EXERCISE 1: BASIC FORMATTING USING HOME MENU TAB

Blocking Text
This pertains to selecting any character, word, sentence or paragraph on your document. In
formatting your document, you can’t apply formatting unless you block/select the text that
you want to format. You can do it by dragging the mouse over the text that you want to
select.
Text Alignment
You can select the alignment of some text in your document in four ways; left align,
right align, centered and justified. Just select the text that you want to align and click on the
desired alignment that you want to apply.
LEFT ALIGNED
CENTERED
RIGHT ALIGNED
JUSTIFIED Alignment is being applied to paragraphs, through this alignment; the text is
aligned evenly along both the left and right margins. Justifying text creates a smooth edge
on both sides. To justify this paragraph, select the entire paragraph by dragging your mouse
from the first letter of this paragraph (its letter J or JUSTIFIED) up to the last character.
Then, click the JUSTIFY button on the toolbar.

color that you want to apply.
