Trang 3Paragraph Borders and Shading
Every paragraph you create in Word is surrounded by an invisible frame, and a border can be applied to that
frame
You can apply the border to a specific side of the paragraph or to all sides.
You can also customize the type of border line and add shading to fill the border.
When you add a border to a paragraph of text, the border expands and contracts as you insert or delete
text from the paragraph

Trang 15Manipulate Tabs on the Horizontal Ruler
When you work with a document, Word offers a variety of default settings
One of these defaults is a left tab set every 0.5 inch.
For some documents, these default tabs are appropriate; for others, you may want to create your own tabs.
You can set tabs on the horizontal ruler or at the Tabs dialog box.
Use the horizontal ruler to set, move, and delete tabs.
Default tabs are indicated by tiny vertical lines along the bottom of the ruler.
With a left tab, text aligns at the left edge of the tab.
The other types of tabs that can be set on the horizontal ruler are center, right, decimal, and bar.
Use the Alignment button that displays above the vertical ruler to specify tabs.
