+===== Styles =====
-==== Styles ====
 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.
+You can also define new Styles in addition to the ones that Word provides by default, but this is not covered in this exercise.
-=== Applying a Style to the desired text ===
+==== Applying a Style to the desired text ====
   - Select the text to which you want to apply the Style
+    * If it's a paragraph style (which is very often the case), then you only need to place the cursor in the paragraph.

     * click the Style you wish to apply to the text //or//

-=== Changing the definition of a Style ===
+==== Applying a Style Set to the document ====
-This is an advanced topic. Your lab instructor will show you how to do this in lab session if there is time.
+Style Sets are sets of predefined styles that you can use to change the overall style of your document.
-==== Lists ====

+==== Changing the definition of a Style ====
+Your lab instructor will show you how to do this in lab session if there is time.
+==== Changing the document's paragraph spacing ====
+Very often in academic writing, you will be requested to submit documents that are //doubled spaced// (i.e., have a space between lines that is the same as a blank line). This is to allow enough room for someone reviewing your work to write comments. Other situations may require other line spacings. Default line spacing is governed by the Style Set; however, it is easy to globally change the line spacing for a document.
+To change the document's default line spacing:
+  - On the **Home** tab in the **Styles** group, click the **Change Styles** button
+  - In the menu that appears, over over the **Paragraph Spacing** item
+  - In the menu that appears, hover over the desired spacing name to see a live preview and click on the name to apply it to the document.
+    * For more options, select the **Custom Paragraph Spacing** item
+===== Lists =====
 You can quickly add bullets or numbers to existing lines of text, or Word can automatically create lists as you type.
-=== Turning existing lines into a list ===
+==== Turning existing lines into a list ====

+==== Automatically starting a list ====
-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.)
+By default, if you start a paragraph with an asterisk (//*//) or the number '1' followed by a period (//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.)
-==== Word Practice: Modifying an Existing Document ====
+===== Automatic Text =====

+  * To insert a //page number//, go to the **Insert** tab, **Header & Footer** group, click on the **Page Number** icon and select the desired option.
+  * To insert the current //date and/or time//, go to the **Insert** tab, **Text** group, click on the **Date & Time** icon and select the desired format. You may also check the **Update automatically** checkbox if you want the date and time to be updated whenever the document is accessed.

-//Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954): Fauves Artist//
+The document that you open should have the following text(("Henri Matisse | Fauves Artist." Lucidcafé Interactive Café and Information Resource. http://www.lucidcafe.com/library/95dec/matisse.html (accessed February 24, 2011).)) in it:
-//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.//
+''Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954): Fauves Artist''
-//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.//
