Say what formatting does
Change how writing looks without changing a word of what it says.
Formatting is everything about how writing looks — the size, the weight, the spacing — with the words themselves untouched.
Highlight the words first. Nothing changes while nothing is highlighted.
Key points
- Formatting changes how writing looks, never what it says
- Highlight the words first, or there is nothing for it to work on
What to remember
- Select first, then choose.
- Formatting changes the look. The words stay yours.
Try this
Open anything you have written, select one line, and press the B. Press it again to put it back.
