Task 1

Understand the purpose of style and apply Title style on the title of the document.

Task 2

Note that paragraphs of the document have styles different than the headings and title. Remove
the style from the second paragraph of the document by using Clear All Formatting button in
the Font group on the Home tab. What style does it have now?
Note that the default style is always Normal.

Task 3

We can modify the styles if we want them to fit our unique taste. Right click on the Normal style
and modify it to change the font to Arial, size to 11, alignment to Justify, and choose the colour
you like.
Task 4

Adjust line spacing of the first paragraph to 1.15 by using the Line and Paragraph Spacing
button in the Paragraph group.

Now let us change the line spacing of the whole document. How can that be done? Let us do it
by modifying the spacing for Normal style. After right clicking on the style and choosing
Modify, we need to select Format and then Paragraph.
