Chapter 2 Inserting and Formatting Text
MICROSOFT EXAM OBJECTIVES COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER:
Insert and format text, paragraphs, and sectionsInsert text and paragraphsFind and replace textInsert symbols and special charactersFormat text and paragraphsApply text effectsApply formatting by using Format PainterSet line and paragraph spacing and indentationApply built‐in styles to textClear formattingCreate and configure document sectionsFormat text in multiple columnsInsert page, section, and column breaksChange page setup options for a section
Chapter 1, “Working with Documents,” contained high‐level information about not only how to add text, but also how to find and replace text in your document. In this chapter, I will take a deeper dive into the various ways of finding and replacing text as well as how to insert special characters.
I will then show you how to format text and paragraphs by using text effects, using the Format Painter, and setting spacing and indents for both lines and paragraphs. Next, I will show you how to apply built‐in styles to text, something I also touched on in Chapter 1, as well as to clear any formatting you've made within the text or after you've applied a style that you don't want anymore.
Then I will tell you how to format text in multiple columns as well as add breaks to create a new page, section of text, or column. Finally, I will show you how you can change your page setting options within a section. At the end of each section, I provide an exercise so that you can test yourself and see if you can apply what you've learned.
Adding and Replacing Text
When you open a new document, the cursor is blinking in the upper‐left corner of the page. All you have to do to add text is just start typing.
When you need to replace a word, it's easy to replace text just by selecting the word and typing a new one. Yet, as your document grows, you'll find that replacing text this way is too cumbersome, which is why Word comes with a handy find and replace feature.
Finding and Replacing Text
Whenever you need to find text in a document (especially a long document), and possibly replace the text with some new text, Word has this basic function down cold.
Finding Text
There are several ways to find text in your document:
In the Home ribbon, click Find in the Editing area.
In the Navigation pane, the last word you entered is the default find term.
Click in the Search box within the Word title bar, and then type the text that you want to find.
A couple of seconds later, Word lists all instances of the word in the Results list. How Word presents the results depends on the tool you use. For example, when you search for text in the Navigation pane, Word highlights all instances of the text it finds, and it takes you to the first instance of the text in the document (see Figure 2.1).
FIGURE 2.1 First instance of the word “AutoFit” highlighted
Using Advanced Find to Locate More than Just Text
Change your Find parameters by clicking the down arrow to the right of Find in the Home ribbon and then clicking Advanced Find. The Find And Replace dialog box appears so that you can find using different parameters, including case, the text format, and other special characters (such as an em dash) that you'll learn about in the next section.
Replacing Text
When you need to replace text, all you have to do is click the Home menu option (if it isn't selected already). In the Home ribbon, click Replace in the Editing area. The Find And Replace dialog box appears with the Replace tab open, as shown in Figure 2.2.
Replacing text is a two‐step process. First, in the Find What text box type the text in the document that you want to replace. Next, in the Replace With text box type the replacement text.
