Exercise 6 

1. Open Microsoft Word 

2. Type the following exercise 
3. Save your document 
When creating new paragraphs, it is always advisable to apply appropriate spacing between paragraphs
instead of using the return key. This is because when we use the return key more than once to provide
spacing between paragraphs, we create additional characters in the document which affect the overall
formatting and the size of the document. 
 
But if we apply spacing between paragraphs, then we can get the appropriate distance between two
different paragraphs without having to use the return key more than once and thus without creating the
extra characters. 
 
Apply spacing above, below paragraphs. Apply single, 1.5 lines, double line spacing within paragraphs.
To apply spacing between two paragraphs, we need to use the same ‘Paragraph’ dialog box which we
have been using in the previous sections. In this dialog box, under the ‘Indents & Spacing’ tab, we have
two fields for ‘Spacing’ and ‘Line Spacing’. 
 
In the ‘Spacing’ field, we have two options, ‘Above paragraph.’ And ‘Below paragraph.’ , and these can
be used to apply spacing above and below paragraphs respectively. 
In the ‘Line Spacing’ field, we have a drop-down list which lists the different types of line spacing. We
can select the different types of line spacing like single, double and 1.5 lines from the list. 
 
With Clear Formatting function, you can remove all the formatting on a block of selected text, or a
paragraph, or the whole text. The formatting such as font, size, text attributes (bold or italic), and color
you applied in the text can be cleared with one click, and then the text will return its default style. 
In word processing, the word indent is used to describe the distance, or number of blank spaces used to
separate a paragraph from the left or right margins.
