Adding Emphasis and Special Formatting

You’ll often want to add special formatting to some text: for example, italics to use in a reference, bold to draw attention to a particular element, strikethrough to show what has been deleted, and so on. Word gives you a large array of special formatting options.

Format the Text

  1. Select the text you want to format.

  2. On the Home tab, use any combination of the formatting buttons to add the formatting you want. Click a button a second time to remove that formatting.

  3. If there isn’t a button for the formatting you want, click the Font button to display the Font dialog box.

  4. Do any of the following:

    1. Select a font color.

    2. Select the type of underline and the underline color you want.

    3. Select any effect or combination of effects. Note, however, that there are some effects that can’t be combined with others.

  5. Click OK.
