Formatting Text with Word Pro

Fonts (p. 79) - Fonts with a TT next to them are TrueType fonts; those with a printer icon next to them are built into the printer (all of mine were TrueType fonts; I didn't have any of the latter)

Text Properties InfoBox (p. 80) - You can leave it open if you think you are going to be doing a lot of formatting and you can doubleclick on the title bar to shrink it and double click to enlarge; text doesn't note that, as in any Windows application, you can move it my clicking on the title bar and dragging to another location

Browing Fonts and Sizes with the Toolbar Buttons (p. 80) - A shortcut for increasing the size is F4 key and decreasing the size is Shift F4 

Changing the Default Font and Point Size (p. 80) - Class exercise to walk through steps

Changing Text Attributes - couldn't get Hidden and Protected to work (but didn't try altering options on initial screen)

Inserting Special Typographical Symbols - Class exercise to walk through steps. For SmartCorrect, I used File, User Setup, SmartCorrect setup -- make sure entry is relatively unique so that substitutions don't occur where you don't want them (p. 85)

Formatting Paragraphs and Documents

Indenting with Shortcut Keys, Text Properties InfoBox, and with Ruler - Class exercise; couldn't get small dot leader to work

Types of Tab Stops - Left, Centered, Right, Numeric

Line Spacing

Numbered and Bulleted Lists

Page Backgrounds and Watermarks - some useful effects
