Document Level Formatting

• For the example text, I copied the article "Its Quiet Uptown" from Wikipedia
  • We need some document to format
  • I pasted the document.
  • Then removed all formatting (Home tab, Fonts group, clear all formatting (A partially erased)
  • I replaced all \[[0-9]*\] with nothing to get rid of the references
  • I deleted the TOC and some other minor things.
• The document level formatting tools provide you with the opportunity to create a consistent document.
• The problem with font and paragraph level formatting is consistency.
  • You don't remember to apply it.
  • You don't remember what you applied.
• By selecting a theme and a style you can apply consistent formatting to the entire document.
• A theme is a set of fonts, colors and special effects combined to make a unified document.
• A style is a set of rules for formatting, spaces, font, indentation
• Select a theme and a style on the Design tab.
• Use the styles on the home tab to mark document elements.
  • Format the section headings, titles.
  • Format a quote.
• You can now use outline view more effectively,.
• YOU SHOULD do the practice exercise where they step you through modifying a style.
• Sections
  • Sections divide a document into logical pieces.
  • We will look at these in more detail later but for now we need them to introduce multiple columns.
  • Layout tab , page setup group, breaks drop down menu.
    • A section break vs break.
  • Formatting in columns inserts a section break or two.
  • We also control page and column endings with breaks.
• Just for fun build a TOC.
