102 Chapter 4 Change the Look of Text
You can apply any predefined effect in the gallery to selected text, or you can click options
at the bottom of the gallery and define a custom effect.These effects are dramatic, so you’ll probably want to restrict their use to document titles
and similar elements to which you want to draw particular attention.
In this exercise, you’ll experiment with Quick Styles and text effects.SET UP You need the AgendaA_start document located in your Chapter04 practice
file folder to complete this exercise. Open the AgendaA_start document, and save it
as AgendaA. Then follow the steps.- In the lower-right corner of the program window, at the left end of the Zoom
Slider, click the Zoom Out button until you can see all of the text.
For example, if your current view is 100% and your resolution is 1024x768, you can
click the Zoom Out button three times to set the zoom percentage to 70%. - Ensure that the cursor is located at the top of the document, at the beginning of
the Building Association paragraph. Then on the Home tab, in the Styles group,
point to each thumbnail in the displayed row of the Quick Styles gallery.
The formatting of the first line changes to show you a live preview of how its text
will look if you click the style you are pointing to. You don’t have to actually apply
the formatting to see its effect. - Without making a selection, click the Down arrow to the right of the gallery.
The next row of the Quick Styles gallery appears.
