                                                             your text.


                                                  Did You Know?


                                                  Word processing apps can organise lists of information
                                                  with the use of bullet points or tables. Changing the
                                                  distance between lines and paragraphs makes the
                                                  appearance of a document better and easier to read.
                                                  Copying format styles makes changes to a document
                                                  much faster. There are many symbols that you might see
                                                  in documents which are not available on your keyboard but
                                                  you can add from the word processing apps.
