Goodwill Community Foundation creating
opportunities for a better life in
Microsoft Word the look and feel of your
document has a lot to do with the
formatting choices you make if we added
some formatting to this flyer for
example we could really make the text
stand out so it grabs the reader's
attention I'd like to start by selecting
the text that says for rent and making
it bigger like a proper title just go to
the font group on the Home tab and
locate the font size box you can enter
the exact font size you want or click
the drop down arrow to select one you'll
see a preview of the results as you go
down the list
I think 48 looks good maybe we could go
a little bigger though shrink and grow
are two other options for quickly
changing the size of your text all you
have to do is click the command and
perfect to change the actual font click
the drop down arrow here then make your
way down the list you'll get that live
preview again I think I'll go with this
one so how about some color to view your
options click the arrow next to the font
color command you can go with one of the
theme colors here or if you don't see
anything you like go ahead and click
more colors this peach color should look
nice with the color scheme we already
have another way to make your text stand
out is to use bold italic or underline
bold should be a good choice in this
example now the text really calls
attention to what I'm advertising I
wonder what it would look like in all
uppercase though luckily I don't have to
retype it I can just use the change case
command to change it automatically
excellent
let's take a look at the rest of the
flyer as you can see there's something I
need to double check before I print the
final copy I think I'll use the
highlighter tool to mark it that way
I'll remember to fix it later just click
the arrow next to the command that says
text highlight color then choose the
color you want yellow should be just
fine now for the finishing touch
adjusting the placement or alignment of
the text we'll start by selecting all
the text on the flyer the alignment
commands can be found in the paragraph
group your options include left center
right and justified
I think centered is what I had in mind
it makes the flyer look much more
professional and there we go what a big
difference formatting can make
