In Word 2013, the look and feel of your document
has a lot to do with the formatting choices

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:17.000
you make.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.610
If we added some formatting to this flyer,
for example, we could really make the text

00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:23.660
stand out so it grabs the reader's attention.

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:27.449
I'd like to start by selecting the text that
says "For Rent" and making it bigger, like

00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:29.130
a proper title.

00:00:29.130 --> 00:00:33.850
Just go to the Font group on the Home tab,
and click the drop-down arrow next to Size.

00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:38.430
You'll see a preview of the results as you
go down the list.

00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:40.670
I think 48 looks good.

00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:43.910
Maybe we could go a little bigger though.

00:00:43.910 --> 00:00:48.870
Shrink and Grow are two other options for
quickly changing the size of your text.

00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:52.590
All you have to do is click the command and…
perfect.

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:57.140
To change the actual font, click the drop-down
arrow here.

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:01.980
Then make your way down the list—you'll
get that live preview again.

00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:06.080
So, how about some color?

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:10.040
To view your options, click the arrow next
to the Font Color command.

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.180
You can go with one of the theme colors here…
or if you don't see anything you like, go

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:17.570
ahead and click More Colors.

00:01:17.570 --> 00:01:22.840
This peach color should look nice with the
color scheme we already have.

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.539
Another way to make your text stand out is
to use Bold, Italic, or Underline.

00:01:27.539 --> 00:01:31.789
Bold should be a good choice in this example…
now the text really calls attention to what

00:01:31.789 --> 00:01:33.700
I'm advertising.

00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:36.080
I wonder what it would look like in all uppercase
though.

00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:40.880
Luckily, I don't have to re-type it; I can
just use the Change Case command to change

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:43.289
it automatically.

00:01:43.289 --> 00:01:45.569
Excellent.

00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:50.149
Here's a tip if you ever need an unusual symbol
in one of your documents; for example, a copyright

00:01:50.149 --> 00:01:51.479
symbol or a trademark.

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:55.039
(In this example, I need an "n" with an accent.)

00:01:55.039 --> 00:02:01.880
All you have to do is go to the Insert tab…
then click the Symbol command… and find

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:05.590
the symbol you need.

00:02:05.590 --> 00:02:09.060
Let's go back to the Home tab, and take a
look at the rest of the flyer.

00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:14.080
As you can see, there's something I need to
double-check before I print the final copy.

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.270
I think I'll use the highlighter tool to mark
it—that way, I'll remember to fix it later.

00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:23.620
Just click the arrow next to the command that
says Text Highlight Color… then choose the

00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:25.120
color you want.

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.390
Yellow should be just fine.

00:02:28.390 --> 00:02:33.060
Now for the finishing touch—adjusting the
placement (or alignment) of the text.

00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:37.069
We'll start by selecting all the text on the
flyer.

00:02:37.069 --> 00:02:40.120
The Alignment commands can be found in the
Paragraph group.

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.569
Your options include left, center, right,
and justified.

00:02:44.569 --> 00:02:46.860
I think centered is what I had in mind.

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:50.549
It makes the flyer look much more professional.

00:02:50.549 --> 00:02:51.870
And there we go!

00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:53.699
What a big difference formatting can make.
