You've learned a lot in the first four chapters, and now it's time to put it into practice. This chapter covers a collection of features that fall into the "basic formatting" category. These are things you will likely want to do right away, such as applying bold, changing to a different font, adjusting margins, printing envelopes, and inserting symbols. Reveal Codes, a feature that lets you view hidden formatting instructions, is WordPerfect's secret weapon, so don't miss the discussion at the end of the chapter. You will learn how easy it is to adjust formatting and correct conflicts. A bonus has been added to WordPerfect--you can now print out Reveal Codes. Emphasizing Important Text In an oral presentation, you use different intonations for emphasis. To get an important point across, you might raise your voice and pronounce each word slowly and clearly. Speaking in a monotone will either bore your audience to tears or put them to sleep. Using a different tone of voice and pausing before important points help to hold your audience's attention. You can do the same thing with a printed document. Judicious use of bold, italic, underline, and other effects can guide a reader through the text and draw attention to key points. To apply bold, italic, or underline 1. Select the text. 2. Click the Bold, Italic, or Underline button on the property bar (or any combination of the three). When bold, italic, or underline has been applied to a section of text, the buttons on the property bar appear "pushed in" (see Figure 5.1).
