4.12.4 Working with Master document

4.12.Display Paragraph marks

When you open a new, blank document and click Show/Hide on the Standard toolbar, you see the insertion point followed by a paragraph mark. The paragraph mark contains all of the formatting for that first paragraph. You can change paragraph formatting either by selecting the paragraph mark and setting its formatting attributes before you start typing, or by typing your text, selecting it along with the paragraph mark, and then changing the text's formatting.

When you press ENTER to end one paragraph and begin another, the resulting new paragraph has the same characteristics as the previous one. For example, to make all the body paragraphs in your term paper left-aligned and double-spaced, you only have to set those attributes for the first paragraph. Pressing ENTER carries the formatting over to the next paragraph.

You can hide or show paragraph marks and other formatting marks by clicking Show/Hide. Showing paragraph marks helps you see where each paragraph ends and makes it easier to select the formatting characteristics you want to change.

4.13 Using Wizards and Templates

4.13.1 Using A wizard to create a letter

The Letter Wizard in Word can help you write a letter quickly and easily. The wizard provides frequently used letter elements — such as salutations and closings — that you can select from lists. The wizard also helps you structure your letters based on frequently used letter styles.

Use the following procedure, which requires the Office Assistant, to create a letter with the Letter Wizard. If you do not have the Office Assistant installed, you can start the Letter Wizard by clicking New on the File menu, clicking the Letters & Faxes tab, and then double-clicking Letter Wizard.

Clicking letter wizard opens window as shown in the following Figure 4.13.1
