Key Points

• Quick Styles are a great way to apply combinations of formatting to give your documents a professional look.
• You can format characters with an almost limitless number of combinations of font, size, style, and effect -but for best results, resist the temptation to use more than a handful of combinations.
• You can change the look of paragraphs by varying their indentation, spacing, and alignment and by setting tab stops. Use these formatting options judiciously to create documents with a balanced, uncluttered look.
• Bulleted and numbered list are a great way to present information in an easy to read, easy to understand format. If the built-in bulleted and numbered list styles don't provide what you need, you can define your own styles.
