other similar
things more easily.
If ever your document looks weird, be sure to check on the formatting
toolbar to see if the formatting has been changed. Normal is what you usually
aim for. It it is online or something similar, that explains why it looks
weird.
It is often easier to clear it all and start again. To do this, hit the
Select all button, then hit Clear Formatting. this is normally the top option
on any list.
Next week: more formatting.
