Exam 11: Word: Creating, Formatting, and Editing a Word Document With Pictures
By formatting the characters and paragraphs in a document, you can improve its overall appearance.List the formatting suggestions to consider when designing a flyer.
•Increase the font size of characters.Flyers usually are posted on a bulletin board or in a window.Thus, the font size should be as large as possible so that passersby easily can read the flyer.To give the headline more impact, its font size should be larger than the font size of the text in the body copy.If possible, make the font size of the signature line larger than the body copy but smaller than the headline.
•Change the font of characters.Use fonts that are easy to read.Try to use only two different fonts in a flyer, for example, one for the headline and the other for all other text.Too many fonts can make the flyer visually confusing.
•Change paragraph alignment.The default alignment for paragraphs in a document is left-aligned, that is, flush at the left margin of the document with uneven right edges.Consider changing the alignment of some of the paragraphs to add interest and variety to the flyer.
•Highlight key paragraphs with bullets.A bulleted paragraph is a paragraph that begins with a dot or other symbol.Use bulleted paragraphs to highlight important points in a flyer.
•Emphasize important words.To call attention to certain words or lines, you can underline them, italicize them, or bold them.Use these formats sparingly, however, because overuse will minimize their effect and make the flyer look too busy.
•Use color.Use colors that complement each other and convey the meaning of the flyer.Vary colors in terms of hue and brightness.Headline colors, for example, can be bold and bright.Signature lines should stand out more than body copy but less than headlines.Keep in mind that too many colors can detract from the flyer and make it difficult to read.
