Welcome back. We’re working in module 3 and we’re talking about character formatting in this particular module. This is section 4 where I really want to get into some of those character formatting options with you.

We’re here in our exercise and you’ll notice that when you look through here there’s a title at the top, there’s a couple of little subtitles, Buying a Home, Selling a Home, but nothing really stands out from anything else here. That’s because when you first type in your text in Microsoft Word you’re going to have black text, it’s all going to line up on the left hand side. It’s all the same size. When you start changing the original characteristics that’s called Formatting and that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to make some of these things stand out a little bit.

Let’s start with our title. I’m going to go ahead and select the title here. And let’s start with your font grouping right here. The first thing you’ll notice here where it says Times New Roman in this case, this is what we call your Font list. And fonts are just different ways the letters look. You’ll notice that if you move your mouse over the different fonts, you don’t even have to click, it’ll show you a preview of what it’s going to look like if you pick that particular option. You have tons of them here. So make sure you pick something that you like. If you choose something and later you decide you want to change it you can always change it. So I’m going to go back up here. I happen to like this Algerian.

The default font, by the way, meaning the one that’s there usually automatically when you start typing is called Calibri.
The next thing you’ll see here is where this 12 is. That’s going to be the size of your text. That’s your font size. When we talk about fonts we’re referring to point size. So 12 stands for 12 points. You’ll notice this list goes all the way down and it stops at 72. A little piece of trivia. 72 points is equivalent to one printed inch. What if you want a number that’s not on this list? All you do is type it up here, so as long as this is selected, you can type any number you want. Let’s say I put 200 and you hit the Enter key, look how big that is, but it gives you what you want. Let’s say you want a half size, 15.5 and Enter. Now I have that size. So you don’t have to stick with exactly what’s on the list.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
