To change formatting in a document, insert a section break at the beginning of where you want the change. Set up the formatting change just past the new section break. If you want to change formatting again, put in another section break. If your changes are to be on the same page, choose the Continuous section break. Otherwise, choose Next Page, Odd Page, or Even Page section breaks. If the formatting change occurs in the previous section, press Ctrl or Command + Z and move your cursor to after the section break and try it again. Use section breaks to layout or format a documentWhen you insert a section break, choose the type of break that fits the changes you want to make. Here are the types with usage suggestions: The Next Page command inserts a section break and starts the new section on the next page. This type of section break is useful to start new chapters in a document. The Continuous command inserts a section break and starts the new section on the same page. A continuous section break is useful to create format changes such as a different number of columns on a page. The Even Page or Odd Page command inserts a section break and starts the new section on the next even-numbered or odd-numbered page. To start document chapters always on an odd or even page, use the Odd page or Even page section break option. You can use keyboard shortcuts or the Ribbon to clear formatting in a Word document. Since there are two types of text formatting (character and paragraph), you can choose to clear all formatting or just character or paragraph formatting. If you want to clear formatting for text where a specific style has been applied, you'll need to select the text that uses the style first and then remove the formatting. You can find and replace formatting in Word by searching for specific formatting, such as bold or italic, and changing it to other formats. You or even search for text with specific formatting and change the text and the formats. With Find and Replace, you can search for and change both character and paragraph formatting. So you have your document written out, but you don’t like the way it looks. No problem. Changing the font of the entire document in Microsoft Word is easy and can be done in a few simple steps. If you are using Open Office, Google Docs, or another alternative, the process is very similar. Once you learn how to do it with a one-word processing program, you can pretty much do it in all of them. Change Font of an Entire Microsoft Word DocFirst, select all of the text in the document. To do that, just use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A on your keyboard. Or, if you don’t like using keyboard shortcuts, select the Home tab on the Ribbon and from the “Editing” section, click Select > Select All. All of the text in your document should now be selected and highlighted. With this done, you can edit the entire document at once. On the Home ribbon, you’ll find everything you need under the “Font” heading. Click the wide font box to display a list of fonts. From this list, you can hover the mouse over a font to preview it or click it to change the text to that font. You can also adjust boldness, italics, color, size, and underline. But, manually adjusting the font might not be the easiest or the fastest way to make your document look great. The first thing you should try is styles; I’ll show you where they are below. Word Document StylesAlternatively, you can use the “Styles” menu from the Home tab to select pre-made font sets. A style will automatically adjust the color and font of your document. It also applies different values to headings, titles, and other special text. With a pre-made style, you can change the look of your entire document to something professional and appropriate with a click of the mouse. Styles allow you to quickly apply a set of formatting choices consistently throughout your document. 14 Comments 14 Comments
