Let’s Study and Analyze
Text formatting refers to how the appearance of your text in the document
looks like. You can use the ribbon to easily change the formatting in your document.
For example, you can choose from many different fonts and font sizes, and you can
make your text almost any color that you want. Also, you can easily change the
alignment of your document.
Let’s Read
Formatting text in Microsoft Word involves tasks like making the text bold,
italicizing it, and changing the font and size. The commands to perform all of these
formatting tasks are found in the Home tab in the Font group. Select your text and
then click on the required formatting button to see the effects.
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts for those commands. Here
are some of the shortcuts for some of the more commonly used formatting
commands:
Bold: Ctrl + B
Italic: Ctrl + I
Underline: Ctrl + U
Subscript: Ctrl + =
Superscript: Ctrl + Shift + +
Increase Font Size: Ctrl + Shift + >
Decrease Font Size: Ctrl + Shift + <
You can also set the formatting before you type by clicking the appropriate
button or using the shortcut, and then anything you subsequently type will be

formatted. To clear the formatting, you click the same command button or use the
same shortcut. You can see that these commands act like toggles.
Formatting Text
Text attributes, text font, size and text color are ways of enhancing the fonts
look. Changes that you make to a font that has already been typed will only affect
the selected font. You can also permanently turn on the enhancement before typing
and will remain active until you change the font characteristics again.

the fonts or text in your document.

Bilbildaat and Bongbongtit
“I am Bongbongtit. My best friend is Bilbildaat. Bilbildaat and I live in Balaan.
We are studying in Bangbangowan. We always go together to school.
One day, I told Bilbildaat, “Let’s go to school”. While on our way to school, I
told Bongbongtit, “Let’s gather cobs of corns in Bokaw. Anyway, it is early. We can
gather cobs of corn. And so, we rushed to Bokaw. We were engrossed gathering cobs
of corns. We did not notice that we are already late in school.
Meanwhile Lakay Bantas and Lakay Bitan were getting ready to check the
pupils in school. “It’s our turn today in school”, Lakay Bantas told Lakay Bitan. They
found out later that Bilbildaat and I were not in school, and so, they decided to look
for us.
When Bilbildaat and I were engrossed gathering cobs of corns, we saw Lakay
Bantas and Lakay Bitan coming from the school. Out of fear to be scolded by the
elders, we crawled and hid in the bushes.
“Ouch! Ouch! I stepped on a thorny bush!” cried Bilbildaat. “That’s what you
get for not going to school!”, replied Lakay Bantas.
The following day, we went to school early. We made a promise to ourselves,
teachers, and elders that we will attend our classes regularly.
