Unit 9: Word Processing Software

Notes
The benefit of using AutoFormat is that you can concentrate more on the content of
your document and less on the details of formatting.
AutoFormat works on two different ways—as you type or on command.

AutoFormat as You Type

Automatically formats headings, bulleted and numbered lists, borders, numbers, symbols, and so
on, as you type.

AutoFormat on Command

Automatically formats selected text or the entire document in one pass. You don’t have to do anything
to activate AutoFormat. By default, AutoFormat as You Type is enabled—you just enter text and
Word formats it as you go. You can change the default to AutoFormat on Command, which allows
you to manually run AutoFormat. This is similar to the way in which you can spell check a
document—as you type, or manually, using the menu commands or toolbar icons.
