While you can use paragraph and font formatting to make the various parts of you document appear as you wish, Word defines a range of default Styles that are available for your use. Using Styles is highly encouraged because:

• Styles can be used as the basis for automatically generating Table of Contents and similar tasks.
• If you change the definition of a Style, then all text formatted with that style in your document will automatically be updated to reflect the changes.

Note that you can also define new Styles in addition to the ones that Word provides by default.

1. Select the text to which you want to apply the Style
2. On the Home tab, in the Styles group:
   • click the Style you wish to apply to the text or
   • for a more complete list of avilable styles, click the Styles dialog box button and select the Style from the list that appears.

This is an advanced topic. Your lab instructor will show you how to do this in lab session if there is time.

You can quickly add bullets or numbers to existing lines of text, or Word can automatically create lists as you type.

1. Select the text you want to turn into a list. Each paragraph will become a list item
2. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, use one of the List icons (in the upper left) to select the kind of list and formatting.

Available list formats include:

• Simple bullets (small dots)
• Graphic bullets (check marks and similar simple graphics)
• Numbered lists in a variety of numbering formats
• Multilevel lists (typically used in combination with Styles)

By default, if you start a paragraph with an asterisk or a number 1., Word recognizes that you are trying to start a bulleted or numbered list. (If you don't want your text turned into a list, you can click the AutoCorrect Options button that appears.)

Open the document henri_matisse.docx. The document that you open should have the following text¹⁾ in it:

Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954): Fauves Artist

Henri Matisse was born in December of 1869 in Le Cateau, France. He began painting during a convalescence from an operation, and in 1891 moved to Paris to study art. Matisse became an accomplished painter, sculptor and graphic designer, and one of the most influential artists of the 1900s.

He was the leader of the Fauves, a group of artists whose style emphasized intense color and vigorous brushstrokes. He believed the arrangement of colors was as important as a painting's subject matter to communicate meaning. He avoided detail, instead using bright color and strong lines to create a sense of movement. In 1905, works by Matisse and other Fauve painters were exhibited together. The bold forms and bright colors of these paintings shocked the Paris art world.

Matisse's work reflects a number of influences: the decorative quality of Near Eastern art, the stylized forms of the masks and sculpture of African, the bright colors of the French impressionists, and the simplified forms of French artist Paul Cezanne and the cubists.

4. Change the size of the main text to 12 points and set the typeface to “Times New Roman”.
5. Put a border around the entire page with the thinnest parallel lines.
6. Write the course title, your ID number, and your name and surname into the header.
7. Add a footer showing the date and time.
8. Save, Print Preview, and Print the document, then hand in the hard copy (printed output) to the lab instructor.
