What kind of experience do you have with the tools and features of Microsoft Word for formatting text (applying styles, adjusting spacing between lines, adjusting paragraph spacing, using the ruler for indentation instead of tab, etc.)

I’ve always considered myself somewhat proficient in Microsoft Word, though formatting text and styling has never been a priority when using the application. Therefore, I realized while working on this assignment that my skills don’t extend as far as I’d originally thought. I knew how to change the margin and font sizes, adjust the spacing between lines, and even adjust paragraph spaces. But using a ruler for indentation instead of tab? Couldn’t be me. Accessing the style menu at all was a chore, moreover trying to figure out why my style settings didn’t allow for “PostHeadPara” or “Para.” Generally speaking, I definitely have a lot to learn regarding style in Word.
