Paragraph formatting

You can change the format of a paragraph using toolbar buttons. For example, you can create a bulleted or numbered list, indent, or change alignment. The pull-down menu shows special HTML formats (normal, heading 1 to heading 6, etc.).

Here is the Paragraph properties toolbar (if you don't see the toolbar, use the Options -> Show menu to display it):

Experiment with paragraph formatting:

Step	Action	Result
1	Select (hilight) Courses Taught	What format is assigned to this paragraph? What happens when you change it to Heading 2?
2	Click within a word and click the center button.	Can you return it to left alignment? What happens when you indent?
3	In the "Background" section, use your Enter/Return key to put each sentence on its own line.	Your section should look like this: Where were you born? Where have you lived and travelled? What kinds of work have you done? Notice the space between each paragraph.
4	Select the 3 sentences and click the bullet list button.	Your section should look like this: Where were you born? Where have you lived and travelled? What kinds of work have you done? Notice the spaces are gone and the list is indented..
5	Place your cursor between 2 words in a different section. Select Insert -> New Line Break from the menu.	This inserts a line break without the space. Note that both lines are considered part of the same paragraph, so if you apply a paragraph format to one line, the other will format as well.
