Paragraphs Formatting

to make quick change to the document, rather than going through a whole one. especially for multiple paged documents

Edit> find change> 

e.g changing double paragraph returns to one ( instead of doing double spacing between paragraphs to indentation ) 

Alternative way to put space between paragraphs :

choosing between paragraph / character formatting option

click on "space before " ( dont need to highlight paragraph just click any space within a paragraph )

same as indentation 

Reversed out text

Type> Paragraph> paragraph rules> turn on

change one paragraph so that its different from all the others

once in the new paragraph style menu>, can modify other features to the paragraph style

now all you need to do is click with in a different paragraph and then click ( or press the shortcut buttons) in order to apply the paragraph styles
