the look and feel of your document has a
lot to do with the formatting choices
you make
for example formatting the text in this
advertisement could really help me grab
the reader's attention and make it
easier to read I'd like to start by
selecting this section of text and
making it bigger
just click the font size button on the
toolbar then choose a different number
to change the actual font click the font
button here
if you don't see anything you like you
can click more fonts and a window will
open where there are many more fonts to
choose from
next let's take a look at color this
needs something that'll be easy to read
on a white background click the color
you want and it will be applied to your
text another way to make your text stand
out is to use bold italic or underline
these commands can be found here on the
toolbar I'm going to make this text bold
to grab the reader's attention Google
Docs also allows you to adjust the line
spacing and paragraph spacing in your
document line spacing is the amount of
space between each line of text you can
reduce it to fit more on the page or
increase it to improve readability start
by selecting some text then click the
line spacing button on the toolbar the
default is set to single spacing if I
choose one point five instead the lines
will be spaced farther apart paragraph
spacing is the extra space before or
after a paragraph customizing this in
addition to line spacing can also make
your document easier to read I'm going
to scroll down so I can adjust this
paragraph
go back to the line spacing button and
this time make a selection from the
bottom of the menu in this example I'm
going to click add a space before
paragraph
finally I'd like to add a link to the
website for this condo community I'll
start by selecting the text
then clicking the insert link button on
the toolbar
and your text will be turned into a
hyperlink now for the finishing touch
adjusting the placement or alignment of
some of the text alignment options can
be found here on the toolbar
including left center and right I think
Center alignment is the best choice for
this text
that covers formatting text in Google
Docs now you can use formatting options
to create quality documents of your own
